• 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.
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 connector
of the machine wiring. Always hold the connectors
with the hands and never pull on the cables.
• 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 explo-
sion!
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 con-
figurated for GEL batteries
To change the battery charger settings read the ma-
nual provided by the battery charger manufacturer.
6.4
MACHINE PREPARATION
• Before starting to work, wear non-slip shoes, gloves
and any other personal protection device indicated
by the supplier of the detergent used or considered
necessary based on the operating environment. ☞ Do
the following before starting to work. Refer to the rel-
ative 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 dry-
ing 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 working
from the farthest area to avoid passing over areas that
have already been cleaned.
7. OPERATING INFORMATION
7.1
BATTERY CHARGING
Prepare and check the battery charge according to
the instructions provided in the specific section.
• Follow the steps indicated in the battery manufac-
turer's operating and safety manual (see the battery
maintenance section).
If the machine is equipped with gel batteries (main-
tenance free), follow the instructions indicated here
below.
Hold the connectors with the hands; don't pull them
using the cables.
7.2
BRUSH ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY
• Never use the machine if the brush or the pad
holder with abrasive pad is not perfectly installed.
Assembly:
Place the brush on the floor;
lift the squeegee using the lifting/lowering lever (Foto
B-19).
Holding the handlebar (Foto C-20) push it downward
in order to lift the front part of the machine by rotat-
ing it on the rear wheels (Foto C-20);
move the machine and place it over the brush, taking
care that the coupling flange on the brush is under
the metal coupling of the machine.
Switch on the machine using (Foto E-32) the general
ON/OFF switch on the control panel (Foto E-13) .
Select the brush rotation with the brush switch (Foto
E-33) and start the brush rotation pulling the control
lever (Foto A-2) : the brush will couple automatically.
To assemble the pad holder follow the same proce-
dure.
