Battery 

This machine is supplied with two 
batteries already connected in 
series, placed in its appropriate 
compartment under the recovery 
tank. 
In case the batteries need to be 
disassembled and/or replaced, 
please contact the authorized 
technical assistance.  
In fact, the replacement must be 
made exclusively with batteries 
which have the identical 
performances as the ones already 
installed. 
 

 

 
To reach the battery compartment 
it is necessary to: 
1. Remove the squeegee hose from 
its seat (17). 
2. Remove the suction filter cover 
(19) after turning the blocking 
levers (18). 
3. Lift and remove the recovery 
tank (16) holding it from the 
provided handles. One on the front 
and one on the rear of the tank. 
 

 
 
 

ATTENTION: 

Strictly follow 
manufacturer/distributor 
indications for the maintenance 
and daily recharge of the batteries. 
Specialized staff, using suitable 
protection accessories must 
execute all installation and 
maintenance operations. 
 

 

 

Battery recharging 

(Standard version with AGM 
batteries) 
The charge level of the battery is 
visible by first activating the main 
switch (1) placed on the instrument 
board, through three luminous 
LEDs placed on the frame in the 
rear part of the machine.  
A: green LED on = batteries are 
charged. 
B: orange LED on = level at half 
charge. 
C: red LED on = complete 
discharge of the batteries with 
consequent automatic switching 
off of all the machine's function. 
 

 

 
To prevent permanent damage to 
the batteries, it is essential to 
completely discharge every 6 or 7
