7.1 MACHINE PREPARATION
!
(
) Before starting to work, wear non-slip shoes,
gloves and any other personal protection device in-
dicated by the supplier of the detergent used or
considered necessary based on the operating envi-
ronment.
☞
(
) Do the following before starting to work. Refer
to the relative sections for a detailed description of
these steps:
Check the battery charge level and charge the bat-
tery if necessary (see 7.2).
assemble the brush or pad driver (with the abra-
sive pad) that are suitable for the surface and work
involved (see 7.3).
Assemble the squeegee, check that it is solidly at-
tached and connected to the suction hose and that
the drying blades are not too worn (see 7.5).
Fill the detergent solution tank with a mix of clean
water and non-foaming detergent in an adequate
concentration through the anterior hole. Leave 2
cm between the mouth of the plug and the level of
the liquid (see 7.9).
☞
(
) To avoid risks, become familiar with the ma-
chine movements, carrying out test runs on a large
surface without obstacles.
To obtain the best results in terms of cleaning and
equipment service life, you should do the following
simple but important operations:
- Identify the work area, moving all possible obsta-
cles out of the way; if the surface is very extensive,
work in contiguous and parallel rectangular areas.
- Choose a straight work trajectory and begin work-
ing from the farthest area to avoid passing over
areas that have already been cleaned.
7.2 BATTERY CHARGING
Connect the patch cord to the power cable of the
battery charger ( Photo 18 - A ) and to the mains
power.
When switching on, the battery charger CBHD1 will
check the battery voltage and decide whether to
start the charging process. If the battery is not con-
nected to the battery charger, the red LED will flash
( Photo 17 - A ). If the result of the test is positive

after 1 second the charging of the battery can start,
with the red LED on.
The progress of the charging process is shown by
three LED's: red, yellow and green, as in the whole
range of the battery chargers.
The green LED ( Photo 17 - C ) shows the end of
the charging. Disconnect the battery charger from
the mains power.
!
(
) For further information refer to the use and
safety manual of the battery charger provided by
the manufacturer.
If the machine is equipped with Pb-Acid batter-
ies, charge only in a well-ventilated area, remove
the recovery tank and open the battery plugs.
(
) Follow the steps indicated in the battery man-
ufacturer's operating and safety manual (see the
battery maintenance section).
Use an hydrometer to check the element liquid in-
tensity on a regular basis: if one or more elements
are discharged and the others fully charged, the
battery has been damaged and should be replaced
or repaired (refer to the battery service manual).
