Adding water
Before each cleaning operation, fi ll the solution tank with the right amount
of water and detergent opening the cap 1 or using the pipe 2. The tank is in
polyethylene and is resistant to acids, bases and most solvents.
!
Caution!
The fi lling of the clean water (solution) tank must be carried out when
both tanks are fi xed on the machine.
Choosing the detergent
For good cleaning results the correct detergent must be used. If necessary, re-
quest advice from the supplier or a competent person, remembering that an
excessively aggressive detergent may shorten the machine's working life and
fl oor. A reduced foam detergent, or an anti-foam additive, must be used to avoid
damage to the suction motor. If it is not possible to obtain these products, ordi-
nary wine vinegar can be used, pouring 50 cc. into the recovery tank before wa-
shing. After using these detergents, wash your hands and refer to the instructions
provided on the information sheet of the detergent itself.
