Preparing The Machine For Work
Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip shoes, mask to protect the respiratory tract, gloves and all other personal pro-
tection devices necessitated by the work environment.
Batteries: installation And Connection
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 the first time,
charge the batteries.
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.
Rotate the top cowling through 90° towards the back of the machine.
2.
Place the battery/ies into the compartment.
3.
Connect the battery/ies.
Mount the batteries on the machine using means suitable for their weight. The positive and negative poles have different diameters.
•
Rotate the top cowling.
•
When using the machine, follow the instructions below.
Batteries: Removal
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.
The Battery Charger
Never allow the batteries to become excessively flat as this could damage them irreparably.
Choosing The Battery Charger
Make sure the battery charge is compatible with the batteries to be charged.
•
Tubular lead batteries: you are recommended to use an automatic battery charger. However, you should always consult the
battery charger manufacturer and manual to confirm the choice.
•
Gel batteries: use a charger specific for this type of battery.
Preparing The Battery Charger
If you wish to use a battery charger not provided with the machine, you must fit it with the connector supplied with the machine.
To install the connector, proceed as follows:
•
Remove about 13 mm of protective sheath from the red and black wires of the battery charger;
•
Insert the wires into the connector contacts and squeeze them forcefully with suitable pliers;
•
Respect the polarity (red wire + black wire –) when inserting the wires into the connector.
•
Insert the wired-up connector into the connector in the machine compartment.
