MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES

To ensure that work is carried out in the best safety conditions, proceed as follows:

1.  Make sure the solution tank is empty. If it isn't, empty it (see “

EMPTYING THE SOLUTION 

TANK

”).

2.  Make sure the recovery tank is empty. If it isn't, empty it (see “

EMPTYING THE RECOVERY 

TANK

”).

3.  Using the DS selector on the control display (

Fig. 1

), select the “transfer” program” (1).

NB

: with this working program, both the brush head and the squeegee support are in the idle 

position (raised from the floor).

NB

: on the DS selector, the symbol of the transport program (1) is green (

Fig. 1

).

NB

: the grey symbols show working programs that are not active. the green symbols show 

working programs that are active.

4.  Set the main switch to “0” position by turning the key (2) to the left (

Fig. 2

). Remove the key from 

the instrument panel.

5.  Grip the handle (3) and raise the recovery tank to the maintenance position (

Fig. 3

).

6.  Disconnect the battery connector from the main machine system connector (

Fig. 4

).

7.  Grip the handle (3) and rotate the recovery tank to its working position (

Fig. 5

).

TYPE OF BATTERY TO BE USED

Power to the machine must be supplied by two sealed traction batteries with gas recombination or gel 

technology. The batteries must meet the requirements laid out in the norms: CEI EN 60254-1:2005-12 

(CEI 21-5) + CEI EN 60254-2:2008-06 (CEI 21-7). For the best work results, 

we suggest the use of 

two 12V MFP 112 Ah/C

5

 batteries

.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL

For battery maintenance and recharging, respect the instructions provided by the battery 

manufacturer. When the batteries reach the end of their service life, they must be disconnected by 

specialised and properly trained personnel, and must be subsequently removed from the battery 

compartment using suitable lifting devices.

NB

: dead batteries are classified as dangerous waste and as such must be delivered to an 

authorised body for disposal.

INSERTING THE BATTERIES IN THE MACHINE

The batteries must be housed in the relative compartment beneath the recovery tank. They should be 

handled using lifting equipment that is suitable in terms of both the weight and the coupling system.

DANGER

: make sure you comply with the accident prevention regulations in force in the 

country where you work or with DIN EN 50272-3 and DIN EN 50110-1, before any handling of 

the batteries.

CAUTION

: to prevent an accidental short circuit use insulated tools to connect the batteries, 

and do not place or drop metal objects on the battery. Remove rings, watches and any clothing 

with metal parts that may come into contact with the battery terminals.

The various phases for inserting the batteries in the battery compartment are as follows:

1.  Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “

MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES

”).

2.  Grip the handle (1) and raise the recovery tank to the maintenance position (

Fig. 1

).

3.  House the batteries in the compartment, positioning the poles “+” and “-” opposite each other 

(

Fig. 2

).

NB

: for battery maintenance and daily recharging, you must fully respect the indications 

provided by the manufacturer or retailer.

WARNING

: all installation and maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised 

personnel.

NB

: before installing the battery, clean the battery compartment. Check that the connectors on 

the cables supplied are functioning correctly.

WARNING

: check that the characteristics of the battery that you are looking to use are 

appropriate for the type of work to be performed. Check the battery charge and the condition of 

the contacts on the battery.

NB

: you are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting and transportation means 

suitable for the specific weight and size

WARNING

: the lifting hooks must not damage the blocks, connectors or cables.

WARNING

: before inserting the batteries, remember to cover the terminals with a little grease 

to protect them against external corrosion.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES TO THE MACHINE SYSTEM

The batteries should be connected so as to obtain a 

total voltage of 24V.

ATTENTION

: it is recommended that all 

installation and maintenance operations be 

carried out by expert personnel, trained at the 

specialised assistance centre.

CAUTION

: to prevent an accidental short circuit 

use insulated tools to connect the batteries, and 

do not place or drop metal objects on the battery. 

Remove rings, watches and any clothing with 

metal parts that may come into contact with the 

battery terminals.

The various phases for inserting the batteries in the battery compartment are as follows:

1. 

Using the supplied jumper cable (1), connect the batteries to the “+” and “-” poles in sequence.

2.  Connect the battery connector cable (2) to the “+” and “-” poles to obtain a voltage of 24V at the 

terminals.

3.  Connect the electric system connector (3) to the battery connector (2).

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

The batteries must be charged prior to first use, and whenever they no longer provide sufficient 

power.

ATTENTION

: to avoid any permanent damage to the batteries, it is essential to avoid their 

complete discharge; begin recharging them within a few minutes of noting the “discharged 

batteries” signal.

ATTENTION

: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the device is not being 

used.

1.  Bring the appliance to the area where the batteries are charged.

2.  Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “

MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES

”).

ATTENTION

: park the machine in an enclosed place, on a flat and level surface; near the 

machine there must be no objects that could either damage it, or be damaged through contact 

with it.

ATTENTION

: the room used to recharge the batteries must be adequately ventilated to prevent 

the accumulation of gases that leak from batteries.

3.  Grip the handle (1) on the right-hand side of the recovery tank (

Fig. 1

) and turn the tank as far as 

it will go, until it reaches the maintenance position.

ATTENTION

: the following operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect 

connection of the connector may cause a malfunction of the device.

NB

: carefully read the use and maintenance instructions of the battery charger used.

4.  Go to the back of the machine and remove the cap (2) from the battery charger socket (

Fig. 2

).

5.  Connect the battery charger power cable connector (3) to the battery charger socket (4) (

Fig. 3

).

CAUTION

: before connecting the batteries to the battery charger, make sure it is suitable for 

the batteries used.

WARNING

: before inserting the connector (3) in the socket (4), make sure there is no 

condensation or any other type of liquid.

NB

: the battery charger power cable is delivered inside the bag containing this instruction 

booklet.

6.  Plug the battery charger cable into the mains socket.

CAUTION

: keep the recovery tank open for the duration of the battery recharging cycle, to 

allow gas fumes to escape.

NB

: before connecting the battery charger to the mains socket, make sure the characteristics 

of the mains supply correspond to those required by the battery charger. Read the battery 

charger use and maintenance manual (included in the bag that contains this instruction 

booklet).

7.  When the recharge cycle is complete, disconnect the battery charger cable from the mains.

8.  Disconnect the battery charger power cable from the socket on the battery charger itself.

9.  Replace the cap (2) on the battery charger plug.

10.  Grip the handle (1) on the right-hand side of the recovery tank and turn the tank as far as it will 

go, until it reaches the maintenance position.
