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 con-
tact 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 suc-
tion 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 straps, fol-
low the instructions in the relative section. Turn the straps
around to wear down the other sharp corners or to install
new ones.
8.4
ACCESSORIES
Remove and clean the brushes or the scraper disks.
• To avoid damaging the floor and the machine, care-
fully 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 sur-
face (check for any irregular wear on the brushes or on
the abrasive disks). If necessary, adjust the slant of the ac-
tion on the floor. Use only the accessories recommended
by the manufacturer: other products may reduce operat-
ing safety.
8.5
CLEANING SOLUTION FILTER
Make sure that the detergent solution tank is empty.
Check and clean the solution filter located in the lower
front part of the machine. Clean with running water if
necessary and check that the detergent solution is being
delivered on the brushes.
Fully tighten the filter to prevent leaks during operation.
8.6
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. Steam machines can be used but it's prohib-
ited to use hoses with running water or a high-pressure
cleaner.

BATTERIES
8.7.1
PB-ACID
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and with all the other instruc-
tions provided in this manual.
Exposing the element plates (not completely immersed
in the acid solution) will lead to rapid oxidation and ir-
reparably 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.
8.7.2
GEL
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and with all the other instruc-
tions provided in this manual.
Use only those battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer.
8.8
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
For all the operations described in the following sched-
uled maintenance table, refer to the instructions and de-
tailed warnings in the relative sections.
8.9
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
You'll always be able to use your machine as efficiently
as possible by maintaining a stock of the most common
consumable materials and by scheduling routine and ex-
traordinary maintenance. Contact your dealer for a list of
these spare parts. 9. OPERATING CHECKS
