6.1.c - Using the machine
(Figs. 21 and 23)
- After starting the machine, begin cleaning
by keeping the levers (52) pressed, thus
keeping the machine running and brush
rotation active.
- The machine must be used creating small
arches with the operator in the middle.
- The traverse, which is the natural drift of
the machine, is obtained by pressing or
lifting the machine grip.
Pulling or lifting the grip slightly makes
the machine move to the right.
Pressing or gently lowering the grip
makes the machine move to the left.
Slightly twisting the right-hand side of the
grip makes the machine move forward.
Slightly twisting the left-hand side of the
grip makes the machine move backward.
N.B.:
Move the grip gently in order to achieve man-
ageable machine movements.
- To keep the machine running at a certain
point, simply hold the grip in the starting
position.
N.B.:
Using the machine in a fixed position while the
brushes are rotating for a prolonged time can
cause damage to the floor.
- For machines equipped with an optional
tank, adjust the water supply using the le-
ver (64).
N.B.:
When the levers (52) are released, brush rota-
tion stops and the machine is turned off.
6.1.d - Double speed (if present)
(Fig. 24)
- For some models, it is possible to select
the brush or pad holder rotation speed:
- Standard speed
- Double speed
N.B.:
Select the desired speed before starting the
machine.
WARNING:
Before using the double speed, make
sure that the brush or pad used is capa-
ble of a rotation speed equal to 308 rpm.
- To select the desired speed, press the
speed selector (65) on the back of the
machine body.
- Using the machine with double speed se-
lected is identical to using the machine at
a low speed.
It is though, necessary to pay more atten-
tion to the driving movements which must
be even more gentle due to the higher
speed of the machine.
6.1.e - End of use and turning off
(Fig. 21 and 25/27)
- At the end of the cleaning, before turning
off the machine, shut off the water supply.
- Release the levers (52) to stop brush ro-
tation and turn off the machine (Fig. 20).
- Put the handle in an upright position.
- Remove the tank (optional) and empty
any solution out of it.
- Remove the brush or pad holder after use.
WARNING:
Do not leave the machine at a standstill
while the brush or pad holder are assem-
bled to prevent them from being dam-
aged.
