INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BATTERY CHARGE
NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow and red
warning lights (3 or 4, Fig. B) turn on, or at the
end of each cleaning operation.
Keeping the batteries charged makes their life
last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge
them as soon as possible, as that condition
makes their life shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
Battery charging produces highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries only in
well-ventilated areas and far from naked
flames.
Do not smoke during battery charging.
Keep the tank assembly open while charging
the batteries.
WARNING!
Pay attention during battery charging
because there can be battery fluid leaks. The
battery fluid is corrosive. If it comes in contact
with the skin or the eyes, rinse thoroughly
with water and consult a doctor.
1.
If equipped, empty the water from the tanks (4 and 5,
Fig. G) with the hoses (17 and 18, Fig. C).
2.
Drive the machine on a level ground.
3.
Remove the key (24, Fig. C) from its housing and
remove the tank assembly fastening screw (1, Fig. J).
WARNING!
Pay attention during battery charging
because there can be battery fluid leaks. The
battery fluid is corrosive. If it comes in contact
with the skin or the eyes, rinse thoroughly
with water and consult a doctor.
4.
Carefully lift the tank assembly (2, Fig. J) with the
handlebar (2, Fig. C).
5.
For lead batteries only:
– Check the correct level of electrolyte inside the
batteries; if necessary, top up through the caps (5,
Fig. J);
– Leave the caps (5) open for next charging;
– Clean (if necessary) the upper surface of the
batteries.
6.
Charge the batteries in the following way.

Battery charging with battery charger on board
1.
For lead batteries only:
– Check the correct level of electrolyte inside the
batteries; if necessary, top up through the caps (5,
Fig. J);
– When the correct level is reached, close the caps (5)
and clean (if necessary) the upper surface of the
batteries.
2.
Connect the battery charger plug (22, Fig. C) to the
electrical mains (the mains voltage and frequency must
be compatible with the battery charger values on the
machine serial number plate).
NOTE
When the battery charger is connected to the
electrical mains, all machine functions are
automatically cut off.
When the red warning light (4, Fig. B) on the
control panel turns on, it shows that the
battery charger is charging the batteries.
3.
When the red warning light (4, Fig. B) turns off, the
battery charging is completed.
4.
Once the battery charging is completed, disconnect the
battery charger plug (22, Fig. C) from the electrical
mains and wind it round its support on the machine.
5.
Carefully lower the tank assembly (2, Fig. J) with the
handlebar (2, Fig. C).
6.
Remove the key (24, Fig. C) from its housing and
remove the tank assembly fastening screw (1, Fig. J).
7.
The machine is ready to be used.
