Choosing The Detergent; Draining Water (Solution Tank) - RCM ELAN Elan 612 Notice D'utilisation

Thanks to the washing operations and experience, it will be simple to have best cleaning results.
In case of a particularly dirty fl oor proceed in order to carry out a 1st fase. Distribute the solution detergent through the brushes to melt the dirt.
Then proceed with the 2nd fase "washing and drying" using the brushes to remove the dirt from the fl oor and the squeegee to dry it.
Danger!
This type of operation must be carried out in a zone to which unauthorised personnel do not
have access; place an appropriate sign.
Adding water (fi g.5)
Before each cleaning operation, open the cap 3 (fi g. 5) and fi ll the solution tank with the right amount of water and detergent. The tank is in
polyethylene and is resistant to acids, bases and most solvents.
Note!
Periodically clean up the grid-fi lter below to the cap 3 (fi g.5)

Choosing the detergent

For good cleaning results the correct detergent must be used. If necessary, request advice from the supplier or a competent person,
remembering that an excessively aggressive detergent may shorten the machine's working life. A reduced foam detergent, or an anti-foam
additive, must be used to avoid damage to the suction motor. If it is not possible to obtain these products, ordinary wine vinegar can be used,
pouring 50 cc. into the recovery tank before washing. After using these detergents, wash your hands and refer to the instructions provided on
the information sheet of the detergent itself.
To carry out the cleaning procedure, proceed as follows:
► start brush rotation and lowering by pressing button 5 (fi g. 3) marked with the brush symbol.
► turn on the cleaning water (solution) tap by the lever 1 and rod 2 fi g. 5.
To set the cleaning water fl ow-rate, set the rod 2 (fi g.5) in an intermediate position "B" and lock it by its lever 1 on position "A"-ON" (fi g.5), so that
the whole surface immediately behind the brushes is thoroughly wet, but there is no excess of splashes, spills or overfl ows from the squeegee.
N.B. the amount of solution varies depending on the level in the tank.
► start the vacuum system by pressing the button 6 (fi g. 3),the squeegee automatically descends to suck up the water.
► preset the selector switch 14 (fi g. 3) on A fi g.3 (as described in the DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS section).
► press the accelerator pedal 16 (fi g. 3) so that the scrubber/drier moves forward at the required speed and cleaning begins.
► three types of speed can be selected. Turning the switch 2 (fi g. 3) to the "tortoise" symbol provides low speed and thorough cleaning,
the "hare" setting gives a high speed for travelling between jobs and the position between the "tortoise and hare" symbols gives an
intermediate speed and level of cleaning.
► to travel backwards, set the selector switch 7 (fi g. 3) in position R (fi g.3) (as described in the DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS section).
When the washing and drying operation is complete, proceed as follows:
► turn off the water by unlocking the lever 1 in position "A-OFF" and move the rod 2 to fully back down position "C-OFF" (as shows fi g.5).
► stop brush rotation by pressing the button 5 (fi g. 3) to the "STOP" position.
► stop scrubber/drier travel; ( see CONTROLS, point 16.)
► stop vacuum system by pressing the button 6 (fi g. 3) to the "STOP" position; the squeegee will automatically be raised from the fl oor.
Draining water (recovery tank) (fi g.5)
After cleaning, drain the dirty water from the recovery tank using the hose 4 (fi g.5).
Cleaning of the recovery tank (fi g.5)
Clean accurately the recovery tank every time the washing-work is fi nished or in case if machine is not used frequently.
Danger!

► unlock the closing levers 5 and 8 (fi g.5).
► remove cover 6 and relative fi lter 7 (fi g.5) and clean it.
► turn over the recovery tank 9 (fi g.5) and support it by its stand 10 (fi g.5)
► use a water jet to clean inside the recovery tank
► When the cleaning procedure is fi nished, move to the vertical position the recovery tank.
► fi t cover 6 (fi g.5) on the recovery tank and lock all the closing levers 5 - 8 (fi g.5)
