type of battery maintenance, the operator must be
equipped with adequate safety accessories to pre-
vent accidents. Work far from open flames, do not
short-circuit the battery poles, do not generate
sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied full of acid so-
lution (for the Pb-Acid type) and ready for use. In
any case, follow the steps indicated in the manual
supplied with the battery and carefully follow the
instructions regarding safety and operating proce-
dures.
5.1.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION
To insert batteries in the battery compartment
(Photo F - 1) it is necessary to lower the brush plate
to the floor.
To access to the battery compartment, pull the
opening lever (Photo E - 1) and lift the recovery
tank (Photo L - 4).
Detach the spring clip (Photo F - 3) placed on the
lifting cable of the brush plate.
Place the batteries in the battery compartment
(Photo F -1) checking that they are in perfect con-
ditions.
5.1.4 BATTERY CONNECTION
(
!
)
These operations must be carried out by spe-
cialized personnel.
Install and charge the batteries in a dry ventilated
place, far from sources of heat and corrosive sub-
stances. Make sure that the voltage between the
batteries and the battery charger corresponds. Pro-
tect the circuit with a delay switch or a fuse with a
higher charge than the maximum absorption of the
battery charger. Comply with the polarity of the bat-
tery plug.
Disconnect the Anderson connector of the battery
wiring from the Anderson connector of the machine
wiring (Photo D - 1). Always hold the connectors
with the hands and never pull on the cables.
Photo G show connection diagram of the batteries
for KF 45BBC machines.
( ) Attach the battery wiring to the battery,
connecting the terminals only on the poles
marked with the same symbol (red wiring
“+”, black wiring “-“)!
A battery short-circuit may cause an explo-
sion!
After checking that all the controls on the panel are
in position “0” or at rest, connect the battery con-
nector to the machine connector.

We recommend to call the assistance centre or
a technician if you have problems with the setting
given.
The machine is equipped with a battery charger
configurated for GEL batteries
If the operator whish to use Pb-Acid battery, it is
necessary change the battery charger settings as

DISPLAY OF THE BATTERY CHARGER SET-
TINGS
The battery charger settings are shown by the
blinking of the LED indicator when the battery
charger is switching on:
- the RED LED indicator ( Photo H - 2 ) flashes
2 times
= the battery charger is set for
PB-Acid
batteries
-
the GREEN LED indicator ( Photo H - 3 )
flashes 2 times
= the battery charger is set for
GEL
batteries
The battery charger settings will be displayed even
if batteries are not connected.

DIP-SWITCH CONFIGURATION FOR PC-
ACID/GEL BATTERY CHARGING CURVE
To set the charging curve type for Pb-Acid or GEL
batteries it is necessary to
operate on a dip-
switch placed inside the battery charger (
Photo H - 4 )
.
The dip-switch available for the setting of the
charging curve is on the control card ( Photo H - 4
) that is placed behind the lower panel of the bat-
tery charger ( Photo H - 1 ). It is also possible to
reach the dip-switch by removing the plastic cap (
Photo H - 5 ).
Starting from left to right, the dip-switch available
for the setting of the charging curve is the first one,
that is indicated by number
1 in dip-switch SW1
( Photo H - 6 )
NOTE: the position of all the remaining dip-switches
must NOT be changed
.
