Floor Cleaning; Recovery Tank; Detergent Solution Tank; Starting Of The Machine - Diamond 85 Instrucciones De Uso Y Mantenimiento

For a longer life of the brushes we suggest to invert
daily their position. Whenever brushes result to be
deformed we suggest to reassemble them in the
same position, in order to avoid that the different
inclination of the bristles causes excessive motor
overload or troublesome vibrations.
Use only brushes supplied with the machine or the
ones indicated in the paragraph "RECOMMENDED
BRUSHES". The use of other brushes
compromise the good washing result.

FLOOR CLEANING

RECOVERY TANK

Verify that the squeegee hose couplings (1/2) are
correctly inserted into their seats and that the
exhaust hose plug (4) placed in the rear part of the
machine is well closed.
Check that the inspection cap (3) placed on the
upper part of the tank is well closed.
Finally, verify the correct tightening of the closing
lever (5) of the cleaning door (6) placed in the
lower part of the tank.

DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK

The capacity of the detergent solution tank is
indicated in the technical data.
Open the screw plug placed in the left part of the
machine and fill the detergent solution tank with
clean water at a maximum temperature of 50°C
(122°F). Add the liquid detergent in the percentage
and conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. To
avoid excessive foam presence, which could cause
problems to the suction motors, use the minimum
percentage of detergent. Screw down the plug to
close the solution tank.
The switching on of the signal lamp of low
detergent (19) indicates that the detergent solution
is nearly exhausted.
Use always low foam detergent. To avoid foam
presence, before starting working operation,
introduce into the recovery tank a minimum
quantity of anti-foam product.
Never use pure acid.

STARTING OF THE MACHINE

A safety device avoids the machine's movement if
the operator is not seated correctly on the guiding
place.
To switch on the machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on
the machine.
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. With the selector (12) in central position (BREAK
WASHING) the transfer operations of the
machine are carried out (see under paragraph

"FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT").

5. Moving the selector (12) onto the left, the
automatic (AUTO) functioning is chosen. Moving
it instead onto the right, the functioning of the
machine becomes manual (MAN):
can
A. If the selector (12) is in position (AUTO) the
machine activates and deactivates all the
working functions in an automatic mode (see
under paragraph "WORKING IN AUTOMATIC
MODE").
B. If the selector (12) is in position (MAN) every
function of the machine has to be activated
or deactivated manually (see under paragraph
"WORKING IN MANUAL MODE").
FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT
It is recommendable to carry out always the mere
transfer of the machine in mode (BREAK
WASHING).
To proceed to activate the movement of the
machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on
the machine.
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. Release the parking brake. If the brake was
inserted, the signal lamp (17) would be switched
on (see under paragraph "EMERGENCY-PARKING
BRAKE").
5. Bring the selector (12) in central position (BREAK
WASHING) to carry out the mere transfer of the
machine. In fact, in this mode the washing
functions of the machine are not working and
only the traction system functions.
6. Select the driving sense with the selector (8).
7. Press onto the accelerator pedal placed on the
right side to start the machine.
8. Adjust the driving speed in forward choosing the
slow one (at the maximum you can reach 4,5
km/h-2,8mph) or, pressing the same selector (9)
upwards, the faster one (at the maximum you
can reach 7 km/h-4,35mph) can be obtained.
9. In backward movement, when the machine is
moving, an intermittent warning device is
activated.
The machine is equipped with an automatic system
that reduces the speed when the drive direction is
changed. The speed reduction is as higher as
sharper is the curve.
The speed returns again normally as soon as the
machine gets out from the curve and it runs along
straight paths.

HORN

The machine is equipped with a horn which is
activated pressing the push button (6).

WORKING BRAKE

The machine is equipped with a hydraulic braking
system that acts on the rear wheels.
To brake it is sufficient to press the pedal placed at
the left side of the steering column releasing
instead the accelerator pedal.

EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE

In case of an emergency pull the lever of the
emergency and parking brake (1) placed on the left
side of the seat.
On the instrument board the signal lamp (17)
comes on which signals that the parking brake is
inserted.
To release the parking brake press the button (2)
placed at the final part of the brake lever (1) and
simultaneously lower it to the end.
