inefficiently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting
it from the electric power supply or from the batte-
ries) and do not tamper with it.
Contact one of the manufacturer's technical service
centres.
• All maintenance or accessory replacement ope-
rations must be carried out in environments with
adequate lighting and only after having discon-
nected the machine from the electric power supply
by detaching the battery connector.
• All work on the electrical system and all mainte-
nance and repair operations (especially those not
explicitly described in this manual) should be car-
ried out only by authorized service centers or by
specialized technical personnel who are experts in
the sector and in the pertinent safety regulations.
☞ The machine owner can only use original acces-
sories and spare parts supplied exclusively by the
manufacturer since such parts are the only ones
that guarantee that the equipment will operate
safely without any problems. Do not use parts di-
sassembled from other machines or other kits as
spare parts.
☞ Before each use, check the machine and, in par-
ticular, check that the battery charging cable and
the connector are in good condition and safe for
use. If they are not in perfect condition, do not
use the machine for any reason until an authorized
specialist repairs the defective parts.
☞ If foam or liquid is noted, immediately turn off
the suction motor.
☞ Do not use the machine on textile flooring, such
as rugs, carpeting, etc.
Wax, foaming detergents or dispersions along the
hoses may cause serious problems for the machine
or clog the hoses.

4. HANDLING INFORMATION
4.1
PACKING
SPORT
• During all lifting or transport operations, make
sure that the packed machine is securely anchored
to prevent it from tipping over or falling acciden-
tally.
Transport vehicle loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with adequate lighting.
The packed machine must be handled using ade-
quate devices, making sure not to damage/strike
any part of the packing, not to tip it over and to be
very careful when placing it on the ground.
☞ All these instructions also apply to the batteries
and the battery charger.
4.2
CHECKS UPON DELIVERY
☞ When the goods are delivered (machine, battery
LIFTING
AND
TRAN-
or battery charger) by the transporter, carefully
check the condition of the packing and its con-
tents. If the contents have been damaged, notify
the transporter and reserve the right, in writing
(select the word "reserve" on the document), to
submit a claim for compensation before accepting
the goods.
4.3
UNPACKING
• Wear safety clothing and use adequate tools to
limit the risks of accidents.
Carry out the following steps if the machine is pa-
cked with a cardboard housing:
- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the
plastic straps.
- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the
packed machine.
- Remove the envelops inside and check their con-
tents (use and maintenance manual, battery char-
ger connector)
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps
that secure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the
packing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it
backward) by using an inclined surface that is so-
lidly attached to the floor and to the pallet.
If the machine is packed in a wooden crate:
- Detach all the wooden sides from the pallet, star-
ting from the top one.
- Remove the protective film wrapped around the
machine.
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps
that secure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the
packing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it
backward) by using an inclined surface that is so-
lidly attached to the floor and to the pallet.
Take the same precautions and follow the same
instructions to remove the optional battery char-
ger from the packing (holding the special handles
to extract it from the top of the packing) and the
optional battery.
After moving the machine away from all the pa-
cking, start mounting the accessories and the
batteries as per the instructions provided in the
specific section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might
be useful in the future to protect the machine and
the accessories during transport to another loca-
tion or to authorized service centers. If not, the
packing can be disposed in accordance with current
disposal laws.

LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHI-
NE, BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
