BEFORE USE
HANDLING OF THE PACKED MACHINE
The machine is supplied with suitable packing fore-
seen for fork lift truck handling.
The total weight is 255kg.
Packing dimensions:
Base: 178 cm x 93 cm
Height: 138 cm
ATTENTION:
Do not place more than 2 packings on top of each
other.
UNPACKING OF THE MACHINE
1. Remove the external packing.
2. Unscrew the brackets (1+2) that secure the ma-
chine to the pallet.
3. Move the machine backwards, avoiding heavy
contacts to mechanical parts.
4. Keep the pallet and the brackets for eventual
transport.
ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
In order to reach the battery compartment, it is nec-
essary to rotate forwards the recovery tank (1).
Before rotating it, it is necessary to:
1. Bring the machine on a levelled surface.
2. Take off the squeegee hose (2) from its seat.
3. Take off the suction cover (4) after turning the
blocking levers (3).
4. Verify by lifting the filter and its protection, that
the tank is empty, otherwise, proceed to the empty-
ing as indicated under paragraph "RECOVERY TANK
CLEANING".
5. Rotate, lifting lightly the tank from its rear han-
dle until the gas shock absorber (1) acts, which lifts
it up to a first position. Lifting it more, the maximum
opening can be obtained.
6. Having finished any type of intervention, close
the battery compartment pushing the tank down-
wards if it is open at the first position, while from
the maximum opening it is necessary to unblock the
support of the gas shock absorber (1).
7. Reassemble everything.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETTING OF THE
BATTERY TYPE
The machine is equipped either with batteries in se-
rial connection or elements of DIN-type assembled
together and connected in series, placed in its ap-
propriate compartment under the recovery tank and
must be handled using suitable lifting equipment
(due to weight, considering the type of batteries
chosen, and coupling system).
The batteries must be in accordance with CEI 21-5
Norms.
The machines at 36V fill the battery compartment
completely while the 24V version has to fit the bat-
teries into the appropriate reduced steel basin.
ATTENTION:
The machine and its battery check card foresee the
use of traditional lead batteries.
CHECK SETTING OF THE CHECK CARD ON THE INDI-
CATOR (1) (see under paragraph "BATTERIES CHARGE
LEVEL INDICATOR").
In case of GEL batteries installation, it is necessary to
set the battery check card. Please contact the autho-
rized technical assistance.

ATTENTION:
Strictly follow manufacturer/distributor indications
for the maintenance and recharge of the batteries.
All installation and maintenance operations must be
executed by specialized staff, using suitable protec-
tion accessories.
For batteries installation it is necessary to reach the
battery compartment as indicated under paragraph
"ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT".
1. Rotate the recovery tank up to the maximum
opening position.
2. Place the batteries in its compartment.
3. Connect the terminals, respecting the polari-
ties, avoiding contact with other parts that could
create short circuit.
BATTERY RECHARGER
Be sure that the battery recharger is suitable for
the installed batteries both for their capacities
and type (lead/acid or GEL and equivalent).
In the plastic bag containing the use and mainte-
nance you will find the coupling connector for the
recharger. It must be assembled onto the cables of
your recharger, following the instructions given by
the manufacturer.
ATTENTION:
This operation must be carried out by qualified staff.
A wrong or faulty cable connection can cause seri-
ous damages to persons or things.
ON-BOARD BATTERY RECHARGER (OPTIONAL)
If the machine is equipped with the on-board bat-
tery recharger (see under "OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES")
please refer to the instructions of the constructor of
this accessory what the recharging operations con-
cern.
The battery recharger is connected directly to the
battery poles.
During the recharging operations a device is activat-
ed which does not permit the machine's functioning.
The mains cable of the battery recharger has a max-
imum length of two metres and must be connected
to a single-phase socket type CEE 7/7.
