• depending on the model, unplug the machine or disconnect the batteries (fig. 5, ref. 1
and ref. 2);
• empty and clean the dirty water drum.
• R models with rollers: empty the debris bin (fig. 17).
6.8. Some useful tips to get the most from your scrubber drier
•
In the event of particularly stubborn dirt on the floor, washing and drying can be
performed in two separate operations.
6.8.1. Prewashing using brushes or pads
• Adjust the detergent flow, except ECS models;
• press the brush button (fig. 6, ref. 3)
• lower the head;
• operate the drive lever to rotate the brushes;
• make sure the suction motor is off and the squeegee is raised;
• begin washing.
The flow of water must be adjusted in proportion to the desired advance speed. The
slower the machine moves forwards, the less water is needed.
Persist when washing particularly dirty points to give the detergent time to perform its
mechanical action detaching and suspending the dirt and the brushes time to exert an
effective mechanical action.
6.8.2. Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction motor on, pass over the same area washed
previously.
The result is equivalent to in-depth washing and subsequent ordinary
maintenance will take less time.
To wash and dry at the same time, operate the brush, water, squeegee and suction motor
simultaneously.
6.9. Draining the dirty water
Drain the dirty water with the machine disconnected from the power supply.
The dirty water drum drain hose is at the back left side of the machine.
To empty the drum:
• move the machine near a drain;
• detach the drain hose (fig. 8, ref. 2) from its seat by holding it near the fixing spring (fig.
8, ref. 3) and pulling horizontally;
• keeping the hose end as high as possible, unscrew and remove the cap (fig. 8, ref. 4);
• lower the hose end gradually, controlling the intensity of the flow of water by adjusting
the height from the ground;
• check the amount of dirt left in the dirty water drum and if necessary wash it out. To
facilitate cleaning and complete emptying of the drum, you are recommended to
unfasten and lift it;
• when the dirty water has been totally drained, lower the dirty water drum (if previously
lifted) and refasten to the detergent tank;
• close the drain hose (fig. 8, ref. 2) by replacing the cap (fig. 8, ref. 4), check that it is
tightly closed and replace the hose in its housing.
