5. INSTALLATION INFORMATION 5.1. BATTERY
Regardless of the type of construction, battery performances are indicated with the term capacity, which always refers to a discharge period. Another important value is the number of possible discharges. The capacity is expressed in amps per hour (Ah), while the discharge period is generally indicated as 20 hours (C20 or 20h, or not expressly indicated) or 5 hours (C5 or 5h). The discharge/charge cycles indicate the number of times that the battery can hold a charge under the best conditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery service life complying with all the necessary measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depending on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why there's such a variation in the capacity values expressed as C5 or C20. These factors must be taken into account when comparing products available on the market with our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of batteries that differ in terms of their construction and features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armored modules: the electrolyte level in each element must be periodically checked!
(!) If one element is no longer covered by the acid solution it will oxidize in 24 hours, thus permanently affecting that element's performance.
(✗) Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical damage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is maintenance free and does not require special environments for recharging (since it does not emit any harmful gases); therefore, it is highly recommended.
(!) It should not be taken for granted that batteries and battery chargers with the same technical features as those we offer will produce the same results. Only perfect compatibility between these elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and battery chargers) will safeguard the performances, the service life, the safety and the economic value invested.
5.1.2 BATTERY PREPARATION
(!) The technical features of the batteries used must match those indicated in the technical features section. Using different batteries may cause serious damage to the machine or may require them to be charged more frequently.
(✗) During installation or when performing any type of battery maintenance, the operator must be equipped with adequate safety accessories to prevent accidents. Work far from open flames, do not short-circuit the battery poles, do not generate
sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied full of acid solution (for the Pb-Acid type) and ready for use. In any case, follow the steps indicated in the manual supplied with the battery and carefully follow the instructions regarding safety and operating procedures.
5.1.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION
To insert batteries in the battery compartment (Photo I - 2) it is necessary to lower the brush plate to the floor.
To access to the battery compartment, pull the opening lever (Photo H - 1) and lift the recovery tank (Photo O - 3).
Detach the spring clip (Photo I - 1) placed on the lifting cable of the brush plate.
Place the batteries in the battery compartment (Photo I - 2) checking that they are in perfect conditions.
5.1.4 BATTERY CONNECTION
(!) These operations must be carried out by specialized personnel.
Install and charge the batteries in a dry ventilated place, far from sources of heat and corrosive substances. Make sure that the voltage between the batteries and the battery charger corresponds. Protect the circuit with a delay switch or a fuse with a higher charge than the maximum absorption of the battery charger. Comply with the polarity of the battery plug.
Disconnect the Anderson connector of the battery wiring from the Anderson connector of the machine wiring (Photo D - 7) (Photo F - 8). Always hold the connectors with the hands and never pull on the cables.
Photo G show connection diagram of the batteries for B - BT machines.
(✗) Attach the battery wiring to the battery, connecting the terminals only on the poles marked with the same symbol (red wiring "+", black wiring "-")!
A battery short-circuit may cause an explosion!
After checking that all the controls on the panel are in position "0" or at rest, connect the battery connector to the machine connector.
(!) Close the battery compartment making sure not to crush any wires.

6.10 FILLING AND DRAINING THE SOLUTION TANK
( ) The temperature of the water or the detergent should never exceed 50°C.
( )Always empty the recovery tank ( Photo O - 4) before filling the solution tank ( Photo O - 3).
To fill the tank:
- Pour into the tank the required quantity of the chemical product, considering the percentage indicated by the supplier, with reference to the full tank capacity listed on the product sheet.
(!) Use only those products suitable for the floor and the dirt to be removed.
- Pour water in the filling opening placed in the front of the machine (Photo H - 2, O - 2).
Leave 2 cm between the filling opening and the liquid level. Do not fill beyond this point!
(✗) The machine was designed to be used with non-foaming and biodegradable detergents made specifically for scrubber-driers.
The use of other chemical products (such as sodium hypochlorite, oxidizers, solvents or
hydrocarbons) may damage or destroy the machine.
- Follow the safety regulations specified in the relative section and indicated on the detergent container.
- Contact the machine manufacturer to obtain a complete list of available and suitable detergents.
- Do not leave the water hose unattended and insert it completely into the tank: the hose might move and get sensitive parts of the machine wet. Close the tank with its foam plug.
To drain the tank:
- Unscrew and remove the transparent cap of filter /regulator of the cleaning solution placed in the bottom of the tank (Photo Q - 1) and wait for the complete emptying.
- After draining, replace and tighten the cap.
6.10.1 ADJUSTING THE OUTFLOW OF THE CLEANING SOLUTION
The solution water filter (Photo Q - 1) also has the function as a regulator of the flow of the cleaning solution; screwing the transparent cover increases the amount of flow, while unscrewing the lid reduces the flow.
6.11 DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK
The dirty water must be drained in accordance with national regulations.
The user is completely responsible for ensuring compliance with such rules.
After the detergent solution is finished, always empty the recovery tank (Photo O - 3) before filling it again.
In general, the recovery tank can be emptied whenever required, and even during intermediate phases of the work cycle.
The recovery tank volume is higher than the detergent solution volume, therefore a potentially dangerous situation for the suction motor should never occur. In any case, a safety float (Photo P - 1) will stop the suction if the dirty liquid level is too high.
(✗) If water or foam starts leaking from under the tanks for any reason, immediately turn off the suction motor and empty the recovery tank.
To drain the tank:
Drive the machine to a suitable location to drain the dirty water and preferably near a toilet or a sewer drain (comply with the national regulations for waste water disposal).
Turn off the machine and remove the key from the panel.
Detach the drain hose from the holder (Photo B - 5, D - 6, F - 7) and, keeping it high, unscrew the plug.

(!) The batteries may be irreparably damaged if the residual charge level drops too low (see the battery operating manual). Do not force the battery discharge beyond the safety limits, turning the key off and on or in any other manner.
6.14.3 DIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR SLIGHTLY DIRTY SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in a single pass.
Prepare the machine as previously described and use it as described in paragraph 6.13.
(✗) Never use the machine without the detergent solution: the floor might be damaged.
6.14.4 INDIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR VERY DIRTY SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in various passes.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
First set of operations:
Wash the floor as described in paragraph 6.13, without drying the floor
Allow the detergent solution to work on the dirty floor according to what is indicated in the information relative to the detergent used.
Second set of operations:
Proceed as explained in the previous "Direct Washing" paragraph (6.14.3) to also proceed with drying the floor.
(☑) Never use the machine without the detergent solution: the floor might be damaged.
6.14.5 POST-SCRUBBING OPERATIONS
Close the detergent solution outlet.
Lift the brush unit and turn off the brush motor.
After having completely dried any traces of water on the surface, wait a few seconds and then lift the squeegee and turn off the suction motor.
Move to a suitable location to drain the tanks; empty and clean the tanks (as described in 6.11).
Turn off the machine using the key and remove it from the control panel.
If necessary, charge the battery (see the relative section).
7. MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
(✗) Turn the key, remove it from the control panel and disconnect the battery from the machine wiring.
(☑) All work on the electrical system as well as all maintenance and repair operations (especially those not explicitly described in this manual) should be carried out only by authorized service centers or by specialized technical personnel who are experts in the sector and in the pertinent safety regulations.
Performing regular maintenance on the machine, and carefully following the manufacturer's instructions, is the best guarantee for obtaining the best performances and extended machine service life.
7.1 TANKS
Drain the two tanks as described in the relative sections.
Remove any solid dirt by filling and draining the tanks until all dirt has been eliminated: use a washing hose or similar tool to do this.
(!) Water hotter than 50°, a high-pressure cleaner or excessively powerful sprays may damage the tanks and the machine.
Leave the plugs of the tanks open (only while the machine is not being used) so that they can dry and thus prevent the formation of foul odors.
7.2 SUCTION HOSE
Detach the suction hose from the squeegee (Photo N - 3).
Now you can wash the hose and remove any obstructions.
Firmly insert the hose on the squeegee body.
7.3 SQUEEGEE
(!) Do not handle the squeegee with bare hands: wear gloves and any safety clothing needed to carry out the operation.
Detach the squeegee from the machine and clean it under running water using a sponge or a brush.
Check the efficiency and the wear on the strips in contact with the floor. They are designed to scrape the film of detergent and water on the floor and to isolate that portion of the surface to enhance the vacuum of the suction motor: this ensures that the machine will dry very efficiently. Working constantly in this manner tends to round or to deteriorate the sharp edge of the strip, thus reducing drying efficiently. This is why the squeegee strips must be replaced.
To replace the worn blades, follow the instructions in the relative section. Turn the blades around to wear down the other sharp corners or to install new ones.
7.4 ACCESSORIES
Remove and clean the brushes or the scraper disks. (!) To avoid damaging the floor and the machine, carefully check if foreign matter, such as metallic parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, has become jammed.
Check that the brushes are flat as they work on the surface (check for any irregular wear on the brushes or on the abrasive disks). If necessary, adjust the slant of the action on the floor.
Use only the accessories recommended by the manufacturer: other products may reduce operating safety.
7.5 MACHINE BODY
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the machine and, if necessary, a soft brush to eliminate tough dirt. The machine's shockproof surface is rough to make it harder to see scratches caused during use. However, this does not make it easier to remove tough stains on the surface. It is prohibited to use steam machines, hoses with running water and high-pressure cleaners.
7.6 BATTERIES
PB-Acid batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and with all the
other instructions provided in this manual.
Exposing the element plates (not completely immersed in the acid solution) will lead to rapid oxidation and irreparably reduce the element's operating capacities.
An overflowing acid solution may corrode the machine.
Use battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer and, in any case, those that are suitable for the type of battery to be charged.
Always charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms: there is an explosion risk!
The use of gel or maintenance-free batteries is highly recommended.
GEL batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and with all the other instructions provided in this manual.
Use only those battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer.
7.7 THERMAL BREAKERS
The machine is equipped with electric protection devices on the main operating components to avoid costly malfunctions.
Thermal breakers are installed to protect the drive motor wherever foreseen and the brush motor.
When one of these breakers trips automatically, the disabled function can be reactivated by fully depressing the button of the breaker.
When the thermal breakers trip, especially when the machine is used during the first few weeks, it might not be caused by actual machine malfunctions. However, a specialized technician should check the device if the relative breaker continues to trip.
7.8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
For all the operations described herein, refer to the instructions and detailed warnings in the relative sections.
7.8.1 DAILY OPERATIONS
Disassemble and check the brush or the pad driver disk (with the abrasive disks mounted).
Check that there are no foreign bodies that may impede the movement or efficiency of all cleaning parts.
Check the squeegee: clean the blades and check their condition/wear.
If Pb-Acid batteries are used, carefully carry out the operations described by the battery manufacturer. Charge the batteries.
7.8.2 WEEKLY OPERATIONS
Check and, if necessary, replace the splash guard. Carefully check the profile of the squeegee blades and replace them, if necessary.
Check that the suction hoses and conduits are not clogged;
Thoroughly clean the solution and recovery tanks. For other models with the Pb-Acid battery: check the level of the electrolyte in all elements and, if necessary, top up with distilled water. Refer to the battery manufacturer's detailed instructions.
Lift the filter compartment cover and check under the impermeable sponge filter for any signs of liquid; if there is any, drain it off into the dirty water tank.
7.8.3 OPERATIONS AT EXTENDED INTERVALS
Even though the machine was built with great precision and conforms to the most severe quality tests, the electrical and mechanical parts will inevitably be subjected to wear and aging after extended periods of use.
For safe and problem-free operation, your machine should be carefully checked every year by our authorized technical service centre (or by a specialist in the sector familiar with all the pertinent safety regulations contained in this manual).
This type of work may have to be carried out more frequently if the machine operates in particular/difficult situations and/or if required maintenance was not performed.
7.9 RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
