Controls - Description

With reference to fig. 5, the machine has the following controls and indicator lights:
• Battery charge light (fig. 5, ref. 1): consists of 3 LEDs (red, yellow and green) which
indicate the level of battery charge. There may be:
a) green LED on: batteries from 100% to 50% charged;
b) yellow LED on: batteries from 50% to 18% charged;
c) red LED on: batteries almost flat;
d) red LED flashing: batteries completely flat; after a few seconds the brushes stop
and the brush switch light also comes on.
•
Main key switch - emergency button (fig. 5, ref. 15 BT models with electric drive):
enables and disables power to all machine functions. Acts as a safety device. To start
up the machine, turn the key clockwise. To stop the machine press the button.
•
Main Switch (fig. 5, ref. 3 B models with mechanical drive): enables and disables
electrical power to all machine functions. To start the machine press the button. To
stop the machine press the button.
• Brush button with light (fig. 5, ref. 3 - all models): enables (LED on) and disables
(LED off) brush and suction motor operation.
•
Suction button with light (fig. 5, ref. 2): switches the suction motor responsible for
drying the floor being washed on ("LED on") or off ("LED off"). The light is on when
there is power to the suction motor.
• Solution flow regulation button (fig. 5, ref. 18): enables the flow of detergent to the
brushes to be regulated constantly. The quantity of liquid delivered is indicated by the
LEDs (fig. 5, ref. 20).
Holding this button down for at least 2 seconds enables/disables detergent flow.
On this machine, the quantity of flow delivered can be adjusted manually by pressing
the detergent flow regulation button (fig. 5, ref. 18) a number of times or automatically
(BT models with electric drive only). In this mode, the flow delivered will
automatically be in proportion to machine speed. Follow the instructions below to set
the machine's software for the type of detergent flow:
•
turn the machine on, wait 5 seconds and make sure the display comes on.
•
press the brush buttons (fig. 5, ref. 3) and suction button (fig. 5, ref. 2) together
for at least 5 seconds. This accesses the battery setting menu.
•
press the brush button (fig. 5, ref. 3) once to access the water regulation menu
("MAN" or "AUT" appears on the display).
•
press the suction button (fig. 5, ref. 2) a number of times to select "MAN"
(manual) or "AUT" (automatic) operating mode.
•
memorise the displayed parameter by pressing the emergency or brush button.
• Drive lever (fig. 5, ref. 7): the drive lever moves the machine forwards and rotates the
brushes.
• Squeegee lever (fig. 5, ref. 8): raises (if lowered) or lowers (if raised) the squeegee.
