Battery Installation
1 Open the cover and check that the battery connector is disconnected
2 Install the battery on the machine, connect the terminals and fasten it with the relevant belt
Warning!
This machine requires sealed lead batteries (GEL or AGM technology). Do not use
batteries with liquid electrolyte or not sealed (WET) for any reason.
Warning!
Pay special attention when connecting the battery pins. The red cable must be
connected to the positive pin (+), the black cable must be connected to the negative
pin (-) of the battery. A wrong connection can damage the battery charger.
Warning! The installed battery (GEL/AGM) may require a specific charging algorithm: See the
Battery Charger Setting and Dipswitch Configuration paragraph to set the proper
charging algorithm for the installed battery.
3 Connect the battery connector and close the cover
4 Charge the battery
Battery charging
Note:
Charge the batteries when the yellow or red LED turns on, or at the end of each working
cycle. Keeping the batteries charged make their life last longer.
Caution!
When the battery is discharged, charge is as soon as possible, as that condition
makes its life shorter. Check for battery charge at least once a week.
1
Drive the machine on a level floor.
2 Check that the function selection knob is turned to “0”
3 Connect the battery charger cable to the electrical mains (the electrical mains voltage and frequency
must be compatible with the battery charger values shown on the machine serial number plate)
Note:
When the battery charger is connected to the electrical mains, all machine functions
are automatically cut off. The red or yellow warning light (37) is on when the battery
charger is charging the batteries.
4 When the green warning LED stays on, the battery charging cycle is over
5 When the battery charging is completed, disconnect the battery charger cable from the electrical mains
and wind it round its housing
6 Now the machine is ready to be used
Note:
For further information about the operation of the battery charger, see the relevant
Manual attached.
