PREPARATION FOR USE

The machine may now be run for trial purposes
but before putting it into service the batteries
should be charged to bring them up to their
maximum capacity.
New batteries will gradually “run in” and
increase in capacity to a maximum in about the
first 10 charge/discharge cycles.
If necessary the batteries should
be charged using an appropriate
battery charger. Remove the
battery caps during the charging
operation.
Check that the Hertz and Voltage
readings of the mains supply
correspond to those of the battery
charger.

BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE IS CARRIED
OUT THE BATTERY MUST BE UNPLUGGED
OR THE MAINS LEAD UNPLUGGED.
Periodically unscrew the filter inside the scrubbing
detergent tank, scrub whit a stiff brush under
running water to remove any accumulated foreign
matter.
Note: for the models 345-355 it is enough to pull
the filter to remove it. Press the filter to mount it.
For the battery operated models, the level of the
liquid inside batteries must be checked
periodically, and topped up with distilled water
if necessary.
Raise the bonnet, uncover the battery
compartment, remove caps and check level.
Special care should be taken
when handling battery liquid
as it is corrosive. If it should
come into contact with skin
or eyes, wash abundantly
with water and consult a
doctor.
Recharge batteries when necessary with an
appropriate battery charger.
