6. INSTALLATION INFORMATION
6.1
BATTERY PREPARATION
• The technical features of the batteries used must
match those indicated in the technical features sec-
tion. Using different batteries may cause serious
damage to the machine or may require them to be
charged more frequently.
• During installation or when performing any type of
battery maintenance, the operator must be equipped
with adequate safety accessories to prevent acci-
dents. Work far from open flames, do not short-circuit
the battery poles, do not generate sparks and do not
smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied full of acid so-
lution (for the Pb-Acid type) and ready for use. In
any case, follow the steps indicated in the manual
supplied with the battery and carefully follow the in-
structions regarding safety and operating procedures.
6.2
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND PRE-
PARATION
• These operations must be carried out by special-
ised personnel.
Make sure the two tanks are empty. If not, empty
them in accordance with the specific procedure.
- Lift and remove the recovery tank.
This provides access to the battery compartment from
the top.
Disconnect the Anderson connector (Foto B-17*)
of the battery wiring from the Anderson con-
nector of the machine wiring. Always hold the
connectors with the hands and never pull on the ca-
bles.
• Attach the battery wiring to the battery, con-
necting the terminals only on the poles marked
with the same symbol (red wiring "+", black
wiring "-")! A battery short-circuit may cause
an explosion!
After checking that all the controls on the panel are in
position "0" or at rest, connect the battery connector
to the machine connector.
• Close the battery compartment (lowering the re-
covery tank) making sure not to crush any wires.
6.3
BATTERY CHARGER CONFIGURA-
TION
The machine is equipped with a battery charger
configurated for GEL batteries
To change the battery charger settings read the
manual provided by the battery charger manufac-
turer.
6.4
MACHINE PREPARATION
• Before starting to work, wear non-slip shoes,
gloves and any other personal protection device indi-
cated by the supplier of the detergent used or consid-
ered necessary based on the operating environment.
☞ 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, if neces-
sary. Mount the brushes or scraper disks (with the
abrasive disks) that are suitable for the surface and
work involved.
Mount the squeegee, check that it is solidly attached
and connected to the suction hose and that the drying
straps are not too worn.
Make sure that the recovery tank is empty. If not,
empty it completely. Check and completely close the
detergent solution release control.
Fill the detergent solution tank with a mix of clean
water and non-foaming detergent in an adequate
concentration through the rear hole.
☞ To avoid risks, become familiar with the machine
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 obstacles
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.
