5.4.2. Batteries: installation and connection
!
DANGER
Check that all switches on the control panel are in the "0" (off) position.
Make sure you connect the terminals marked with a "+" to the positive poles of the
battery. Do not check the battery charge by sparking.
Meticulously follow the instructions given below as short circuiting the batteries
could cause them to explode.
1. Make sure the two tanks are empty (if necessary, empty them. See the relevant
paragraph).
2. Lift the solution tank and tilt it backwards around 90°, ACCOMPANYING IT the whole
time: this provides access to the battery compartment from above.

IMPORTANT
before lifting the solution tank, always remove the suction hose fitted to the squeegee.
3. Place the batteries in the battery compartment.

IMPORTANT
Mount the batteries on the machine using means suitable for their weight.
The positive and negative poles have different diameters.
4. Referring to the arrangement of cables shown in the diagram (fig. D), connect the
battery cable and bridge terminals to the battery poles.
Arrange the cables as shown in the diagram (fig. D), tighten the terminals on the poles
and cover with Vaseline.
5. Lower the tank into the working position
6. When using the machine, follow the instructions below.
5.4.3. Batteries: removal
!
DANGER
When removing the batteries, the operator must be equipped with suitable personal
protection devices (gloves, goggles, overalls, safety shoes, etc) to reduce the risk
of accidents. Make sure the switches on the control panel are in the "0" position
(off) and the machine is turned off. Keep away from naked flames, do not short
circuit the battery poles, do not cause sparks and do not smoke. Proceed as
follows:
•
disconnect the battery wiring and bridge terminals from the battery poles.
•
if necessary, remove the devices fixing the battery to the base of the machine.
•
lift the batteries from the compartment using suitable lifting equipment.
5.5. The battery charger
 IMPORTANT
Never allow the batteries to become excessively flat as this could damage them
irreparably.
5.5.1. Choosing the battery charger
Make sure the battery charge is compatible with the batteries to be charged:
•
tubular lead batteries : an automatic battery charger is recommended
•
gel batteries: use a charger specific for this type of battery.
Check with the manufacturer and see the battery charger manual to verify the choice.
