Check how much dirt is still in the tank and, if ne-
cessary, wash it inside through the inspection hole
by unscrewing the rear window .
Fully tighten the drain hose with the screw plug and
hang it on the support behind the machine. The
drain hose plug must be airtight, otherwise the sub-
sequent pressure loss will reduce drying efficiency.
7.6 DRIVING THE MACHINE
Check connection between the power and battery
connectors, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit and,
if sufficient, select the running speed wanted, ope-
rate the brush control key and the suction control
key. Now open the solution cock by lowering the de-
tergent dosage lever which is at the back of the ma-
chine, lower the suction unit by lowering the
squeegee control level, lower the washing unit, le-
vering with your foot on the brush plate control lever.
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up . Re-
member to lift the floor cleaner before reversing to
avoid damaging it.
7.7 WORK METHOD
7.7.1 PREPARATION AND WARNINGS
Remove any loose solid residue from the surface to
be treated (using suitable tools, such as vacuum
cleaners, sweepers, etc.). It this is not done, the
solid dirt might prevent the squeegee from opera-
ting correctly, reducing drying efficiency.
This machine can driven only by trained personnel.
7.7.2 OPERATING CONTROLS
• Battery charge control: the sequence of lights
progressively turns off until the battery is dischar-
ged . When the red light turns on, turn off the
brush motor, close the solution supply, finish drying
the small residual moisture and go to the battery
charging area to charge the battery.
!
(
) The batteries may be irreparably damaged if
the residual charge level drops too low (see the
battery operating manual). Do not force the battery
discharge beyond the safety limits, turning the key
off and on or in any other manner.
!
(
) When an abnormal situation occurs, such as
when the machine doesn't have enough power and
the safety devices don't trip, stop immediately: fol-
low the instructions in the troubleshooting section
and contact a specialised worker to check the di-
scharge control devices.
7.7.3 DIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR SLIGHTLY
DIRTY SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in a single pass.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
Check connection between the power and battery
connectors, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit
and, if sufficient, select the running speed wanted,
operate the brush control key and the suction con-
trol key. Now open the solution cock by lowering
the detergent dosage lever which is at the back of
the machine, lower the suction unit by lowering the
squeegee control level, lower the washing unit, le-
vering with your foot on the brush plate control
lever .
Move forwards, pulling the forward lever up or push
it down to reverse . Remember to lift the floor clea-
ner before reversing to avoid damaging it.
Never use the machine without the detergent solu-
tion: the floor might be damaged.
7.7.4 INDIRECT SCRUBBING OR FOR VERY
DIRTY SURFACES
Scrubbing and drying in various passes.
Prepare the machine as previously described.
First set of operations:
Check the connection between the power and bat-
tery connector, located under the control panel.
Put the ignition key in and turn it.
Check battery charge status via the control unit
and, if sufficient, operate the brush control key.
Now open the solution cock by lowering the deter-
gent dosage lever which is at the back of the ma-
chine, lower the brushing unit by levering with your
foot on the brush plate control lever. Move for-
wards, pulling the forward lever up .
Allow the detergent solution to work on the
dirt according to what is indicated in the in-
formation relative to the detergent used.
Second set of operations:
Proceed as explained in the previous "Direct Wa-
shing" paragraph (7.7.3) to also proceed with drying
the floor.
Never use the machine without the detergent solu-
tion: the floor might be damaged.
7.7.5 POST-SCRUBBING OPERATIONS
Cut off the supply of detergent.
Lift the brush unit and turn off the brush motor.
After having completely dried any traces of water
on the surface, wait a few seconds and then lift the
squeegee and turn off the suction motor.
Move to a suitable location to drain the tanks (as
described in 7.4 and 7.5).
Empty and clean the tanks (see sections 7.4 and
7.5).
Turn off the machine using the key and remove it
from the control panel.
If necessary, charge the battery (see the relative
section).
