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 hook 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 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 with the battery charge
power test placed on the control panel and, if suffi-
cient, select with the speed adjusting knob the run-
ning speed wanted; put the brush motor switch and
the suction motor switch to the ON position in order
to set the motors in the operating mode.
Adjust the solution water outlet with the control lever
placed in the back of the machine; lower the squee-
gee unit by lowering the control level and the brush
plate with the foot pedal at the back of the machine.
To start working, pull the control lever upwards; the
brush rotation will start and the machine will start
moving forward. Releasing the control lever the
machine will stop and the brush rotation will stop
after few seconds.
Push the control lever down to move reverse.
!
(
) Remember to lift the squeegee before driving
reverse 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
• Ignition key, to turn the machine on and off.
• Brush switch, to turn on the brush rotation motor
• Pedal to raise/lower the brush unit off/on to the
ground.
• Suction switch, to turn on the suction motor
• Solution flow adjustment lever, to regulate the
quantity (maximum toward the bottom, minimum
toward the top) of detergent solution to be applied
on the floor .
• Battery charge control, the sequence of lights pro-
gressively turns off until the battery is discharged .
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 char-
ging 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 squeegee before driving
reverse 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-
