PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE
4. BATTERIES ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION (battery machine
only)
For the best mix of economy and usage we suggest fitting 2 x 12V 140Ah
batteries. Before assembly, ensure the batteries are charged.
Assembly instructions:
1. Remove the “on-off” key from the lock.
2. Open the bonnet of the machine.
3. Using a suitable lifting method, position the batteries correctly in the
compartment observing the polarity as in the attached picture.
4. Connect the bridge cables and the positive and the negative
connections as in the attached picture.
5. TRACTION MOTOR CONNECTION (battery machine only)
1. Take the key out of the instrument board.
2. Connect the traction motor cable, identified by the carton tag.
3. Insert the key again.
6. BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION
Open the front bonnet. Inside there is a female connector (see the
picture) into which the male connector, (fixed to the battery charger
cables) must be inserted. The male coupling connector is delivered in
the bag containing this instrument catalogue and must be assembled on
the charger cable. Pay attention to the polarities.
ATTENTION!
This operation must be done by qualified staff.
A wrong or imperfect cables connection to the connector could
cause heavy damages to people or things.
7. BATTERIES
RECHARGING
In order to avoid damage to the batteries, it is necessary to avoid their
complete discharge.
After having connected the batteries to the machine with the battery
charger, proceed with the charge until it is completed. Usually the battery
charger gives the necessary charge until its automatically stopping. We
advise to use a 24V – 15A battery charger.
ATTENTION:
with reference to the batteries space features,
please see what there’s in the last page.
ATTENTION
: never leave the batteries completely
discharged, even if the machine is not used. During the
recharge check the level of the electrolyte and top up with
distilled water.
