7. TYPE OF BATTERY

To power the machine it is necessary to use:

liquidelectrolyte lead traction batteries

sealed traction batteries with gasrecombination or gel technology
OTHER TYPES MUST NOT BE USED.
The batteries must meet the requisites laid out in standards CEI EN 60254-1:2005-12 (CEI 21-5) + CEI
EN 60254-2:2008-06 (CEI 21-7).
Every battery consists of DIN-type elements connected in series and providing the clamps with a power
of 6V. You are advised to use batteries with an electric capacity of 120Ah (C5)

8. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL

For maintenance and recharging, respect the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are
different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
When the battery reaches the end of its working life, it must be disconnected by expert, trained
personnel, then lifted (using the grips and suitable lifting devices) to remove it from the battery
compartment. EXHAUSTED BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS WASTE AND MUST
BE CONSIGNED TO THE AUTHORISED BODIES FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL.
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

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
