Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might be
useful in the future to protect the machine and the
accessories during transport to another location or to
authorised service centres. If not, the packing can be
disposed in accordance with current disposal laws.
4.4 UNBLOCKING THE ELECTROMECHANI-
CAL BRAKE
When the machine is switched off or without bat-
teries the electromechanical brake is bloc- king the
machine and it is not possible to move it.
To unblock the electromechanical brake it is ne- ces-
sary to operate on the traction motor in the front
wheel ( Photo L1 - 2 ) following the procedure men-
tioned here below:
- Screw the pin ( Photo L2 - 2 ) and the unblocking
lever ( Photo L2 - 1 ) in the fork seating ( Photo L1
- 1 )
- Pull the pin outwards ( Photo L3 )
- Rotate the lever towards the motor ( Photo L4 )
- Block the lever on the motor in order that the fork
lever ( Photo L1 - 1 ) will be fixed in the outer posi- tion
( Photo L5 ).
Once the machine have been moved, it is neces- sary
to carry out the same procedure on the con- trary in
order to replace the fork lever in the machine working
position ( Photo L1 - 1 ).
Remove the pin and lever
WARNING: Before using the machine be sure that
the fork lever is in the machine working position (
Photo L1 - 1 ).
4.5 LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHINE,
BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine. There
are no places on the frame that can be used to lift the
machine directly.
Before preparing the packing and transporting the
machine:
- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent solution
tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or pad
drivers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an equiva-
lent one that can bear the weight and is big enough
for the machine's overall dimensions) using an in-
clined surface.
Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to the
pallet using metallic brackets or other elements that
can bear the weight of the parts.
Lift the pallet with the machine and load it on the
transport vehicle.
Secure the machine and the pallet using ropes con-
nected to the transport vehicle.
As an alternative, when using private transport vehi-
cles, use inclined ramps to push the machine without
the pallet, making sure to protect all parts and the
machine itself against violent impacts, humidity, vi-
brations and accidental movements during transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be
hooked for handling.
To lift or insert the battery (into the machine com-
partment), use only suitable personnel and equip-
ment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the operation and
to bear the weight of the loads involved. When trans-
porting, take the same precautions and follow the
same instructions provided for the machine together
with those in the special manufacturer's manual.
The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the same
precautions and follow the same instructions pro-
vided for the machine together with those in the spe-
cial manufacturer's manual.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

5.1.1

BATTERY

Regardless of the type of construction, battery perfor-
mances are indicated with the term capacity, which
always refers to a discharge period. Another impor-
tant 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 conditions, i.e. they indicate the useful
battery service life complying with all the necessary
measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depending
on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why there's
such a variation in the capacity values expressed 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 bat-
teries that differ in terms of their construction and
features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armoured modules: the
electrolyte level in each element must be periodically
checked!
If one element is no longer covered by the acid
solution it will oxidise in 24 hours, thus permanently
affecting that element's performance.
Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical dam-
age and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is mainte-
nance free and does not require special environments
for recharging (since it does not emit any harmful
