Inserting The Batteries Into The Machine; Connecting The Batteries To The Machine's Electrical System; Recharging The Batteries - COMAC Innova Comfort Use And Maintenance Manual

INSERTING THE BATTERIES INTO THE MACHINE

The batteries must be housed in the relative compartment inside the machine, and must be handled using lifting equipment that is suitable in terms
of both weight and coupling system.
ATTENTION: It is recommended to wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), suitable for the work to be carried out.
ATTENTION: 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. Carry out the steps necessary to secure the machine (see paragraph "MACHINE SAFETY" on page 15).
2. Unhook the tank rotation stop lever (8) (Fig.9) and turn the recovery tank to its maintenance position (Fig.10).
N.B.: for battery maintenance and daily recharging, you must fully respect the indications provided by the manufacturer or retailer.
ATTENTION: all installation and maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised personnel.
N.B.: before installing the battery, clean the battery compartment.
N.B.: Check that the connectors on the cables supplied are functioning correctly.
ATTENTION: check that the characteristics of the battery that you are looking to use are appropriate for the type of work to be performed.
ATTENTION: Check the battery charge and the condition of the contacts on the battery.
N.B.: you are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size
ATTENTION: the lifting hooks must not damage the blocks, connectors or cables.
N.B.: Before inserting the batteries into the machine, remember to cover the terminals with a little grease to protect them against external
corrosion.
3. House the batteries in the compartment, positioning the poles "+" and "-" opposite each other.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES TO THE MACHINE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

N.B.: The batteries should be connected so as to obtain a total voltage of 24V.
ATTENTION: It is recommended that the electrical connection operations be carried out by specialised and trained personnel.
ATTENTION: 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, connect the batteries to the "+" and "-" poles in series.
2. Connect the battery connector cable to the "+" and "-" poles in order to obtain the terminal voltage of 24V.
3. Connect the battery connector to the electrical system connector.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

The batteries must be charged prior to first use, and whenever they no longer provide sufficient power.
ATTENTION: If the control board and battery charger are fitted, they are set for lead-acid batteries. Contact your nearest COMAC
assistance centre to modify the setting if you want to use gel batteries.
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 machine is not being used.
1. Bring the machine to the battery recharging area.
2. Carry out the steps necessary to secure the machine, see paragraph "MACHINE SAFETY" on page 15.
