transporting, take the same precautions and follow
the same instructions provided for the machine toge-

The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the same
precautions and follow the same instructions provi-

5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
5.1.1 MACHINE
We can summarise the machine's main features as
follows:
- The form of the squeegee, the air flows and the
specially designed rubber blades produce excellent
drying results even on tiled floors. Thanks to the par-
ticular balanced shape of the machine frame and the
squeegee support, no water residues are left behind
in a curve, and even when a smaller squeegee is used.
Excellent distribution of weights and dimensions
thanks also to the heavy weight of the brush plate and
batteries in the centre of the machine.
- A heavy weight on the brushes makes them work
efficiently on the floor. The pressure is generated by
the weight of the plate, without springs or additional
devices that lead to difficulties and inaccuracy. The
entire mass is generated by the hanging weight of a
15 mm steel ship's plate.
- A large volume of water in the tanks reduces dead
time since fewer trips are needed to collect water and
dump dirt. There is no delicate flexible diaphragm
that, at a technical level, is difficult to clean.
- The dirty water tank leaves several litres for decan-
ting any foam
- Robust construction. The frame and squegee are
made in extra thick plate and aluminium 6 mm, 8 mm,
10 mm up to 20 mm – are laser cut and welded. The
brush plate is made from 15 mm ship's sheet metal,
with a surface treatment that protects the plate and
the paint for thousands of hours in a saline fog. All
screws are made with stainless steel; the tanks (body)
are made with 7-8 mm thick shockproof polyethyle-
ne. Everything is simple and very strong, without any
other complicated designs.
- The battery compartment can house very large bat-
teries, which guarantees extended running time.
- The suction motor is housed inside the machine,
thus reducing operating noise to a minimum.
- The recovery tank is very easy to clean due to the lack
of the characteristic difficult access points of recovery
tanks located in a lower position.
5.1.2 BATTERY
Regardless of the type of construction, battery perfor-
mances are indicated with the term capacity, which
always refers to a discharge period. Another impor-
tant 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 the-
re'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 bat-
teries that differ in terms of their construction and
features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armoured modules: the
electrolyte level in each element must be periodically
checked!
• If one element is no longer covered by the acid
solution it will oxidise in 24 hours, thus permanen-
tly affecting that element's performance.
• Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical da-
mage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is mainte-
nance free and does not require special environments
for recharging (since it does not emit any harmful ga-
ses); therefore, it is highly recommended.
• It should not be taken for granted that batte-
ries 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 bat-
tery chargers) will safeguard the performances,
the service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
5.1.3 BATTERY CHARGER
This type of high-frequency battery charger efficiently
charges batteries, extending their operating and ser-
vice life. In addition, because they can be configured it
is a very versatile solution that reduces the number of
chargers required in the warehouse. The same battery
charger can be used for both Pb-Acid batteries and for
gel batteries.
The information indicated on the digital display can
be used to always keep the charging process, the bat-
tery and the battery charger under control (read the
specific manual for more details).
• It should not be taken for granted that batte-
ries 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 bat-
tery chargers) will safeguard the performances,
the service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
