Emptying the dirty water tank
An automatic float-controlled shut-off device mounted to the lid of the dirty water tank is
designed to inhibit further operation of the vacuuming system when the tank is full. It is possible
to recognize when the vacuuming system has been shut off, as the suction motor will suddenly
become noisier in operation, and the floor will not dry as expected. In this situation, the operator
must stop the machine and empty the dirty water tank, proceeding as follows:
• Turn off the machine off at the main switch.
• Take the machine to the designated disposal area.
• Press in the two lateral tank retaining catches (fig. 25, ref. 1), and separate the dirty water
tank from the frame.
• Remove the cap of the dirty water tank (fig.26, ref. 1).
• Empty the tank (fig. 27).
Drive adjustment
The machine is equipped with a special mechanical drive device that exploits the friction created
between brush and floor to generate forward movement. The driving force produced by the
device can be varied by turning the relative knob (fig. 28, ref. 1), which presents two sectors of
different colour, one green and the other yellow:
• turning the knob to the position that exposes the green sector, the deviate from a
straight line.
• turning the knob to the position that exposes the yellow sector, the driving force is
attenuated and the machine will advance in a straight line.
To make the adjustment, proceed as follows:
• Turn off the machine at the main switch.
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them on the floor, referring
to the section "Emptying the water/detergent tank" and "Emptying the dirty water tank".
• Elevate the brush/motor by taking up the weight with one hand, and with the other
hand, turn the knob (fig. 28, ref. 1) to the position desired.
Finishing work
• Turn off the machine at the main switch.
• Empty the dirty water tank and rinse with clean water, referring to the section
"Emptying the dirty water tank".
• Empty the detergent solution tank, referring to the section
"Emptying the water/detergent tank".
• Stow the machine in the parking position, referring to the section
"Selection of parking position".
