sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied full of acid so-
lution (for the Pb-Acid type) and ready for use. In
any case, follow the steps indicated in the manual
supplied with the battery and carefully follow the
instructions regarding safety and operating proce-
dures.
5.1.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION
To insert batteries in the battery compartment
(Photo I - 2) it is necessary to lower the brush plate
to the floor.
To access to the battery compartment, unscrew the
opening knob (Photo N - 3) (Photo O - 1) and lift
the recovery tank (Photo N - 2).
Detach the spring clip (Photo I - 1) placed on the
lifting cable of the brush plate.
Place the batteries in the battery compartment
(Photo I - 2) checking that they are in perfect con-
ditions.
5.1.4 BATTERY CONNECTION
!
(
) These operations must be carried out by spe-
cialized personnel.
Install and charge the batteries in a dry ventilated
place, far from sources of heat and corrosive sub-
stances. Make sure that the voltage between the
batteries and the battery charger corresponds. Pro-
tect the circuit with a delay switch or a fuse with a
higher charge than the maximum absorption of the
battery charger. Comply with the polarity of the bat-
tery plug.
Disconnect the Anderson connector of the battery
wiring from the Anderson connector of the machine
wiring (Photo D - 5) (Photo G - 1) . Always hold the
connectors with the hands and never pull on the
cables.
Photo L show connection diagram of the batteries
for B - BT machines.
(
) Attach the battery wiring to the battery,
connecting the terminals only on the poles
marked with the same symbol (red wiring
"+", black wiring "-")!
A battery short-circuit may cause an explo-
sion!
After checking that all the controls on the panel are
in position "0" or at rest, connect the battery con-
nector to the machine connector.
!
(
) Close the battery compartment making sure
not to crush any wires.
Photo I - 3 show the correct connection of the bat-
teries for B - BT machines.
5.2 BATTERY CHARGER CONFIGURATION
!
(
) We recommend to call the assistance centre or
a technician if you have problems with the setting
given.
The machine is equipped with a battery charger
configurated for GEL batteries
If the operator whish to use Pb-Acid battery, it is
necessary change the battery charger settings as
follows:
!
(
) DISPLAY OF THE BATTERY CHARGER SET-
TINGS
The battery charger settings are shown by the
blinking of the LED indicator when the battery
charger is switching on:
- the RED LED indicator ( Photo H - 2 ) flashes
2 times = the battery charger is set for PB-Acid
batteries
- the GREEN LED indicator ( Photo H - 3 )
flashes 2 times = the battery charger is set for
GEL batteries
The battery charger settings will be displayed even
if batteries are not connected.
!
(
) DIP-SWITCH CONFIGURATION FOR BATTERY
CHARGING CURVE
To set the charging curve type for Pb-Acid, GEL or
OPTIMA batteries it is necessary to operate on
the dip-switches placed inside the battery
charger ( Photo H -4 ).
The dip-switches available for the setting of the
charging curve are on the control card ( Photo H -
4 ) that is placed behind the lower panel of the bat-
tery charger ( Photo H - 1 ). It is also possible to
reach the dip-switches by removing the plastic cap
( Photo H - 5 ).
For the setting of the charging curve for each kind
of batteries it is necessary to place the dip-
switches SW1 ( Photo H - 6 ) as shown in the
following table:
Battery
type
Optima
Pb-Acido
Gel / AGM
NOTE: the position of all the remaining dip-switches
must NOT be changed.
