• replace the filter in its housing, making sure it is correctly positioned and retighten the
screw.

9.2.4 Squeegee blades: replacing

The squeegee blades collect the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare
the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade in
contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring it
to be replaced.
Turning or replacing the blades:
• lower the squeegee by means of the corresponding lever (fig. 5, ref. 8);
• remove the squeegee (fig. 2 ref. 6) from its mount (fig. 6 ref. 2) by completely
unscrewing the two knobs (fig. 6 ref. 3)
• remove the suction hose sleeve (fig. 6, ref. 4) from the squeegee;
• Open the catch (fig. 11, ref. 1).
• Remove the two blade retainers (fig. 11, ref. 2) by pushing them outwards then
extracting them.
• Remove the blade.
• Reuse the same blade by reversing the edge in contact with the floor until all four
edges are worn out, or replace with a new blade, fitting it onto the screws on the body
of the squeegee.
• Reposition the two blade pressing devices by centering the wider part of the slots on
the squeegee body fastening pins, then push the blade pressing devices inwards.
• Close the hook again.
• Replace the squeegee on its support, following the instructions described previously.

9.2.5 Fuses: replacement (battery models)

The fuses protecting the brush and suction motors are located in the fuse holder
(fig. 12, ref. 1) attached to the dirty water drum above the machine battery
compartment.
To replace the fuses:
• make sure the dirty water drum is empty and empty if necessary;
• raise the dirty water drum;
• raise the fuse holder cover and remove the fuse by unscrewing the fixing screws;
• fit a new fuse and close the fuse holder cover.
• lower the dirty water drum.
Fuse table: For the complete fuse table, see the spare parts catalogue.
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage than specified.
If a fuse continues to blow, the fault in the wiring, boards (if present) or motors must be
identified and repaired. Have the machine checked by qualified personnel.
9.3. Routine maintenance

9.3.1. Daily operations

After each day's work, proceed as follows:
• disconnect the machine from the power supply;
• empty the dirty water tank and clean if necessary;
• clean the squeegee blades and check for wear. If necessary, replace.
• check that the suction hole in the squeegee is not blocked. If necessary remove
encrusted dirt;
• recharge the batteries according to the procedure described.
