BEFORE USE

HANDLING OF THE PACKED MACHINE

The machine is supplied with suitable packing fore-
seen for fork lift truck handling.
The total weight is 105 kg.
Packing dimensions:
Base: 118 cm x 67 cm
Height: 119 cm
ATTENTION:
Do not place more than 2 packings on top of each
other.

UNPACKING OF THE MACHINE

1. Remove the external packing.
2. Unscrew the brackets (1+2) that secure the ma-
chine to the pallet.
3. Move the machine backwards, as indicated in the
figure, avoiding heavy contacts to mechanical parts.
4. Keep the pallet for eventual transport.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETTING OF THE
BATTERY TYPE
This machine is equipped with two batteries at 12V
in serial connection, placed in its appropriate com-
partment under the recovery tank and must be han-
dled using suitable lifting equipment (due to weight
and coupling system).
The batteries must be in accordance with CEI 21-5
Norms.
The connection of the batteries' cables has to be car-
ried out by specialized staff, because the inversion of
polarity causes the damage of the electrical compo-
nents. Before the machine is supplied with power,
check that the red cable is connected to the + pole
of the battery.
For batteries installation proceed as follows:
1. Take off the squeegee hose (1).
2. Take off the suction cover (2) after turning the
blocking levers (3).
3. Take off the recovery tank (4).
4. Place the batteries in its compartment.
5. Connect the terminals, respecting the polari-
ties, avoiding contact with other parts that could
create short circuit.
6. Reassemble all parts.
ATTENTION:
The machine and its battery check card foresee the
use of traditional lead batteries.
CHECK THE SETTING OF THE CHECK CARD ON THE
INDICATOR (1).
In case of GEL batteries installation, it is necessary to
set the battery check card. Please contact the autho-
rized technical assistance.
ATTENTION:
Strictly follow manufacturer/distributor indications
for the maintenance and daily recharge of the bat-
teries. All installation and maintenance operations
must be executed by specialized staff, using suitable
protection accessories.

BATTERY RECHARGER

Be sure that the battery recharger is suitable for
the installed batteries both for their capacities
and type (lead/acid or GEL and equivalent).
In the plastic bag containing the use and mainte-
nance you will find the coupling connector for the
recharger. It must be assembled onto the cables of
your recharger, following the instructions given by
the manufacturer.

ATTENTION:
This operation must be carried out by qualified staff.
A wrong or faulty cable connection can create seri-
ous damages to persons or things.
INCORPORATED BATTERY RECHARGER (OPTION-
AL)
If the machine is equipped with the incorporated
battery recharger (see under "OPTIONAL ACCESSO-
RIES") please refer to the instructions of the con-
structor of this accessory what the recharging op-
erations concern.
To check the type of battery recharger assembled,
verify its serial number plate.
The battery recharger is connected directly to the
battery poles.
During the recharging operations a device is activat-
ed which does not permit the machine's functioning.
The mains cable of the battery recharger has a max-
imum length of two metres and must be connected
to a single-phase socket type CEE 7/7.

BATTERIES RECHARGING

Bring the machine on a levelled surface.
Plug in batteries connector (1) placed in the rear
part of the machine, to connector (2) of the battery
recharger.
BATTERIES RECHARGING WITH INCORPORATED
BATTERY RECHARGER (OPTIONAL)
Bring the machine on a levelled surface near to a
single-phase socket with tension 230V, frequency
50Hz, nominal current 10A.
Switch off the switches of the brushes motor, suc-
tion motor and of the solenoid valve.
Insert the plug into the mains socket.
At the end of the recharging, take off the plug from
the mains socket.
ATTENTION:
Never charge a GEL battery with a non suitable
recharger. Strictly follow the instructions sup-
plied by the batteries and recharger manufactur-
er.
In order not to cause permanent damages to the
batteries, it is necessary to avoid their complete dis-
charge, providing for the recharging within a few
minutes after batteries discharge signal starts blink-
ing.
