to be treated (using suitable tools, such as vacuum
6. OPERATING INFORMATIONS
cleaners, sweepers, etc.). It this is not done, the solid
dirt might prevent the squeegee from operating cor-
rectly, reducing drying efficiency.
Only trained personnel can drive this machine.
6.12.2. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL CONTROLS
The sequence of lights of the battery charge control
( Photo 18 - C, B, A ) shows the battery discharging.
When the red light turns on ( Photo 18 - A ), turn off
the brush motor, close the detergent solution outlet,
finish drying the small residual moisture and go to
the battery charging area to charge the battery.
• The battery may be irreparably damaged if the
residual charge level drops too low (see the bat-
tery operating manual). Do not force the battery
discharge beyond the safety limits, turning the
key off and on or in any other manner.
6.12.3. DIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR SLIGHTLY
Scrubbing and drying in a single pass.
Prepare the machine as previously described and use
it as described in paragraph 7.12 .
☞ Never use the machine without the detergent
solution: the floor might be damaged.
6.12.4. INDIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR VERY
Scrubbing and drying in various passes.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
First set of operations:
Wash the floor as described in paragraph 7.11 without
drying the floor

mation relative to the detergent used.
Second set of operations:
Proceed as explained in the previous "Direct Washing"
paragraph (7.13.3) to also proceed with drying the floor.
☞ Never use the machine without the detergent
solution: the floor might be damaged.
6.12.5. POST-SCRUBBING OPERATIONS
Close the detergent solution outlet.
After having completely dried any traces of water
on the surface, wait a few seconds and then lift the
squeegee and turn off the suction motor.
Move to a suitable location to drain the tanks; empty
