SKIRT HEIGHT AND OPERATION CHECK
1.
With the machine on level and adequate ground to
check the skirt height, activate the brake pedal
(26, Fig. C) (if present), or block the wheels.
2.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
Side skirt check
3.
Check the side skirt (13 and 14, Fig C) integrity.
Replace the skirts when they have cuts (1, Fig N)
larger than 20 mm (0.75 in) or cracks (2) larger
than 10 mm (0.5 in) (see the "Service Manual" for
Skirt Replacement).
4.
Check that the side skirt (13 and 14, Fig. C) height
from the ground is within 0 – 3 mm ( 0-1/8 in) (see

Install in the reverse order of removal.
Right skirt:
a.
Remove the Main Broom, as described in the
related chapter.
b.
Remove the belt (12, Fig. T) from the pulley
(14, Fig. T); to facilitate the operation, rotate
the pulley (14, Fig. T) by rotating the fan (16,
Fig. T).
c.
Remove the screws (25, Fig. C) and the right
cover (24, Fig. C) together with the belt (12,
Fig. T).
d.
On the machine, adjust the skirt (1, Fig. R)
height by loosening the two screws (2, Fig.

BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING!
Battery charging produces explosive hy-
drogen gas. Charge the batteries only in a
well-ventilated area and far from open
flames or sparks.
Do not smoke during battery charging.
Keep the hood open while recharging the
battery.
WARNING!
Pay attention during battery recharging
because there can be battery liquid leaka-
ge. The battery liquid is corrosive. If it co-
mes in contact with the skin or eyes rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a phy-
sician.
1.
Drive the machine on level ground and activate
the brake pedal (26, Fig. C) (if present),or block
the wheels.
2.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
3.
Open the hood (7, Fig. C).
4.
Only for lead-acid batteries check the correct level
of electrolyte inside the battery; if it is necessary fill
through the caps (8, Fig. T) to the required level.
5.
Leave the caps (8) open for the next recharging.
6.
Clean (if necessary) the upper surface of the bat-
tery.
7.
Connect the battery charger electrical cable (5,
Fig. T) to the electrical supply (the system voltage
and frequency must be compatible with the bat-
tery charger: see the Battery Charger Manual).
8.
When the green warning light (11, Fig. T) turns on,
the battery is charged.
NOTE:
For further information about the battery
charger (4, Fig. T) see the related Manual.
9.
Disconnect the battery charger electrical cable (5,
Fig. T) from the electrical supply and put it back
into its housing in the machine.
