Performing regular maintenance according to the Manufacturer's instructions improves
performance and extends the working life of the machine.
When cleaning the machine, observe the following precautions.
avoid the use of high pressure washers. Water could penetrate the electrical
compartment or motors leading to damage or the risk of short circuit;
do not use steam to avoid the heat warping plastic parts;
do not use hydrocarbons or solvents as they could damage the cowling and rubber
parts.

9.2.4 Squeegee blades: replacing
The squeegee blades collect the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare
the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade in
contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring it
to be replaced.
Turning or replacing the blades:
lower the squeegee by means of the corresponding lever (fig. 5, ref. 8);
