3.4) Power from an external source
Using the integral socket (08) (see Fig. 6) the pump can operate from a external power supply
(24 V dc - min. 30A).
Using a connecting cables type ESC..., available as optional accessories , proceed as follows:
– Make sure that the voltage is 24V dc.
– Connect the cable ESC... to the external supply, for the cable with spring clips be sure to comply
with the polarity: red (+), black (–).
Should the polarity be accidentally reversed, the tool will not be damaged but will operate using only
the integral battery (11). For rectification, reposition the clips correctly.
– Remove the "24V DC" protective cap and connect the other end of the ESC... cable to the socket
(08) of the pump; tighten the plug (91) by turning the bezel clockwise until it locks.
– When the work is finished, disconnect the cable and replace the protective cap.
When operating with power supply from an external source, never short circuit
the metal contacts inside the battery housing. we advise leaving the battery (11) in its hous-
ing, where it will supply power in parallel with the external source.
3.5) Using the battery charger
Carefully follow the instructions in the battery charger manual.
The charging time with the specific charger supplied is approx. 60 minutes.
3.6) General information on how to use batteries
To use the batteries correctly, please follow these rules:
– Use the battery until the residual power display still has 1-2 red leds showing (see § 3.3):
this means the battery is almost completely discharged and no loss of the life of the battery has
occured.
– Charge the battery before completely discharging.
– Be particularly careful when charging a new battery the first 2-3 times, in order to ensure maxi-
mum available power.
– Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature, prior to recharging, as heat may affect
the recharging process.
– Charge the battery at ambient temperature of 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
– Never recharge a fully charged battery, overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.7) Storage
(Ref. to Fig. 7)
– After completion of the work: release the oil pressure by pressing the release push button (see
§ 3.2) and make sure that the ram of the head connected is completely retracted.
– Disconnect and store the remote controller (10) and hose (13) in the canvas accessories bag (15).
– Replace the protective caps.
– Store the unit in a clean, dry environment.
