CONNECTING BATTERIES TO THE SYSTEM OF THE APPLIANCE
The batteries should be connected so as to obtain a total voltage of 24V.
WARNING
: it is recommended that all installation and maintenance operations be carried out by
expert personnel, trained at the specialised assistance centre.
WARNING
: to prevent an accidental short circuit use insulated tools to connect the batteries, and
do not place or drop metal objects on the battery. Remove rings, watches and any clothing with
metal parts that may come into contact with the battery terminals.
The various phases for inserting the batteries in the battery compartment are as follows:
1.
Using the jumper cable supplied (1), connect the “+” and “-” poles of the batteries in series (
Fig. 1
).
2.
Connect the battery connector cable (2) to the “+” and “-” poles to obtain a voltage of 24V on the
terminals (
Fig. 2
).
3.
Connect the battery connector (2) to the electric system connector (3) (
Fig. 3
).

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
The battery must be charged prior to the first use, and when it doesn't provide enough power for tasks
that could formerly be performed without difficulty.
WARNING
: to avoid any permanent damage to the batteries, it is essential to avoid their complete
discharge; begin recharging them within a few minutes of noting the “discharged batteries” signal.
N.B.
: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the device is not being used.
3.
For B versions, make sure the device is switched off. If it isn't, press the main switch (3) on the back
of the device (
Fig. 3
).
N.B.
: in B versions, the main switch (3) is in the idle position when the LED inside it is OFF and
the activation symbol is not visible.
4.
For BT versions, make sure the device is switched off. If it isn't, set the main switch (4) to “0” by
making a quarter turn to the left with the key (5) (
Fig. 4
). Remove the key from the instrument panel.
5.
Grip the handle (6) on the left side of the recovery tank (
Fig. 5
) and turn the tank as far as it will go,
until it reaches the maintenance position (
Fig. 6
).
N.B.
: for battery maintenance and daily recharging, you must fully respect the indications provided
by the manufacturer or retailer.
WARNING
: all installation and maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised
personnel.
WARNING
: before installing the battery, clean the battery compartment. Check that the
connectors on the cables supplied are functioning correctly.
WARNING
: check that the characteristics of the battery that you are looking to use are appropriate
for the type of work to be performed. Check the battery charge and the condition of the contacts
on the battery.
CAUTION
: you are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting and transportation means
suitable for the specific weight and size
ATTENTION:
the lifting hooks must not damage the blocks, connectors or cables.
N.B.
: before inserting the batteries, remember to cover the terminals with a little grease to protect
them against external corrosion.
6.
House the batteries in the compartment, positioning the poles “+” and “-“ opposite each other (
Fig. 7
).

To recharge the batteries without the built-in battery charger, proceed as follows:
1.
Bring the appliance to the zone where the batteries are charged.
2.
Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see “
WARNING
: park the appliance in an enclosed place, on a flat surface; near the appliance there
must be no objects that could either damage it, or be damaged through contact with it.
WARNING
: the room used to recharge the batteries must be adequately ventilated to prevent the
accumulation of gases that leak from batteries.
3.
Grip the handle (1) on the left side of the recovery tank (
Fig. 1
).
4.
Turn the recovery tank up to the end stop, maintenance position (
Fig. 2
).
5.
Disconnect the electric system connector (3) from the battery connector (2) (
Fig. 3
).
WARNING
: the following operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect
connection of the connector may cause a malfunction of the device.
6.
Connect the external battery charger cable connector (4) to the battery connector (2) (
Fig. 4
).
N.B.
: the coupling connector of the battery charger is consigned inside the bag containing this
instruction booklet, and must be assembled on the cables of the battery charger as indicated in
the instructions.
WARNING
: before connecting the batteries to the battery charger, make sure it is suitable for the
batteries used.
N.B.
: carefully read the use and maintenance instructions of the battery charger that is used for
charging.
WARNING
: keep the recovery tank open for the duration of the battery recharging cycle to allow
gas fumes to escape.
7.
When the recharge cycle is complete, disconnect the battery charger cable connector (4) from the
battery connector (2) (
Fig. 5
).
8.
Connect the electric system connector (3) to the battery connector (2) (
Fig. 6
).
9.
Grip the handle (1) on the side of the recovery tank (
Fig. 7
).
10.
Turn the recovery tank as far as it will go, to the work position (
Fig. 8
).
