Control Devices - Description
With reference to fig. 8 the machine has the following controls and LEDs:
• Battery charge level indicator (ref. 9): signals both "Power on" and the battery charge level. Note: the following
percentages are based on the usable capacity and not the total capacity of the batteries (therefore 100% flat = 80% of
total battery capacity). Possible situations are:
• Off: the main switch is set to "0" (off ) or the batteries are disconnected;
• Green light: batteries charged from 100% to 50%;
• Yellow light: batteries charged from 50% to 15%;
• Red light (also simultaneously with yellow or green light): batteries flat and must be recharged.
• Main switch - emergency button with key (ref. 2): enables or disables the power supply to all the machine functions. It
acts as a safety device. To start the machine turn the proper key clockwise. To stop the machine press the button.
• Brush/roller up-down button (ref. 5): when the arrow down is pressed, the head moves down to the working position,
the brush motor comes on automatically and the solenoid valve is activated. Via this button, a variable pressure can
be exerted on the head during the work phase (according to how long the button is kept pressed), thus adapting the
cleaning power of the brushes to a wide range of different operating conditions. When the arrow up is pressed, the head
moves up to the rest position, the brush motors are switched off and the solenoid valve is de-activated.
• Brush pressure indicator (ref. 8): indicates connections of brushes and pressure exerted by the head (1 led on indicates
beginning of brush connection; 2 leds on indicate minimum pressure; 3 leds on indicate maximum pressure).
• Brush release button (ref. 4): permits release of the brushes; press the button for a couple of seconds: when the button is
released, the brushes will be released.
• Cock control lever (ref. 3): allows to adjust continuously the flow of solution sent to the brushes. On turning it forward, the
liquid outlet flow is increased.
• Drive command lever (ref. 6): placed under the handgrip, when it is slightly pressed upwards (the emergency button must
be active), it starts the drive motor thus making the machine move forward. When the lever is pressed down, the drive
motor moves the machine in reverse gear.
• Squeegee lifting lever (ref. 11): it allows to raise (when lifted) or lower (when pushed down) the squeegee. When it is
pressed down, the suction motor is also switched on for drying the floor.
• Hour meter (ref. 7 - optional): displays the hours of work of the brush.
• Parking brake pedal (ref. 12): engages (when pressed and moved to the right) and disengages (when pressed and moved
to the left) the parking brake.
• Potentiometer (ref. 1): permits adjustment of the machine forward and reverse speed; when the knob is turned clockwise
the speed is increased.
Installing And Adjusting The Squeegee
The floor wiper, also called squeegee (fig. 2, ref. 8), is the first responsible for drying. To
install the squeegee on the machine proceed as follows:
• Stop the machine and press the emergency button (fig. 8, ref. 2); engage the
parking brake by means of the pedal (fig. 9, ref. 5);
• Check that the squeegee supporting plate (fig. 9, ref. 2) is raised, otherwise lift it
by acting on the proper lever (fig. 9, ref. 6);
• Firmly push down the sleeve of the suction tube (fig. 9, ref. 4) into the squeegee;
• Slacken the two knobs (fig. 9, ref. 3) placed in the centre of the squeegee;
• Insert the two threaded dowels in the slots of the support (fig. 9, ref. 2);
• Fix the squeegee by tightening the knobs (fig. 9, ref. 3).
