Direction adjustment knob (fig. 5, ref. 10): turn to correct any deviation of the
machine from a straight line.
Head lowering/raising pedal (fig. 5, ref. 9): on the left side of the machine, when
pressed it lowers/raises the brush head.
Detergent tank level indicator (fig. 5, ref. 5): the LED comes on when there is no longer
sufficient water in the detergent tank.
Dirty water drum level indicator (fig. 5, ref. 4): when the dirty water drum is full the LED
comes on and after a few seconds the suction motor shuts down.
Display: displays any alarms active. During normal operation, it displays the hour
counter (giving the actual number of hours the machine has been operating).
Direction selection (fig. 5, ref. 13 - BT models with electric drive): sets movement of
the machine to forwards or reverse.
Speed control potentiometer (fig. 5, ref. 11 - BT models with electric drive),
turning the potentiometer sets the maximum machine speed.
6.2. Mounting and adjusting the squeegee
The squeegee (fig. 6) is responsible for the first phase of drying.
To mount the squeegee on the machine, proceed as follows:
check that the squeegee mount (fig. 6, ref. 2) is raised, otherwise lift it by means of the
squeegee lever (fig. 5, ref. 8);
insert the suction hose sleeve (fig. 6, ref. 4) fully into the squeegee;
slacken the two knobs (fig. 6, ref. 3) at the centre of the squeegee;
insert the two threaded pins into the slots on the support (fig. 6, ref. 2);
fix the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (fig. 6, ref. 3).
The squeegee blades scrape the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare
the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade in
contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring it
to be replaced. The state of wear should be checked frequently.
For perfect drying, the squeegee must be adjusted in such a way that the edge of the rear
blade bends during operation by about 45° with respect to the floor at every point. The
angle of the blades can be adjusted using the screw (fig. 6, ref. 1), while the height of the
squeegee from the floor can be adjusted using the screw (fig. 6, ref. 5).
6.3. Moving the machine when not in operation
Proceed as follows to move the machine.
raise the squeegee;
push the head pedal down then to the right (fig. 5 ref. 9) to raise the head;
move the machine as follows:
Versions with mechanical drive: push or pull;
Versions with electric drive: to move the machine forwards, press the selector
(fig. 5 ref. 13), then operate the drive lever (fig. 5 ref. 7). To move the machine
backwards, press the selector (fig. 5 ref. 13), then operate the drive lever (fig. 5.
ref. 7);
speed can be varied by the potentiometer knob (fig. 5. ref. 11).
once you have reached your destination, lower the head by pressing the release pedal
(fig. 5 ref. 9) down and to the left, then release it.
Do not leave the machine unattended or parked with the head lifted or the key
