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. (PHOTO B-23)
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 necessary,
wash it inside through the inspection hole by unscrewing
the rear window (PHOTO B-18)
Fully tighten the drain hose with the screw plug and
hang it on the support behind the machine. (PHOTO
B-23)
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 (photo B-
16).
Put the ignition key in and turn it (photo C-36).
Check battery charge status (photo C-33) via the control
unit and, if sufficient, select the running speed wanted
(photo C-27-28), operate the brush control key (photo
C-30) and the suction control key (photo C-32). Now
open the solution cock by lowering the detergent dosage
lever which is at the back of the machine (photo B-24),
lower the suction unit by lowering the squeegee control
level (photo B-15), lower the washing unit, levering with
your foot on the brush plate control lever (photo B-19).
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up or push it
down to reverse (photo B-14). Remember 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, reducing
drying efficiency.
This machine can driven only by trained personnel.
7.7.2 OPERATING CONTROLS
• Ignition key, to turn the machine on and off (PHOTO
C-36)
• Direction lever, to select forward or reverse movements
(PHOTO B-14)
• Speed regulator, to select the maximum advancement
speed (PHOTO C-27-28)
• Brush switch, to turn on the brush rotation motor
(PHOTO C-30)
Pedal to raise/lower the brush unit off/on to the ground
(PHOTO B-19)
• Suction switch, to turn on the suction motor (PHOTO
C-32)
• Solution flow adjustment lever, to regulate the quantity
(maximum toward the bottom, minimum toward the top)
of detergent solution to be applied on the floor (PHOTO
B-24)
• Battery charge control, the sequence of lights
progressively turns off until the battery is discharged
(PHOTO C-33). When the red light turns on, turn off
the brush motor, close the solution supply, finish drying
the small residual 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 (photo B-
16).
Put the ignition key in and turn it (photo C-36).
Check battery charge status (photo C-33) via the control
unit and, if sufficient, select the running speed wanted
(photo C-27-28), operate the brush control key (photo
C-30) and the suction control key (photo C-32). Now
open the solution cock by lowering the detergent dosage
lever which is at the back of the machine (photo B-24),
lower the suction unit by lowering the squeegee control
level (photo B-15), lower the washing unit, levering with
your foot on the brush plate control lever (photo B-19).
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up or push it
down to reverse (photo B-14). Remember to lift the
floor cleaner before reversing to avoid damaging it.
Never use the machine without the detergent solution:
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, select the running speed wanted , operate
the brush control key. Now open the solution cock by
lowering the detergent dosage 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 or push it down
to reverse.
Allow the detergent solution to work on the dirt
according to what is indicated in the information
relative to the detergent used.
Use the brake to stop the machine.
Second set of operations:
Proceed as explained in the previous "Direct Washing"
paragraph (7.7.3) to also proceed with drying the floor.
