ATTENTION:
The handling of the brushes operation must be car-
ried out using suitable gloves to protect both me-
chanically from contact with the bristles and the
chemical risk of contact with dangerous solutions.
ATTENTION:
Use only the brush supplied with the machine or the
ones indicated in the paragraph "RECOMMENDED
BRUSHES". The use of other brushes can compromise
security.
RECOVERY TANK
Check that the cover of the suction filter (17) is cor-
rectly secured, after rotating the levers and that the
suction motor hose (A) is correctly connected.
Verify also that the squeegee hose is correctly in-
serted into the seats (16 and B) and that the exhaust
hose plug (15) placed in the front part of the ma-
chine, is closed.
DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK
The capacity of the detergent solution tank is indi-
cated in the technical data.
Open the screw plug (13) placed in the rear left part
of the machine and fill the detergent solution tank
with clean water at a maximum temperature of 50°C.
Add the liquid detergent in the percentage and con-
ditions foreseen by the manufacturer. To avoid ex-
cessive foam presence, which could cause problems
to the suction motor, use the minimum percentage
of detergent. Screw down the plug to close the tank.
ATTENTION:
Use always low foam detergent. To avoid foam pres-
ence, before starting working operation, introduce
into the recovery tank a minimum quantity of anti-
foam product.
Never use pure acid.
FLOOR CLEANING
STARTING OF THE MACHINE
The machine is equipped with a mains cable com-
plete with a plug for the connection to the mains
system and with a socket connector to insert inside
the plug (20) situated underneath the instrument
board.
1. Insert the socket inside the machine plug (20).
2. Hook the cable onto the support (21) to avoid
that probable tears can damage the socket.
3. Insert the plug into the appropriate mains socket
and check that on the instrument board the signal
lamp for tension presence comes on (3).
4. For machines equipped with key switch (see un-
der "OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES"), turn the key (6)
clockwise to switch on the machine, counterclock-
wise to switch it off.
5. Press the brush motor switch (1).
6. Press the switch of the suction motor (2) and this
will start to function.
7. Acting upon the solution valve knob (9) adjust
the solution detergent quantity bringing the floor
uniformly wet, avoiding the leakage of detergent
from the splash guards. Always consider that the
correct quantity of solution detergent depends on
type of floor, dirtiness and machine speed.
8. The machine is equipped with solenoid valve and
the flow of detergent solution will be activated
automatically, once the solution valve has been
opened through the knob (9), acting upon the levers
presence (7). On the instrument board the signal
lamp of the open solenoid valve will come on (4). Re-
leasing these levers, flow will stop automatically.
9. Acting upon the squeegee lifting lever (8) lower
the squeegee.
10. Activating the levers (7), the brush will start ro-
tating transferring to the machine a forward move-
ment. The squeegee will start drying the floor.
11. During the first meters check that the detergent
solution flow is appropriate and that the squeegee
adjustment guarantees a perfect drying action.

BRUSH MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION DEVICE
The machine is equipped with a protection device (5)
that intervenes in case of an overload of the brush
motor disconnecting the motor. If the protection de-
vice intervenes again and often, contact the author-
ized technical assistance.
ATTENTION:
To reset the brush motor, turn off the brush mo-
tor switch (1) for a few minutes and turn it on
again, rearm the push button of the protection
device (5).
OVERFLOW DEVICE
In order to avoid serious damages to the suction mo-
tor, the machine is equipped with a float that inter-
venes when the recovery tank is full, closing the suc-
tion hose and stopping the suction.
When this happens, it is necessary to switch off the
machine, to take off the plug from the mains socket
and to empty the recovery tank.
1. Hold the exhaust hose placed in the front part of
the machine.
2. Take off the exhaust plug acting upon its lever
and empty the recovery tank into appropriate con-
tainers, according to the standard norms.
ATTENTION:
This operation must be carried out using gloves to
protect from contact with dangerous solutions.
EMPTYING DETERGENT SOLUTION
To empty the detergent solution remained in the so-
lution tank:
1. Bring the machine to an appropriate place for
tanks draining.
2. Close the solution valve (9).
3. Unscrew the exhaust plug (A).
4. Open the solution valve (9).
