MOVEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Lifting and transporting the packaged machine
! WARNING
During all lifting operations, make sure the packaged machine is firmly secured to avoid it tipping up or being accidentally dropped.
Always load/unload lorries in adequately illuminated areas.
The machine is packaged on a wooden pallet by the Manufacturer. It must be loaded onto the transporting vehicle using suitable equipment (see EC
Directive 2006/42 and subsequent amendments and/or additions). At destination, it must be unloaded using similar means.
A fork lift truck must always be used to lift the packaged body of the machine. Handle with care to avoid knocking or overturning the machine.
Delivery checks
When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the packaging and machine are both whole and undamaged. If the machine is damaged, make sure
the carrier is aware of the damage and before accepting the goods, reserve the right (in writing) to request compensation for the damage.
Unpacking:
! WARNING
When unpacking the machine, the operator must be provided with the necessary personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, etc.) to limit
the risk of accident.
Proceed as follows to unpack the machine:
► Cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors or nippers.
► Remove the cardboard packaging.
►
Remove the bags from the battery compartment and check their contents:
this Operator’s Manual, the maintenance manual, declaration of conformity, certificate of warranty;
battery bridges with terminals;
1 connector for battery charger.
2 electronic keys.
► Remove the metal brackets that secure the front wheels and the machine’s chassis to the pallet.
► Using a sloping ramp, push the machine backwards off the pallet. The machine must not be raised.
► Unpack the brushes from their packaging.
► Clean the outside of the machine, taking care to respect safety regulations.
Once the machine is clear of the packaging, proceed to install the batteries (see the “
Batteries: installation and connection
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 of in compliance with current legislation.
Batteries (Battery version)
Two different types of battery may be installed on these machines:
► Leak-proof tubular batteries (WET): these require regular checks on electrolyte level. When necessary, top up with distilled water until the
plates are covered. Do not over-fill (5 mm max. above the plates).
► Gel or AGM batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.
Battery technical characteristics must correspond to those listed in the
section. The use of higher capacity batteries could
seriously jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the drive motor overheating. Batteries with a lower capacity and weight will require charging more
frequently.
Batteries must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be kept tight.

Batteries: preparation
During battery installation and any type of battery maintenance, the operator must be provided with the necessary personal protection
