sponds with the available voltage and that the elec-
trical outlet is grounded (earthed).
Do not damage the feed cable; do not crush or pull
on it.
Do not run over the feed cable with the machine.
The cable could wind up in moving parts causing a
short circuit.
(
) ATTENTION !!! - The power mains AC
230V machine has parts, which are con-
nected to the current; contact with these
could cause grave injuries or even death.
- Before executing any type of operation on the ma-
chine always disconnect it from the electrical source.
- Never touch electric cables that are defective or
worn.
- Before gaining access to the electrical system it is
always necessary to disconnect the machine from
the electrical source.
- In the case of defective, damaged, or cracked
electric cables, replace immediately with authentic
replacement parts.
- The network of connections must be protected
from water spray.
- The patch cord for the connection of the
machine to the mains power must conforms
to current safety rules.
- The electrical system to which the machine is con-
nected must be equipped with a cutout box.
- It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine in
proximity to swimming pools or stretches of water.
(
) EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In case of emergency:
- Immediately disconnect the machine from
the power mains.
- Immediately apply proper first-aid.
If an accident should occur the machine must not
be put into operation until a technician authorized
by the manufacturer has examined it.
8. MAINTENANCE INFORMATIONS
(
) Turn the key, remove it from the control panel
and disconnect the battery from the machine wi-
ring.
☞
(
) All work on the electrical system as well as all
maintenance and repair operations (especially
those not explicitly described in this manual) should
be carried out only by authorised service centres or
by specialised technical personnel who are experts
in the sector and in the pertinent safety regulations.
Performing regular maintenance on the machine,
and carefully following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions, is the best guarantee for obtaining the best
performances and extended machine service life.
8.1 TANKS
Drain the two tanks as described in the relative sec-
tions.
Remove any solid dirt by filling and draining the
tanks until all dirt has been eliminated: use a wa-
shing hose or similar tool to do this.
!
(
) Water hotter than 50°, a high-pressure
cleaner or excessively powerful sprays may
damage the tanks and the machine.
Leave the plugs of the tanks open (only while the
machine is not being used) so that they can dry and
thus prevent the formation of foul odours.
8.2 SUCTION HOSE
Detach the suction hose from the squeegee.
Now you can wash the hose and remove any ob-
structions.
Firmly insert the hose on the squeegee body.
8.3 SQUEEGEE
!
(
) Do not handle the squeegee with bare hands:
wear gloves and any safety clothing needed to
carry out the operation.
Detach the squeegee from the machine and clean
it under running water using a sponge or a brush.
Check the efficiency and the wear on the strips in
contact with the floor. They are designed to scrape
the film of detergent and water on the floor and to
isolate that portion of the surface to enhance the
vacuum of the suction motor: this ensures that the
machine will dry very efficiently. Working constan-
tly in this manner tends to round or to deteriorate
the sharp edge of the strip, thus reducing drying
efficiently. This is why the squeegee strips must be
replaced.
To replace the worn blades, follow the instructions
in the relative section. Turn the blades around to
wear down the other sharp corners or to install new
ones.
8.4 ACCESSORIES
Remove and clean the brushes or the scraper disks.
!
(
) To avoid damaging the floor and the machine,
carefully check if foreign matter, such as metallic
parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, has be-
come jammed.
Check that the brushes are flat as they work on the
surface (check for any irregular wear on the bru-
shes or on the abrasive disks). If necessary, adjust
the slant of the action on the floor.
Use only the accessories recommended by the ma-
nufacturer: other products may reduce operating
safety.
8.5 MACHINE BODY
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of
the machine and, if necessary, a soft brush to eli-
minate tough dirt. The machine's shockproof sur-
face is rough to make it harder to see scratches
caused during use. However, this does not make it
easier to remove tough stains on the surface.
Steam machines can be used but it's prohibited to
use hoses with running water or a high-pressure
cleaner.
