Battery discharge during operation
When there is only one segment turned on and flashing on the battery symbol (50-C), it is advisable to charge the batteries,
because the residual autonomy will last for a few minutes (depending on battery characteristics and work to be performed).
When the battery symbol (50-C) is flashing and no segment is turned on, the battery autonomy is over. After a few seconds, the
brush is automatically tuned off, while the vacuum system and the drive system stay on, to finish drying the floor and drive the
machine to the appointed recharging area.
CAUTION!
Do not use the machine with discharged batteries, to avoid damaging the batteries and reducing the battery life.

TANK EMPTYING

An automatic shut-off float system (31) turns off the vacuum system when the recovery tank (33) is full.
The vacuum system deactivation is signalled by a sudden increase in the vacuum system motor noise, and the floor is not dried.
CAUTION!
If the vacuum system turns off accidentally (for example, when the float is activated because of a sudden
machine movement), to resume the operation: turn off the vacuum system by pressing the push-button (47),
then open the cover (19) and check that the float inside the grid (31) has gone down. Then close the cover (19)
and turn on the vacuum system by pressing the push-button (47).
When the recovery tank (33) is full, empty it according to the following procedure.
