Follow the safety regulations on use of detergents given in the section "Safety
regulations".
6.6. Preparing the machine for work
Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip waterproof shoes,
mask to protect the respiratory tract, gloves and all other personal protection
devices recommended by the supplier of the detergent used or necessitated by the
Before starting work, proceed as follows:
•
Battery models: check the battery charge (recharge if necessary);
•
lower the head by means of the pedal (fig. 6, ref. 9);
•
make sure the dirty water drum (fig. 2, ref. 2) is empty. If necessary, empty it;
•
R models with rollers: empty the debris bin (fig. 17).
•
check that the tap lever (fig. 6, ref. 6) (230-110-115VAC mains powered models
only) is in the "CLOSED" position;
•
via the opening at the front, fill the detergent tank (fig. 2, ref. 7) with a suitable
concentration of clean water and low-foam detergent. Leave at least 5 cm between
the surface of the liquid and the opening of the tank;
•
if the machine is fitted with the optional CHEM DOSE accessory, remove the cap and
fill the tank (fig. 15, ref. 1) with appropriately diluted low-foam detergent.
•
mount the most suitable brushes, drive disks or rollers for the floor and work to be
performed (see paragraph 3.4);
•
make sure the squeegee (fig. 2, ref. 6) is firmly attached and connected to the suction
hose (fig. 7, ref. 4). Make sure the back blade is not worn.
If you are using the machine for the first time, we recommend trying it on a large
obstacle-free surface first to acquire the necessary familiarity.
Always empty the dirty water drum before filling the detergent tank again.
For effective cleaning and to extend the working life of the machine, follow a few simple
rules:
•
prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles;
•
begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just
cleaned;
•
choose the straightest possible working routes;
•
divide large floors into parallel rectangular sections.
If necessary, finish off by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the
scrubber drier.
6.7. Working
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows:
•
Connect the machine as follows:
- cable model: plug the machine into the mains power socket;
•
move the tap lever (fig. 6, ref. 6 - (230-110-115VAC mains powered models only) to
the minimum detergent flow position. Unless a safety solenoid valve is fitted, the
detergent solution starts flowing to the brush;
•
lower the squeegee by means of the corresponding lever (fig. 6, ref. 8);
•
press the brush switch (fig. 6, ref. 3). If the machine is set to also operate using the
ECS system, select the most suitable operating mode (BRUSH-PAD mode with
brush/abrasive disk or "MICROFIBRE" model with microfibre disk) by holding the
brush switch down for at least 5 seconds, the suction motor starts up automatically;
• press the suction button (fig. 6, ref. 2) if you want to disable detergent suction;
•
press the brush/drive lever (fig. 6, ref. 7);
