Pre-Washing
• Turn on the water;
• Switch on the brush motor and lower the head;
• Adjust the head pressure, which depends on the type of floor and dirt to be removed;
• Start washing with the suction motor off and the squeegee lifted;
The flow of water must be dosed in proportion to the desired advance speed: the slower the machine goes, less water comes
down. Insist on washing the dirtiest spots: in this way the detergent has the time to perform its chemical action for the
detachment and suspension of dirt, and the brushes to develop an effective mechanical action.
Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction unit operating pass again on the same area you have previously washed. In this way you
obtain a result that is similar to a thorough washing and the following operations of ordinary maintenance will certainly take less
time. To wash and dry at the same time, operate the brushes, water, squeegee and suction motor simultaneously.
Never leave the machine unmanned with the suction unit running.
Draining Off Dirty Water
Use the individual protection devices suitable for the operation to be performed. Perform the draining operations with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.
The drain hose of the recovery tank is located at the rear left side of the machine. To empty the above-mentioned tank:
• Take the machine next to a drain;
• Stop the machine and press the emergency button (fig. 8, ref. 2); engage the parking brake by means of the pedal
(fig. 8, ref. 12);
• Take off the tank cap (fig. 15, ref. 1) from the recovery tank (fig. 15, ref. 5);
• Detach the drain hose (fig. 15, ref. 2) from its seat, holding it in correspondence with the fixing spring (fig. 15, ref. 3) and
pull it horizontally;
• Keeping the hose end as much high as possible, take off the drain (fig. 15, ref. 4) from the hose by unscrewing it;
• Lower the hose end gradually, checking the intensity of the jet of water with reference to its height from the ground;
• Check the amount of residual dirt in the recovery tank and wash it inside, if necessary. To facilitate the cleaning and total
drain, it is better to unhook it from the solution tank and lift it;
• When the dirty water has been totally drained, lower the recovery tank (if it
has been previously lifted) and hook it again to the solution tank;
• Put back the cap (fig. 15, ref. 1) on the recovery tank, making sure that it is
perfectly closed;
• Close the drain hose (fig. 15, ref. 2) with the cock (fig. 15, ref. 4)
screw-tightening it; check that it is perfectly closed and refit the hose in its
housing.
While washing the recovery tank never remove the suction filter (fig. 18, ref. 2) from its seat
and never direct the jet of water towards the filter itself. Now it is possible to proceed with a
new washing and drying action.
