BATTERY INSTALLATION
The machine will be supplied with a battery charger and
either two 12V wet or AGM batteries. The batteries
must be housed in the battery compartment beneath
the recovery tank.
To insert batteries:
1. Lift the recovery water tank, opening it as far as it will
go using the side handle.
2. The batteries must be lowered into the compartment
using lifting and transportation means suitable for the
weight and dimensions.
3. They must be connected together in series, to obtain
overall voltage of 24V on the lugs.
NOTE:
Fully charge the batteries before using the
machine.

MACHINE PREPARATION
BATTERY POWER LEVEL INDICATORS
The battery power level gage is located on the upper control panel. The gage has a series of LEDs to
indicate the amount of power left in the batteries. When the batteries have a full charge, all LEDs are lit.
As the batteries are discharged, the LEDs will begin to go out from right to left. To maximize the life of the
batteries, do not allow the LEDs to go beyond the discharge level as described below.
To maximize the life of the batteries, only recharge the batteries when the machine is operated for a total
of 30 minutes or more and always recharge the batteries immediately after usage when LEDs are indicating
charging is required as described below.
