Do not smoke or go near a naked flame or any other apparatus that can produce sparks.
Make sure that all the connections (wiring terminals, plugs, sockets etc.) are tigh fitting and efficient.
Do not rest tools or metallic objects on top of the batteries.
Avoid overloads and keep the temperature of the batteries below 45-50° C.
Top up with distilled water whenever the level of the electrolyte goes below 5-10 mm from the splash guard.
Keep any centralised filling systems clean and efficient.
Do not move the machine manually or start it up for any reason while recharging the battery.
CHAPTER 10 – CHECKS PRIOR TO STARTING UP
Check if the battery contains the sulphuric acid solution and if it is charged. If not, proceed as follows:
Carefully read the chapter "Safety rules and regulations", which specifies the risks involved with filling the elements with the sulphuric acid
Acquire the following instruments and personal protections: Safety glasses, protective gloves, 1 pair of scissors, 1 receptable for the transfer
Use the scissors to cut off the end of the plastic container holding the sulphuric acid solution and pour it into the transfer container.
Remove the cap to the chambers of the battery elements.
With the aid of the funnel, pour in the solution until it reaches the level shown on the outside of the battery.
Wait at least 12 hours leaving the battery inactive and then, if necessary, top up the solution bringing the levels, of the various
elements to the same conditions.
Carefully read, in the chapter "Safety rules and regulations", the risks involved in charging or discharging the battery.
Charge the battery.

CHAPTER 12 – CORRECT USE AND ADVICE
IMPORTANT: Before starting the job, make sure that the surface to be swept is free of objects such as ropes, strips of plastic or metal, rags,
stick, live electric cables or other similar articles. If such object are present, remove them to avoid damage to the machine or, in the case of
live electric cables, risks of electrocution.
Crossing over rails, small steps or guides which stick up from the floor can damage the flaps on the central brush vacuum chamber; this being
one of the most frequent causes of damage, if such object have to be crossed, lift the front part of the machine at the moment of crossing by
pressing down on the handle to gain leverage.
Avoid crossing over wet or particular damp surfaces in order to avoid damage to the paper filters. In cases of strict necessity, before crossing
stop suction pulling the lever Detail 4 Fig. 6.
If the area to be cleaned is very dirty owing to the quantity and quality of the dirt to be eliminated, it is advisable to pass over the first time to
get rid of the majority of the dirt, then pass over a second time with the waste container and the suction filters clean.
If the machine is used methodically and correctly, it is not necessary to carry out multiple passes.
