LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHI-
NE, 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 solution
tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or pad
drivers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an equiva-
lent one that can bear the weight and is big enough
for the machine's overall dimensions) using an in-
clined 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 vehi-
cles, use inclined ramps to push the machine without
the pallet, making sure to protect all parts and the
machine itself against violent impacts, humidity, vi-
brations and accidental movements during transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be
hooked for handling.
• To lift or insert the battery (into the machine com-
partment), use only suitable personnel and equip-
ment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the operation and
to bear the weight of the loads involved. When trans-
porting, take the same precautions and follow the
same instructions provided for the machine together
with those in the special manufacturer'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 pro-
vided for the machine together with those in the spe-
cial manufacturer's manual.
5. TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
5.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
5.2
BATTERIES
Regardless of the type of construction, battery perfor-
mances are indicated with the term capacity, which
always refers to a discharge period. Another impor-
tant value is the number of possible discharges. 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 hours
(C5 or 5h). The 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
measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depending
on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why there's
such a variation in the capacity values expressed as
C5 or C20. These factors must be taken into account
when comparing products available on the market
with our own.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is mainte-
nance free and does not require special environments
for recharging (since it does not emit any harmful
gases); therefore, it is highly recommended.
• It should not be taken for granted that batteries
and battery chargers with the same technical features
as those we offer will produce the same results. Only
perfect compatibility between these elements (gel
batteries and battery chargers) will safeguard the
performances, the service life, the safety and the eco-
nomic value invested.
5.3
BATTERY CHARGER
This type of high-frequency battery charger efficiently
charges batteries, extending their operating and ser-
vice life. In addition, because they can be configured.
• It should not be taken for granted that batteries
and battery chargers with the same technical features
as those we offer will produce the same results. Only
perfect compatibility between these elements (gel
batteries and battery chargers) will safeguard the
performances, the service life, the safety and the eco-
nomic value invested.
