9. INSERTING/CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

The machine may be supplied with batteries and a built-in battery charger.
If batteries other than those supplied with the machine are used, have the battery charger and battery
control card configuration checked by a qualified, COMAC-trained technician.
Perform a battery charging cycle before using the machine.
The batteries must be housed in the special compartment beneath the recovery tank.
To insert the batteries you must:
1. Lower the squeegee and base (see the appropriate chapter)
2. release the hinges (1) on the handlebars
3. Rotate the tank as far as it will go, using the side handle (2)
4. Lift the batteries by means of the grips on the upper part
5. house the batteries in the compartment, positioning the poles "+" and "-" opposite each other
6. connect the batteries in series - using the jumper cables supplied (3) - to the poles "+" and "-"
7. connect the battery connector cable (4) to the terminal poles "+" and "-" to obtain a voltage of 24V
on the clamps
ATTENTION: you are advised to use airtight batteries only, to avoid the
leakage of acids!

qualified, COMAC-trained technician
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands
ATTENTION: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting
and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size
ATTENTION: Connect the traction motor connector before fitting the batteries.
this process must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect
connection of the connector may cause problems with machine functioning.

10. RECHARGING THE BATTERIES WITH AN EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER (VERSIONS
WITHOUT BC)
In order not to cause permanent damage to the batteries it is essential to avoid their complete
discharge: arrange the recharge within a few minutes of the switching on of the flashing "discharged
batteries" signal.
NOTE: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not
being used. While recharging, keep the recovery tank raised, supporting it with the
cable, as shown in the figure. Check the battery charger is suitable for the batteries
installed, in terms of both capacity and type.
