pliance with such rules.
After the detergent solution is finished, always empty
the recovery tank before filling it again.
In general, the recovery tank can be emptied whene-
ver required, and even during intermediate phases of
the work cycle.
The recovery tank volume is higher than the deter-
gent solution volume, therefore a potentially dan-
gerous situation for the suction motor should never
occur. In any case, a safety float turns off the suction
motor if the dirty liquid level is too high.
• If water or foam starts leaking from under the tanks
for any reason, immediately turn off the suction motor
and empty the recovery tank.
To drain the tank:
Drive the machine to a suitable location to drain the
dirty water and preferably near a toilet or a sewer
drain (comply with the national regulations for waste
water disposal).
Turn off the machine and remove the key from the
panel.
Detach the drain hose from the hook and, keeping it
high, unscrew the plug.
Lower the drain hose toward the selected drainage
point.
The emptying operation can be interrupted quickly
and whenever required just by raising the drain hose.
Check how much dirt is still in the tank and, if neces-
sary, wash it inside through the inspection hole by
unscrewing the rear window .
Fully tighten the drain hose with the screw plug and
hang it on the support behind the machine. The drain
hose plug must be airtight, otherwise the subsequent
pressure loss will reduce drying efficiency.
7.6 DRIVING THE MACHINE
Check connection between the power and battery
connectors, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit and,
if sufficient, select the running speed wanted, operate
the brush control key and the suction control key. Now
open the solution cock by lowering the detergent do-
sage lever which is at the back of the machine, lower
the suction unit by lowering the squeegee control le-
vel, lower the washing unit, levering with your foot on
the brush plate control lever.
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up . Remem-
ber to lift the floor cleaner before reversing to avoid
damaging it.
7.7 WORK METHOD
7.7.1 PREPARATION AND WARNINGS
Remove any loose solid residue from the surface to be
treated (using suitable tools, such as vacuum cleaners,
sweepers, etc.). It this is not done, the solid dirt might
prevent the squeegee from operating correctly, redu-
cing drying efficiency.
This machine can driven only by trained personnel.
7.7.2 OPERATING CONTROLS
• Battery charge control: the sequence of lights pro-
gressively turns off until the battery is discharged .
When the red light turns on, turn off the brush motor,
close the solution supply, finish drying the small resi-
dual moisture and go to the battery charging area to
charge the battery.
• The batteries may be irreparably damaged if the
residual charge level drops too low (see the battery
operating manual). Do not force the battery discharge
beyond the safety limits, turning the key off and on or
in any other manner.
• When an abnormal situation occurs, such as when
the machine doesn't have enough power and the
safety devices don't trip, stop immediately: follow
the instructions in the troubleshooting section and
contact a specialised worker to check the discharge
control devices.
7.7.3 DIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR SLIGHTLY DIRTY
SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in a single pass.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
Check connection between the power and battery
connectors, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit and,
if sufficient, select the running speed wanted, opera-
te the brush control key and the suction control key.
Now open the solution cock by lowering the deter-
gent dosage lever which is at the back of the machine,
lower the suction unit by lowering the squeegee con-
trol level, lower the washing unit, levering with your
foot on the brush plate control lever .
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up or push
it down to reverse . Remember to lift the floor cleaner
before reversing to avoid damaging it.
Never use the machine without the detergent solu-
tion: the floor might be damaged.
7.7.4 INDIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR VERY DIRTY
SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in various passes.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
First set of operations:
Check the connection between the power and battery
connector, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit and,
if sufficient, operate the brush control key. Now open
the solution cock by lowering the detergent dosa-
ge lever which is at the back of the machine, lower
the brushing unit by levering with your foot on the
brush plate control lever. Move forwards, pulling the
forward lever up .
Allow the detergent solution to work on the dirt
according to what is indicated in the information
relative to the detergent used.
Second set of operations:
Proceed as explained in the previous "Direct Washing"
paragraph (7.7.3) to also proceed with drying the flo-
