Cleaning The Diverter Valve; Cleaning The Squeegee; Squeegee Adjustment - IPC CT5 LAVAMATIC Manual De Instrucciones

Cleaning the diverter valve

This procedure should take place in an area suitable for servicing
operations, as the floor will become dirty and wet.
Wear overalls, non-slip shoes, gloves and all other items of PPE
appropriate for the work environment.
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the floor, referring to the section "Emptying the water/detergent
tank" and "Emptying the dirty water tank".
• Detach the front squeegee suction hose from the diverter valve.
• Detach the rear squeegee suction hose from the diverter valve.
• Release the retaining lever (fig. 35, ref. 1) and remove the cover of
the diverter valve.
• Clean the chamber of the valve (fig. 36, ref. 1), removing any
encrustations, and rinse with clean water; wipe the seals of the
cover with a soft cloth.
Do not clean seals with ethyl alcohol.

Cleaning the squeegee

• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the floor, referring to the section "Emptying the water/detergent
tank" and "Emptying the dirty water tank".
• Pull the handle up perpendicular to the machine.
• Tilt the machine backwards and rest the handle on the floor.
• Clean the blades of both squeegees with a moist cloth (fig. 37,
ref. 1).
• Clean the suction inlet port of both squeegees (fig. 37, ref. 2).

Squeegee adjustment

The squeegee is factory-adjusted to give an optimum drying action on
different types of floor surface, but in the event that results do not meet
expectations, there are further adjustments that can be made.
To ensure a faultless drying action, the lip of the squeegee blade should
deflect 45° along its entire length, relative to the floor surface; the height
of the squeegee can be adjusted by raising or lowering the wheels (fig.
38, ref. 1).
Replacing the squeegee blades
The squeegee blades collect the film of water and detergent from the
floor and prepare the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant
wiping action causes the edge of the blade in contact with the floor to
become rounded and cracked, with the result that drying is less thorough
and the blade must be replaced. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the floor, referring to the section "Emptying the water/detergent
tank" and "Emptying the dirty water tank".
