
( ) Turn the key, remove it from the control panel
and disconnect the battery from the machine
wiring.
☞
( ) All work on the electrical system as well as all
maintenance and repair operations (especially
those not explicitly described in this manual) should
be carried out only by authorized service centers or
by specialized technical personnel who are experts
in the sector and in the pertinent safety regulations.
Performing regular maintenance on the machine,
and carefully following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions, is the best guarantee for obtaining the best
performances and extended machine service life.

8.1 TANKS

Drain the two tanks as described in the relative sec-
tions.
Remove any solid dirt by filling and draining the
tanks until all dirt has been eliminated: use a wash-
ing hose or similar tool to do this.
!
( ) Water hotter than 50°, a high-pressure
cleaner or excessively powerful sprays may
damage the tanks and the machine.
Leave the plugs of the tanks open (only while the
machine is not being used) so that they can dry and
thus prevent the formation of foul odors.

8.2 SOLUTION FILTER CLEANING

To clean the solution water filter (Photo 29 - A) pro-
ceed as specified in section 7.9.4 .

8.3 SUCTION HOSE

Detach the suction hose from the squeegee ( Photo
22 - D ). Now you can wash the hose and remove
any obstructions.
Firmly insert the hose on the squeegee body.

8.4 SQUEEGEE

!
( ) Do not handle the squeegee with bare hands:
wear gloves and any safety clothing needed to
carry out the operation.
Detach the squeegee from the machine and clean
it under running water using a sponge or a brush.
Check the efficiency and the wear on the strips in
contact with the floor. They are designed to scrape
the film of detergent and water on the floor and to
isolate that portion of the surface to enhance the
vacuum of the suction motor: this ensures that the
machine will dry very efficiently. Working constantly
in this manner tends to round or to deteriorate the
sharp edge of the strip, thus reducing drying effi-
ciently. This is why the squeegee strips must be re-
placed.
To replace the worn blades, follow the instructions
in the relative section. Turn the blades around to
wear down the other sharp corners or to install new

ones.

8.5 ACCESSORIES

Remove and clean the brush or the abrasive pad
disk.
!
( ) To avoid damaging the floor and the machine,
carefully check if foreign matter, such as metallic
parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, has be-
come jammed.
Check that the brushes are flat as they work on the
surface (check for any irregular wear on the
brushes or on the abrasive disks). If necessary, ad-
just the slant of the action on the floor.
Use only the accessories recommended by the
manufacturer: other products may reduce operat-
ing safety.

8.6 MACHINE BODY

Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of
the machine and, if necessary, a soft brush to elim-
inate tough dirt. The machine's shockproof surface
is rough to make it harder to see scratches caused
during use. However, this does not make it easier to
remove tough stains on the surface. It is prohib-
ited to use steam machines, hoses with run-
ning water and high-pressure cleaners.
8.7 BATTERIES
PB-Acid batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and with all the
other instructions provided in this manual.
Exposing the element plates (not completely im-
mersed in the acid solution) will lead to rapid oxi-
dation and irreparably reduce the element's
operating capacities.
An overflowing acid solution may corrode the ma-
chine.
Use battery chargers recommended by the manu-
facturer and, in any case, those that are suitable
for the type of battery to be charged.
Always charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms:
there is an explosion risk!
The use of gel or maintenance-free batteries is
highly recommended.
GEL batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and with all the
other instructions provided in this manual.
Use only those battery chargers recommended by
the manufacturer.

The machine is equipped with electric protection
devices on the main operating components to avoid
