MACHINE PREPARATION
TYPE OF BATTERY
To power the machine you can use:
•
two lead traction batteries with tubular plates and free electrolyte;
•
two airtight traction batteries with gas recombination gel technology.
Each battery consists of elements connected in series so as to provide the clamps with a voltage of
24V.
The maximum dimensions of each battery are:
-
width: 195mm, length: 360mm, height: 250mm
The maximum weight of each of the two batteries is 20kg.
To obtain a voltage of 24V, they must be connected together in series by specialised personnel
trained at the Comac Technical Assistance Centre
FITTING THE BATTERIES INTO THE MACHINE
The batteries must be housed in the special compartment beneath the recovery tank. They should be
handled using lifting equipment that is suitable in terms of both weight and hook-up system.
They must also satisfy the requirements of Standard CEI 21-5.
To insert the batteries you must:
Open the recovery tank cover, bringing it forwards.
detach the squeegee tube (1) from the recovery tank.
unthread the suction cap (2) by rotating it anticlockwise.
detach the “recovery tank” drainag
e tube from its hook.
remove the recovery tank.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER
Beneath the recovery tank cover there is the battery connector (2), in which the battery charger
connector must be inserted. The coupling connector of the battery charger is consigned inside the
bag containing this instruction booklet, and must be assembled on the cables of the battery charger
as indicated in the instructions.
WARNING!
This process must be carried out by qualified personnel. The incorrect or
imperfect connection of the cables to the connector can seriously harm people and
damage objects.
