Batteries: Preparation

DANGER: While installing or performing maintenance on the batteries, 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 short circuiting the
battery poles, avoid sparks and do not smoke.
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. Follow the instructions in the relevant section.

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.
Follow the instructions given below meticulously 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. Release the dirty water drum (fig. 2, ref. 2) from the detergent tank (fig. 2, ref. 7) by pulling the catch (fig. 4, ref. 1). Lift the dirty
water drum and tilt it backwards by about 90°. This provides access to the battery compartment (in
the detergent tank) from above.
3. Place the batteries in the compartment in the direction shown in the drawing printed inside the compartment on the detergent
tank.
WARNING -Mount the batteries on the machine using lifting means suitable for their weight. The positive and negative poles have different
diameters.
4. Referring to the wiring layout shown in the above diagram, connect the battery cable and bridge terminals to the battery poles.
Arrange the cables as shown in the diagram, tighten the terminals on the poles and cover with Vaseline.
5. Lower the dirty water drum into its work position and fasten it to the detergent tank;
6. When using the machine, follow the instructions below.
