MACHINE PREPARATION
4. TYPE OF BATTERY
To power the machine it is necessary to use:
liquidelectrolyte lead traction batteries
sealed traction batteries with gasrecombination or gel technology
OTHER TYPES MUST NOT BE USED.
The batteries must meet the requisites laid out in standards CEI EN 60254-1:2005-12 (CEI 21-5) + CEI
EN 60254-2:2008-06 (CEI 21-7).
Every battery consists of DIN-type elements connected in series and providing the clamps with a power
of 6 V. You are advised to use batteries with an electric capacity of 200 Ah (C5)
5. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
For maintenance and recharging, respect the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are
different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
Proceed as follows when the battery is dead:
1.
Open the hinge blocking the recovery tank.
2.
Open the battery compartment and disconnect the connector.
3.
Remove the battery by using suitable devices, lifting it with the provided handles.
EXHAUSTED BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS WASTE AND MUST BE
CONSIGNED TO THE AUTHORISED BODIES FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL.
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands
ATTENTION: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting
and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size
6. INSERTING THE BATTERIES
The machine may be supplied with batteries and a built-in battery charger.
If batteries other than those supplied with the machine are used, have the battery charger and battery
control card configuration checked by a qualified, COMAC-trained technician.
Perform a battery charging cycle before using the machine.
The batteries must be housed in the appropriate compartment beneath the recovery tank, and must
satisfy the requisites of Standard CEI 21-5.
To insert the batteries you must:
1.
Make sure the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it completely

3.
Lower the squeegee and brush head (see the appropriate chapters)
4.
open the rear hinge that closes the upper tank
5.
Rotate the tank as far as it will go, using the side handle
ATTENTION: Before fitting the batteries, lift in the backing and connect the
traction connector.
this process must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect
connection of the connector may cause problems with machine functioning.
This operation is only possible for machines with automatic traction
