Charge the batteries to a level not above 1/20th of their capacity.
Check level of electrolyte and top it up , if necessary , with distilled
water.
When the batteries are charged, connect again the connector (n°1
pic.7) to the connector (n°2 pic.7).
WARNING !
Batteries must be charged in ventilated places.
The gas generated during charging

PIC.4) from the handle.
Note : we recommend , when turning , that speed be decreased in
order to gain better manoeuvrability .
SERVICE AND PARKING BRAKE
The service brake is activated by the brake lever (n°3 PIC.4).
The parking brake is activated by the brake lever (n°3 PIC.4).
To release the brake , completely pull the brake lever (n°3 PIC.4 ),
pull the smaller lever (n°4 PIC.4) then release.
FLAP LEVER
If pieces of paper or other bulky objects are obstructing the front
dust seal (FLAP) you can clear it by raising and lowering the flap
several times, moving the flap lever n°2.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
Effective operation of the sweeper depends on the state of the filters
which must be kept clean.
If the area to be cleaned is particularly dusty, filters must be shaken
more often, at least every 5 minutes.
Move the lever n°3 to the C position for 5 seconds.
Repeat this operation a few times.
This automatic system for cleaning the filters is a "MINUTEMAN-
