kits as spare parts.
☞ Before each use, check the machine and, in particular,
check that the battery charging cable and the connector
are in good condition and safe for use. If they are not in
perfect condition, do not use the machine for any reason
until an authorised specialist repairs the defective parts.
☞ If foam or liquid is noted, immediately turn off the suc-
tion motor.
☞ Do not use the machine on textile flooring, such as
rugs, carpeting, etc.
Wax, foaming detergents or dispersions along the hoses
may cause serious problems for the machine or clog the
hoses.

4. HANDLING INFORMATION
4.1
PACKING LIFTING AND TRANSPORT
• During all lifting or transport operations, make sure
that the packed machine is securely anchored to prevent
it from tipping over or falling accidentally.
Transport vehicle loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with adequate lighting.
The packed machine must be handled using adequate
devices, making sure not to damage/strike any part of the
packing, not to tip it over and to be very careful when
placing it on the ground.
☞ All these instructions also apply to the batteries and
the battery charger.
4.2
CHECKS UPON DELIVERY
☞ When the goods are delivered (machine, battery or
battery charger) by the transporter, carefully check the
condition of the packing and its contents. If the contents
have been damaged, notify the transporter and reserve
the right, in writing (select the word "reserve" on the
document), to submit a claim for compensation before
accepting the goods.
4.3
UNPACKING
• Wear safety clothing and use adequate tools to limit
the risks of accidents.
Carry out the following steps if the machine is packed
with a cardboard housing:
- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the plastic
straps.
- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the
packed machine.
- Remove the envelops inside and check their contents
(use and maintenance manual, battery charger connec-
tor)
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that se-
cure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the pack-
ing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it backward)
by using an inclined surface that is solidly attached to the
floor and to the pallet.
If the machine is packed in a wooden crate:
- Detach all the wooden sides from the pallet, starting
from the top one.
- Remove the protective film wrapped around the ma-
chine.
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that se-
cure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the pack-
ing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it backward)
by using an inclined surface that is solidly attached to the
floor and to the pallet.
Take the same precautions and follow the same instruc-
tions to remove the optional battery charger from the
packing (holding the special handles to extract it from
the top of the packing) and the optional battery.
After moving the machine away from all the packing,
start mounting the accessories and the batteries as per
the instructions provided in the specific section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might be
useful in the future to protect the machine and the acces-
sories during transport to another location or to author-
ised service centres. If not, the packing can be disposed
in accordance with current disposal laws.
4.4
UNBLOCKING THE ELECTROMECHANICAL
BRAKE
• When the machine is switched off or without batter-
ies the electromechanical brake is blocking the ma-
chine and it is not possible to move it.
To unblock the electromechanical brake it is necessary to
operate on the traction motor placed on the rear wheel
axle (Photo L) following the procedure mentioned here
below:
- Pull the unblocking lever (Photo L - 1) outwards
- Rotate the lever downwards and block the lever on the
pin placed on the motor in order that the lever will be fixed
in the outer position (Photo L - 2).
The mechanical brake is now unlocked and it is now
possible to move the machine.
Once the machine have been moved, it is necessary to
carry out the same procedure on the contrary in order
to replace the lever in the machine working position (
Photo L - 1 ).
• WARNING: Before using the machine be sure that
the unblocking lever is in the machine working posi-
tion ( Photo L - 1 ).
4.5
LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHINE, BAT-
TERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
• Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine. There are
no places on the frame that can be used to lift the ma-
chine directly.
Before preparing the packing and transporting the ma-
chine:
- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent solution
tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or pad driv-
