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 protection devices necessitated

6.4.1. Internal combustion engine: preparation

Read the engine instruction manual annexed to the machine manual carefully and check
the level of oil in the engine. If low, top up wearing protective gloves.
Fill with petrol.

6.4.2. 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.
