5.4.1 Batteries:

preparation

DANGER

On installing or performing any kind of maintenance on the batteries wear the

necessary accessories (e.g. protective gloves, goggles, overalls, etc.) to limit the

hazards of accidents, keep away from possible free flames, do not short-circuit the

battery poles, cause sparks or smoke.

The batteries are normally supplied filled with acid and ready-for-use.
If batteries without acid are to be used, before mounting them on the machine, it is
necessary to make them active as follows:



After taking off the battery plugs, fill up all elements with a solution of specific

sulphuric acid, until the cells are thoroughly covered (fill each element at least twice);



Let them rest for about 4-5 hours, to give time to air bubbles to come up to the

surface and the plates to absorb the electrolyte;



Check that the electrolyte level is still above the plates, otherwise top up with the

solution of sulphuric acid;



Reclose the plugs;



Install the storage batteries on the machine (following the procedure described below).



It is now necessary to perform a first recharging before having the machine start; to

do so stick to the instructions written in the respective paragraph.

5.4.2 Batteries: installation and connection

DANGER

Check that the key switch on the control panel is at the position “0” (off).

Mind you connect only the clips marked with the symbol “+” to the positive poles.

Do not check the battery charge by creating sparkles.

Stick scrupulously to the instructions described below, as any short circuits of the

batteries may cause them to explode.

1) Stop the machine and press the emergency button (fig. A, ref. 1);
2) Make sure that the two tanks are empty (empty them, if necessary: see respective

paragraph);

3) Unhook the recovery tank (fig. B, ref. 2) from the solution tank (fig. B, ref. 1) acting on

the blocking hook (fig. B, ref. 10), placed on right side of the machine;

4) Lift the recovery tank, by making it turn backwards around about 90°: in this way you

have access to the battery compartment (embedded in the solution tank) from the
upper side;
