charger when the machine is not being used.
If the machine is not used for ex tended time pe-
riods:
Charge the battery during the night after the last
work period, then disconnect the battery from the
battery charger.
Charge the battery during the night before using
the machine again.
Intermediate or incomplete charging while working
should be avoided.
If the machine is equipped with Pb-Acid batteries,
use a hydrometer to check the element liquid in-
tensity on a regular basis: if one or more elements
are discharged and the others fully charged, the
battery has been damaged and should be replaced
or repaired (refer to the battery service manual).
Close the element plugs and lower the top tank.
Hold the connectors with the hands; don't pull
them using the cables.
Reconnect the battery connector to the connector
on the machine.

The squeegee is the main component that ensures
perfect drying.
7.2.1
SQ UEEGEE ASSEMBLY
Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep
the body raised while completing connections.
Loosen the connection knobs on the squeegee sup-
port (Photo E - 3).
Insert the openings of the squeegee body in the
brackets of the oscillating support.
Fully tighten the squeegee knobs of the support
(Photo E - 3) in order to block the squeegee on
the support.
Firmly insert the machine suction hose into the
squeegee body (Photo E - 5).
7.2.2
SQ UEEGEE DISASSEMBLY
Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep
the body raised while completing connections.
Disconnect the suction hose from the squeegee
body (Photo E - 5).
Loosen the connections connection knobs on the
squeegee support (Photo E - 3).
Pull back the squeegee body to detach it from the
brackets of the oscillating support.

SQ UEEGEE BLADES DISASSEMBLY /
ASSEMBLY
Disassemble the squeegee from its support (see
7.2.2)
Unscrew the knobs ( Photo E - 6 ), remove the
bolts and the metal bar holders of the squeegee
blades. Remove the rubber blades from the squee-
gee body. To assemble the new blades, place the
metal bar holders on the front blade; place them
on the squeegee body and insert the bolts in the
holes of the squeegee body.
Place the rear blade on the squeegee body with the
the bolts in its holes; place the metal bar hol- ders
and block the blades screwing the fix ing knobs (
Photo E - 6 ).
It's normal that the rear strap has to be ex tended
to centre the connection screws. This will bring it
under the correct tension to avoid folds on the floor
and dry correctly.
7.2.4
The knob screw on the squeegee support (Photo
E - 4) adj ust the squeegee's inclination with respect
to the floor. The two screws on the sides, con-
nected to the rear wheels of the squeegee (Photo
E - 6), are to adj ust the pressure of the squeegee
to the floor.
When the squeegee is perfectly adj usted, the rear
squeegee blade, sliding as it moves, bends in all
points forming an angle of 45° with the floor.
As the machine operates (advances), it is possible
to operate on the inclination knob and pressure
AND ADJ UST -
screws ( Photo E - 4 ; Photo E - 6 ) to adj ust the
inclination and pressure of the squeegee blades on
the floor.
Squeegee drying must be uniform along the entire
drying line: damp patches mean that drying is in-
sufficient; turn the adj ustment knobs to optimise
drying.

SEMBLY
The splash guard is assembled to the brush plate
(Photo A-6) with a spring holder linked to the brush
plate itself. To disassemble the splash guard simply
detach the spring holder and pull the splash guard.
To reassemble, fix the splash guard in the brush
plate, and then hook the steel cable to one side of
the plate and the spring holder to the other side of
the brush plate.

ABRASIVE DISKS)
and abrasive disks are not perfectly installed.
Assembly:
Make sure that the brush plate is raised; otherwise
lift it by following the instructions provided in the
specific section.
Make sure that the ignition key on the control panel
is in position "0".
Bring the brushes (or the guide disks equipped
with abrasive disks) near the connections, under
the brush plate; lift them, bring them through the
centering flange, and turn them opposite the rota-
tion direction until you hear the stable "click" con-
nection.
