• remove the bags in the battery compartment (in the detergent tank) and check the
contents:
- guarantee slip;
- use and maintenance manual;
- battery bridges with terminals (battery model only);
- 1 battery charger connector (battery models only);
•
depending on the model, remove the metal brackets or cut the plastic straps fixing
the machine chassis to the pallet;
•
using a sloping ramp, push the machine backwards off the pallet;
•
unpack the brushes (fig. 3, ref. 1) and squeegee (fig. 3, ref. 2);
•
clean the outside of the machine in respect of safety regulations;
•
after unpacking the machine, install the batteries (battery models) or connect the
electrical connections (cable models). See relevant sections.
The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to
another site or to a repair workshop.
Otherwise it must be disposed off in compliance with current legislation.

Electrical connections and earth (cable models)
The electrical characteristics of the machine are given on the rating plate (fig. 1). Make
sure the frequency and voltage correspond to those of the mains supply where the
machine will be operated. As far as voltage is concerned, models where the rating plate
specifies a voltage of 230 V can be used with voltages of between 220 V and 240 V.
Similarly, models rated at 115 V can be used at between 110 V and 120 V. The frequency
on the plate must always correspond to the mains voltage.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the mains circuit is suitably earthed and that the sockets (and any
adaptors used) ensure the continuity of the earth conductors.

DANGER
Failure to observe these instructions could cause possibly serious damage to
people and things and invalidates the guarantee.
5.5.
Power supply batteries (battery models)
Two different types of battery may be installed on these machines:
•
tubular leak-proof batteries: the electrolyte level must be checked regularly. When
necessary, top up with distilled water until the plates are covered. Do not overfill (5 mm
max. above the plates).
•
gel batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.
The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph on the
technical specification of the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously
jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor overheating. Batteries with a
lower capacity and weight will require recharging more frequently.
They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.
INFORMATION
Follow the instructions below to set the type of battery installed on the machine’s
hardware or software.
Mechanical drive version (B): on the back of the control panel, move the bridge (fig. 16)
to select the type of battery installed on the machine (ACID-LEAD/GEL)
