PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
If the machine is to remain unused for a long time, the squeegee and brushes (or drive
discs) must be dismounted, washed and kept in a dry place (preferably packed in a
plastic envelope or sheet), sheltered from dust. Park the machine with the small carriage
in the raised position.
Furthermore, make sure that the tanks are completely empty and perfectly clean.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply (depending on the model: unplug the
machine from the mains or disconnect the ANDERSON connector from the battery
wiring).
Models with battery: recharge the batteries completely before putting them in the
storehouse. During long periods of inactivity recharge the batteries (once every two
months at least) to preserve the storage batteries constantly at the maximum charge.
WARNING
If the batteries are not recharged periodically, they may become damaged
irreparably.
