protects the plate and the paint for thousands
of hours in a saline fog. All screws are made with
stainless steel; the tanks (body) are made with 7-8
mm thick shockproof polyethylene. Everything is
simple and very strong, without any other compli-
cated designs.
-
The battery compartment can house
very large batteries, which guarantees extended
running time.
-
The suction motor is housed inside the
machine, thus reducing operating noise to a mini-
mum.
-
The recovery tank is very easy to clean
due to the lack of the characteristic difficult access
points of recovery tanks located in a lower posi-
tion.

BATTERY
Regardless of the type of construction, battery
performances are indicated with the term capac-
ity, which always refers to a discharge period. An-
other important value is the number of possible
discharges. The capacity is expressed in amps per
hour (Ah), while the discharge period is generally
indicated as 20 hours (C20 or 20h, or not expressly
indicated) or 5 hours (C5 or 5h). The discharge/
charge cycles indicate the number of times that
the battery can hold a charge under the best con-
ditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery service
life complying with all the necessary measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depend-
ing on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why
there's such a variation in the capacity values ex-
pressed as C5 or C20. These factors must be taken
into account when comparing products available
on the market with our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of
batteries that differ in terms of their construction
and features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armoured modules:
the electrolyte level in each element must be pe-
riodically checked!
• If one element is no longer covered by the acid
solution it will oxidise in 24 hours, thus perma-
nently affecting that element's performance.
☞ Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical
damage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is main-
tenance free and does not require special envi-
ronments for recharging (since it does not emit
any harmful gases); therefore, it is highly recom-
mended.
• It should not be taken for granted that batter-
ies and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and bat-
tery chargers) will safeguard the performances,
the service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
5.1.2
BATTERY CHARGER
This type of high-frequency battery charger effi-
ciently charges batteries, extending their operat-
ing and service life. In addition, because they can
be configured, it is a very versatile solution; the
same battery charger can be used for both Pb-
Acid batteries and for gel batteries.
• It should not be taken for granted that batter-
ies and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and bat-
tery chargers) will safeguard the performances,
the service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
