Take the same precautions and follow the same in-
structions to remove the optional battery charger
from the packing (holding the special handles to ex-
tract it from the top of the packing) and the op-
tional battery.
After moving the machine away from all the pack-
ing, start mounting the accessories and the batter-
ies as per the instructions provided in the specific
section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might
be useful in the future to protect the machine and
the accessories during transport to another location
or to authorized service centers. If not, the packing
can be disposed in accordance with current disposal
laws.
4.4 LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHINE,
BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
!
( ) Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine.
There are no places on the frame that can be used
to lift the machine directly.
Before preparing the packing and transporting the
machine:
- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent solu-
tion tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or
scrapers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an
equivalent one that can bear the weight and is big
enough for the machine's overall dimensions) using
an inclined surface.
Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to
the pallet using metallic brackets or other elements
that can bear the weight of the parts.
Lift the pallet with the machine and load it on the
transport vehicle.
Secure the machine and the pallet using ropes con-
nected to the transport vehicle.
As an alternative, when using private transport ve-
hicles, use inclined ramps to push the machine
without the pallet, making sure to protect all parts
and the machine itself against violent impacts, hu-
midity, vibrations and accidental movements dur-
ing transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be
hooked for handling.
☞
( ) To lift or insert the battery (into the machine
compartment), use only suitable personnel and
equipment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the opera-
tion and to bear the weight of the loads involved.
When transporting, take the same precautions and
follow the same instructions provided for the ma-
chine together with those in the special manufac-
turer's manual.
The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the
same precautions and follow the same instructions
provided for the machine together with those in the
special manufacturer's manual.

5. INSTALLATION INFORMATION

5.1. BATTERY

Regardless of the type of construction, battery per-
formances are indicated with the term capacity,
which always refers to a discharge period. Another
important value is the number of possible dis-
charges. The capacity is expressed in amps per
hour (Ah), while the discharge period is generally
indicated as 20 hours (C20 or 20h, or not expressly
indicated) or 5
discharge/charge cycles indicate the number of
times that the battery can hold a charge under the
best conditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery
service life complying with all the necessary meas-
ures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depend-
ing on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why
there's such a variation in the capacity values ex-
pressed as C5 or C20. These factors must be taken
into account when comparing products available on
the market with our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of
batteries that differ in terms of their construction
and features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armored modules:
the electrolyte level in each element must be peri-
odically checked!
!
( ) If one element is no longer covered by
the acid solution it will oxidize in 24 hours,
thus permanently affecting that element's
performance.

( ) Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical
damage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is main-
tenance free and does not require special environ-
ments for recharging (since it does not emit any
harmful gases); therefore, it is highly recom-
mended.
!
( ) It should not be taken for granted that
batteries and battery chargers with the same
technical features as those we offer will pro-
duce the same results. Only perfect compat-
ibility between these elements (Pb-Acid
batteries, gel batteries and battery chargers)
will safeguard the performances, the service
life, the safety and the economic value in-
vested.

5.1.2 BATTERY PREPARATION

!
( ) The technical features of the batteries used
must match those indicated in the technical fea-
tures section. Using different batteries may cause
serious damage to the machine or may require
them to be charged more frequently.

( ) During installation or when performing any
type of battery maintenance, the operator must be
equipped with adequate safety accessories to pre-
vent accidents. Work far from open flames, do not
short-circuit the battery poles, do not generate
31
hours (C5 or 5h). The
