5.4. Batteries
Two different types of battery may be installed on these machines:
• wet batteries: the electrolyte level must be checked regularly. When necessary, top
up with distilled water until the plates are covered. Do not over fill (5 mm max. above
the plates).
• gel batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.
The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph on the
technical specification of the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously
jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor overheating. Batteries with a
lower capacity and weight will require recharging more frequently.
They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.
Follow the instructions below to set the type of battery installed on the machine's logic
board.
1. Switch off the machine by turning the main switch (fig. A, ref. 1) to the 0 position.
2. Press the emergency button (fig. A ref. 10) (red light on).
3. Hold the solution/concentrated detergent flow quantity variation buttons (fig. A, ref.
2) down and simultaneously press the emergency button (fig. A, ref. 10) (red light
off). Keep the solution/concentrated detergent flow quantity variation buttons
pressed (fig. A, ref. 2) until "tip A", "tip G" appears on the display.
4. Use the solution flow regulation button (fig. A, ref. 3) to select the type of batteries
installed: "tip A" wet batteries, "tip G" gel batteries.
5. Memorise the parameter by pressing the emergency button (fig. A ref. 10).

5.4.1. Batteries: preparation

During installation of the batteries or any type of battery maintenance, the operator
must be provided with the necessary personal protection devices (gloves, goggles
overalls, etc) to limit the risk of accident. Keep away from naked flames, avoid
The batteries are normally supplied filled with acid and ready for use.
If the batteries are dry, before mounting them on the machine, proceed as follows:
• remove the caps and fill all elements with specific sulphuric acid solution until the
plates are entirely covered (this requires at least a couple of passes for each element);
• leave for 4-5 hours to allow the air bubbles to come to the surface and the plates to
absorb the electrolyte;
• make sure the level of electrolyte is still above the plates and if necessary top up with
sulphuric acid solution;
• close the caps;
• mount the batteries on the machine (following the procedure described below).
Before starting up the machine for the first time, charge the batteries as follows.
