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 maintenance 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.
ON-BOARD BATTERY RECHARGER (OPTIONAL)
If the machine is equipped with the on-board battery recharger (see
under "OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES”) please refer to the instructions of the
constructor of this accessory what the recharging operations concern.
The battery recharger is connected directly to the battery poles.
During the recharging operations a device is activated which does not
permit the machine's functioning.
The main cable of the battery recharger has a maximum length of two
meters (6.5 ft.) 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 ON-BOARD BATTERY RECHARGER
(OPTIONAL)
Bring the machine on a leveled surface near to a single-phase socket
(within 2m, 6.5 ft.) with tension 230V, frequency 50Hz (for USA 120V,
60Hz), nominal current 10A.
Switch off the switches of the brushes motor, suction 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.
Never charge a GEL battery with a non suitable recharger. Strictly
follow the instructions supplied by the batteries and recharger
manufacturer.
In order not to cause permanent damages to the batteries, it is
necessary to avoid their complete discharge, providing for the
recharging within a few minutes after batteries discharge signal starts
blinking.
Never leave batteries completely discharged even if the machine is not
used. In case of traditional batteries, please check the electrolyte level
every 20 recharging cycles and eventually fill them up with distilled
water.
Danger of gas exhalations and emission of corrosive liquids. Fire
danger: do not approach with free flames.
BATTERIES DISPOSAL
It is compulsory to hand over exhausted batteries, classified as
dangerous waste, to an authorized institution according to the current
laws.
BATTERIES CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR
When the machine is switched on, on the display (1) appears the setting
of the battery check card:
GE 24: check card set for GEL batteries.
Pb 24: check card set for lead batteries.
On the display (1) the following indication of the battery charge level is
digital and indicates the percentage of the battery charge. 100 is the
maximum charge, down to a minimum of 10, indicating every 10%
decrease.
When the charge level reaches 10%, the display starts blinking
indicating the end of the battery charge.
After a few seconds from the four blinking ‘’----’’ dashes, the brushes
motor stops automatically. With the remaining charge it is anyhow
possible to finish the drying operation before proceeding to the
recharge.
