If for any reason the battery voltage drops considerably below the level envisaged,
even temporarily, the drive lock may cut in. In this case the machine must be
At the end of work:
• move the cock lever (fig. 8, ref. 3) to the position "CLOSED";
• release the drive lever (fig. 8, ref. 6) placed beneath the handle: the drive motor
switches off and the machine stops;
• raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (fig. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up to
stop the brushes (or drive discs or rollers) and raise them to prevent them becoming
permanently distorted;
• let the suction motor run for at least 2 minutes to make sure that it is completely dry;
• by raising the lever (fig. 8, ref. 11), lift the squeegee from the ground to prevent
continuous pressure causing distortion of the drying blades and to switch off the
suction motor;
• press the main switch (fig. 8, ref. 2) to disable all the machine functions;
• engage the parking brake via the pedal (fig. 8, ref. 12);
• empty and clean the recovery tank.
6.7.1. Additional functions
The machine is provided with additional functions that can be activated by removing
some fuses inside the control panel (fig. 14).
FU6 FUSE FUNCTION
When fuse FU6 is removed, the electronic control of the head is enabled, in particular the
following functions:
a) Brush timer: if the drive is released, the brushes will stop after a few seconds; to
reactivate the brushes, simply pull the drive lever.
b) Battery protection: when the batteries are flat, first the red led comes on, then the
brushes lock; in this case a continuous buzzer reminds the user that the head must be
raised to prevent damage to the brushes, since the drive continues to operate. The
brush motors are re-enabled by reset of the key (fig. 8, ref. 2) if the batteries have
sufficient load and voltage.
FU7 FUSE FUNCTION
Gel battery activation (the discharge voltages are varied for operation with the gel
batteries).
FU8 FUSE FUNCTION
Water is delivered to the brushes only when the drive is activated.
6.8 Some useful suggestions for the optimal use of the machine
If the floor presents a particularly resistant type of dirt, it is possible to make the machine
wash and dry it in separate stages.
6.8.1 Pre-washing
• Turn on the water cock;
• 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.
WARNING
switched off and then on again.
