6.11 DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK
The dirty water must be drained in accordance with
national regulations.
The user is completely responsible for ensuring
compliance with such rules.
After the detergent solution is finished, always
empty the recovery tank ( Photo N - 2) before fill-
ing it again.
In general, the recovery tank can be emptied when-
ever required, and even during intermediate phases
of the work cycle.
The recovery tank volume is higher than the deter-
gent solution volume, therefore a potentially dan-
gerous situation for the suction motor should never
occur. In any case, a safety float will stop the suc-
tion if the dirty liquid level is too high.
(
) If water or foam starts leaking from under the
tanks for any reason, immediately turn off the suc-
tion motor and empty the recovery tank.
To drain the tank:
Drive the machine to a suitable location to drain the
dirty water and preferably near a toilet or a sewer
drain (comply with the national regulations for
waste water disposal).
Turn off the machine and remove the key from the
panel.
Detach the drain hose from the holder ( Photo B -
3 ) ( Photo D - 3 ) ( Photo G - 5) and, keeping it
high, unscrew the plug.
Lower the drain hose toward the selected drainage
point.
The emptying operation can be interrupted quickly
and whenever required just by raising the drain
hose.
Check how much dirt is still in the tank and, if nec-
essary, wash it inside through the inspection hole (
Photo P - 2).
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.
6.12 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE
OF MODEL E (AC 230V)
The E (AC 230V) machine may be turned on only if
the voltage indicated on the tag corresponds with
the available voltage and that the electrical 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 E (AC 230V) ma-
chine has parts, which are connected 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.
6.13 DRIVING THE MACHINE
Model AC 230V
- Connect the power cable of the machine ( Photo
B - 4 ) to the power mains using a patch cord.
- Switch ON the general ON-OFF switch ( Photo A - 3 ).
- Lower the squeegee unit by using the lift/lower
lever ( Photo B - 1 ),
- Lower the brush plate unit by using the lift/lower
lever ( Photo B - 2 ).
- Switch ON the suction motor switch ( Photo A - 1 ).
- Switch ON the brush motor switch ( Photo A - 2
); with the brush rotation is also activated the out-
flow of the detergent solution controlled by the so-
lenoid valve.
- Wash the floor moving forward slowly; turning off
the brush rotation switch the outflow of the clea-
ning solution stops.
To adjust the outflow of the cleaning solution
it is necessary to act on cap of the solution
water filter (Photo Q - 1); screwing the tran-
sparent cap increases the amount of flow,
while unscrewing the cap reduces the flow.
!
(
) Remember to lift the squeegee before driving
reverse to avoid damaging it.
Model DC 24V without traction
- Verify that the battery connector placed in the
back of the machine ( Photo D - 5 ) ( Photo G - 1 )
