The steering wheel is similar to a car steering
wheel: it can be used to turn the machine around
itself by steering all the way to one side.
Allow the detergent solution to work on the dirt
according to what is indicated in the information
relative to the detergent used.
Second set of operations:
Follow the steps described in the previous section
"Direct Scrubbing" (7.8.3).
To avoid damage to the surfaces being treated, the
brush motor will stop automatically about 2 sec-
onds after the advancement pedal has been com-
pletely released.
Remember to lift the squeegee before
driving reverse to avoid damaging it.
☞ Never use the machine without the detergent
solution: the floor might be damaged
7.7.5
POST-SCRUBBING OPERATIONS
Cut off the supply of detergent.
Lift the brush unit and turn off the brush motor.
After having completely dried any traces of water
on the surface, wait a few seconds and then lift the
squeegee and turn off the suction motor.
Move to a suitable location to drain the tanks (as
described in 7.4 and 7.5).
Empty and clean the tanks (see sections 7.4 and 7.5).
Turn off the machine using the key and remove it
from the control panel.
If necessary, charge the battery (see the relative
section).
8. MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Turn the key, remove it from the control panel
and disconnect the battery from the machine wir-
ing.
☞ 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 authorised service
centres or by specialised 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
sections.
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 covers of the tanks open (only while the
machine is not being used) so that they can dry
and thus prevent the formation of foul odours.
8.2
SUCTION HOSE
Detach the suction hose from the squeegee.
Pull out the suction hose from its connection hole
placed in the recovery tank.
Now you can wash the hose and remove any ob-
structions.
After the cleaning, firmly insert again the suction
hose inside connection hole placed in the recovery
tank.
Firmly insert the hose on the squeegee body.
8.3
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 con-
stantly in this manner tends to round or to dete-
riorate the sharp edge of the strip, thus reducing
drying efficiently. This is why the squeegee strips
must be replaced.
To replace the worn straps, follow the instructions
in the relative section. Turn the straps around to
wear down the other sharp corners or to install
new ones.
8.4
ACCESSORIES
Remove and clean the brushes or the scraper disks.
To avoid damaging the floor and the machine,
carefully check if foreign matter, such as metallic
parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, has
become 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.
8.5
CLEANING SOLUTION FILTER
Make sure that the detergent solution tank is
empty.
Check and clean the solution filter located in the
lower front part of the machine. Clean with running
water if necessary and check that the detergent
solution is being delivered on the brushes.
Fully tighten the filter to prevent leaks during op-
eration.
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 elimi-
