8 Operations Manual Gladiator 1280
Batteries (Battery version)
Two dierent types of battery may be installed on these machines:
Flooded Lead Acid batteries: these require regular checks on electrolyte level. When necessary, top up with distilled water until the
plates are covered. Do not over-ll (5 mm max. above the plates).
AGM batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance. Battery technical characteristics must correspond to those listed in
the Technical characteristics section. The use of higher capacity batteries could seriously jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to
the drive motor overheating. Batteries with a lower capacity and weight will require charging more frequently. Batteries must be
kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be kept tight.
Batteries: preparation
! DANGER!: During battery installation and any type of battery maintenance, the operator must be provided with the necessary personal
protection devices (gloves, goggles overalls, etc.) to limit the risk of injury. Keep clear of naked ames, avoid short circuiting the battery
poles, avoid sparks and do not smoke.
Batteries are normally supplied lled with acid and ready for use. If the batteries are dry, proceed as follows before installing them
in the machine. Remove the caps and ll all elements with sulphuric acid solution specic for batteries until the plates are entirely
covered (this requires at least a couple of passes for each element). Leave the batteries stand for 4-5 hours to allow air bubbles to
come to the surface and the plates to absorb the electrolyte.
Make sure the level of electrolyte is still above the plates and if necessary top up with sulphuric acid solution. Close the caps. In-
stall the batteries in the machine (following the procedure described below). Charge the batteries before starting up the machine
for the rst time. Follow the instructions in the “Battery maintenance and charging” section.
Batteries: installation and connection
! DANGER! Check that all switches on the control panel are in the “0” (o) position. Make sure you connect the terminals marked with a
“+” to the positive poles of the battery. Do not check the battery charge by sparking. Meticulously follow the instructions given below as
short circuiting the batteries could cause them to explode.
Place the batteries in the battery compartment, orienting them as shown in the drawings (gs. 2 and 3). Referring to the cable
layout shown in the above diagram, connect the battery cables and bridge terminals to the battery poles. Arrange the cables as
shown in the diagram, tighten the terminals on the poles and coat with Vaseline. Lower the cowling into the working position
When using the machine, follow the instructions below.
! WARNING! Never allow the batteries to become excessively at as this could damage them irreparably.
Batteries: removal
! DANGER! When removing the batteries, the operator must be equipped with suitable personal protection devices (gloves, goggles,
overalls, safety shoes, etc.) to reduce the risk of injury. Make sure the switches on the control panel are in the “0” position (o) and the
machine is turned o. Keep away from naked ames, do not short circuit the battery poles, do not cause sparks and do not smoke. Pro-
ceed as follows.
• Disconnect the battery cables and bridge terminals from the battery poles.
• If necessary, remove the devices xing the battery to the base of the machine.
• Lift the batteries from the compartment using suitable lifting equipment.

Choosing a battery charger
Make sure the battery charger is compatible with the batteries to be charged.
Flooded Lead Acid batteries: an automatic charger is recommended. Consult the battery charger manufacturer and manual to
conrm the choice.
AGM batteries: use a charger specic for this type of battery.
Preparing the battery charger
If you wish to use a battery charger not provided with the machine, you must t it with the connector supplied with the machine.
Proceed as follows to t the connector. Remove about 13 mm of protective sheath from the red and black cables of the battery
charger. Insert the wires into the connector contacts and squeeze them forcefully with suitable pliers. Respect the polarity (red
wire + black wire –) when inserting the wires into the connector.
PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR THE OPERATOR
! WARNING: Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip and waterproof shoes, mask to protect the respiratory tract,
gloves and all other personal protection devices necessitated by the work environment. Do not leave the machine unattended or parked
with the key in the switch and the parking brake o. Do not use the machine to clean up wire, string, plastic straps, water or other liquids.
To avoid damaging the surface of the oor you are cleaning, avoid rotating the brushes with the machine stationary. Each 30 minutes of
work, press the lter shaker button for 30 seconds to clean the suction lter. During this operation, the suction fan shuts o automatically
(Battery and Dual Power versions). Avoid passing over puddles of water. If the oor is wet, you can still use the machine, but you must
turn o the suction fan since damp/wet dirt reduces the performance of the suction lter. For best results, empty the debris bin often and
use the lter shaker frequently to keep the lter clean.
! INFORMATION: If you are using the machine for the rst time, we recommend trying it out on a large obstacle-free surface rst to
acquire the necessary familiarity. When picking up large but light objects (e.g. paper, leaves, etc.) raise the aps. The machine is tted
with a driver detection device. It is only possible to start the machine while seated correctly in the driving seat. The device halts the
machine if you get up from the seat.
Preparing the machine for work
Proceed as follows before starting work:
• Check the battery charge level (and recharge if necessary).
• Make sure the debris bin is empty. If necessary, empty it.
