16. Mount the squeegee (see section "Mounting and adjusting the squeegee") (fig. G,
ref. 1).
17. Install the brush (see section "Mounting and changing the brush/abrasive disks")
The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to
another site or to a repair workshop.
Otherwise it must be disposed off in compliance with current legislation.

DANGER
Failure to observe these instructions could cause possibly serious damage to people
and things and invalidates the guarantee.
5.4.
Batteries
Two different types of battery may be installed on these machines:
•
wet batteries: the electrolyte level must be checked regularly. When necessary, top
up with distilled water until the plates are covered. Do not over fill (5 mm max. above
the plates).
•
AGM-gel batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.
The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the section on the
technical specification of the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously
jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor overheating. Batteries with a
lower capacity and weight will require recharging more frequently.
They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.
5.4.1. Batteries: preparation
!
DANGER
While installing or performing maintenance on the batteries, the operator must be
provided with the necessary personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, overalls,
etc) to limit the risk of accident. Keep away from naked flames, avoid short
circuiting the battery poles, avoid sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied filled with acid and ready for use.
If the batteries are dry, before mounting them on the machine, proceed as follows:
• remove the caps and fill all elements with specific sulphuric acid solution until the
plates are entirely covered (this requires at least a couple of passes for each element);
• leave for 4-5 hours to allow the air bubbles to come to the surface and the plates to
absorb the electrolyte;
• make sure the level of electrolyte is still above the plates and if necessary top up with
sulphuric acid solution;
• close the caps;
• mount the batteries on the machine (following the procedure described below).
Before starting up the machine for the first time, charge the batteries. Follow the
instructions in the relevant section.
5.4.2. Batteries: installation and connection
!
DANGER
Check that all switches on the control panel are in the "0" (off) position.
Make sure you connect the terminal marked with a "+" to the positive pole of the
battery. Do not check the battery charge by sparking.
Meticulously follow the instructions given below as short circuiting the batteries
could cause them to explode.
