to extract it from the top of the packing) and the
optional battery.
After moving the machine away from all the pa-
cking, start mounting the accessories and the
batteries as per the instructions provided in the
specific section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might
be useful in the future to protect the machine and
the accessories during transport to another loca-
tion or to authorized service centers. If not, the
packing can be disposed in accordance with current
disposal laws.
4.4 LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHI-
NE, BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
•
Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine.
There are no places on the frame that can be used
to lift the machine directly.
Before preparing the packing and transporting the
machine:
- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent so-
lution tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or
scrapers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an
equivalent one that can bear the weight and is big
enough for the machine’s overall dimensions) using
an inclined surface.
Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to
the pallet using metallic brackets or other elements
that can bear the weight of the parts.
Lift the pallet with the machine and load it on the
transport vehicle.
Secure the machine and the pallet using ropes con-
nected to the transport vehicle.
As an alternative, when using private transport
vehicles, use inclined ramps to push the machine
without the pallet, making sure to protect all parts
and the machine itself against violent impacts, hu-
midity, vibrations and accidental movements during
transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be
hooked for handling.
☞
To lift or insert the battery (into the machine
compartment), use only suitable personnel and
equipment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the opera-
tion and to bear the weight of the loads involved.
When transporting, take the same precautions and
follow the same instructions provided for the ma-
chine together with those in the special manufac-
turer’s manual.
The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the
same precautions and follow the same instructions
provided for the machine together with those in the
special manufacturer’s manual.
5. INSTALLATION INFORMATION
5.1 BATTERY
Regardless of the type of construction, battery
performances are indicated with the term capacity,
which always refers to a discharge period. Another
important value is the number of possible dischar-
ges. The capacity is expressed in amps per hour
(Ah), while the discharge period is generally indi-
cated as 20 hours (C20 or 20h, or not expressly
indicated) or 5 hours (C5 or 5h). The discharge/
charge cycles indicate the number of times that
the battery can hold a charge under the best con-
ditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery service
life complying with all the necessary measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depen-
ding on how fast it uses energy (current). That’s
why there’s such a variation in the capacity values
expressed as C5 or C20. These factors must be
taken into account when comparing products avai-
lable on the market with our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of
batteries that differ in terms of their construction
and features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armored modules:
the electrolyte level in each element must be pe-
riodically checked!
•
If one element is no longer covered by the
acid solution it will oxidize in 24 hours, thus
permanently affecting that element’s perfor-
mance.
•
Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical
damage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is main-
tenance free and does not require special envi-
ronments for recharging (since it does not emit
any harmful gases); therefore, it is highly recom-
mended.
•
It should not be taken for granted that batte-
ries and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and bat-
tery chargers) will safeguard the performances,
the service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
5.1.2 BATTERY PREPARATION
•
The technical features of the batteries used
must match those indicated in the technical featu-
res section. Using different batteries may cause se-
rious damage to the machine or may require them
to be charged more frequently.
•
During installation or when performing any
type of battery maintenance, the operator must
be equipped with adequate safety accessories to
prevent accidents. Work far from open flames, do
not short-circuit the battery poles, do not generate
sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied full of acid so-
lution (for the Pb-Acid type) and ready for use. In
any case, follow the steps indicated in the manual
supplied with the battery and carefully follow the
