BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETTING
OF THE BATTERY TYPE
The machine is equipped either with bat-
teries in serial connection or elements of
DIN-type assembled together and connect-
ed in series for a total of 36 Volt, placed
in its appropriate compartment under the
seat platform and must be handled using
suitable lifting equipment (due to weight,
considering the type of batteries chosen,
and coupling system).
The batteries must be in accordance with
CEI 21-5 Norms.
The machine and its battery check card
are factory set for the use of traditional
lead batteries.
CHECK THE SETTING OF THE CHECK
CARD (see under paragraph "BATTERIES
CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR").
In case of GEL batteries installation, it is
necessary to set the battery check card.
Please contact the authorized technical
assistance.
Strictly follow manufacturer/distributor
indications for the maintenance and re-
charge of the batteries. All installation and
maintenance operations must be executed
by specialized staff, using suitable protec-
tion accessories.
For batteries installation it is necessary to
reach the battery compartment as indi-
cated under paragraph "ACCESS TO THE
BATTERY COMPARTMENT".
1. Place the batteries in its compartment.
2. Connect the terminals, respecting the
polarities, avoiding contact with other
parts that could create short circuit.

ASSEMBLING OF THE ROLLBAR

For packing reasons the support of the
blinking light is supplied disassembled.
Proceed as follows:
1. Take off the four fixing screws (1) from
the rollbar.
2. Place the rollbar into their seats (2) on
the tank.
3. Fasten the screws passing them in the
same order in their holes foreseen on the
support.
4. Complete the assembly connecting the
connectors (3) to supply the blinking light
and the working lights (optional).
BATTERY CHARGER
Make sure that the battery charger is
suitable for the installed batteries both
for their capacities and type (lead/acid
or GEL and equivalent).
In the plastic bag containing the use and
maintenance you will find the coupling
connector for the charger. It must be as-
sembled onto the cables of your charger,
following the instructions given by the
manufacturer.
This operation must be carried out by
qualified staff. A wrong or faulty cable
connection can cause serious damages to
persons or equipment.

BATTERIES RECHARGING

1. Plug the connector (3) of the battery
charger into the battery connector.
2. Proceed with the charging.
Never charge a GEL battery with a non
suitable charger. Strictly follow the in-
structions supplied by the batteries and
charger manufacturer.
In order not to cause permanent damages
to the batteries, it is necessary to avoid
their complete discharge, providing for the
charging within a few minutes after the bat-
teries discharge signal starts blinking.

NOTE: Never leave the batteries com-
pletely discharged even if the machine is
not used. In case of traditional batteries,
please check the electrolyte level every 20
charging cycles and eventually top them
up with distilled water. Never leave the
batteries discharged for more than two
weeks.
Danger of gas exhalations and emission
of corrosive liquids. Fire danger: do not
approach with free flames.

BATTERIES DISPOSAL

It is compulsory to hand over exhausted
batteries, classified as dangerous waste,
to an authorized institution according to
the current laws.
CONNECTION BATTERY CONNECTOR
AND SWITCHING ON OF THE MACHINE
Once the battery recharging has been
completed:
1. Disconnect the connector of the battery
charger from the battery connector (1).
2. Connect then the battery connector (1)
to the machine connector (2).
To start any function of the machine, it is
necessary to rotate the key switch clock-
wise (5). Rotating it counterclockwise and
any function will be switched off.
BATTERIES CHARGE LEVEL
When the machine is switched on, on the
display (1) appear in order the following
information:
1. the version (for example A003) of soft-
ware installed on the machine.
2. the setting of the battery check card
which can be:
GE 36: check card set for GEL batteries.
or
Pb 36: check card set for lead batteries.
