AUTOMATISM SQUEEGEE LIFTING WHEN GOING
BACKWARDS
Selecting the backwards movement the squeegee is
brought automatically to the upper position. It will
then lower again in the following forward
movement.
This happens both in automatic as in manual mode
in order to protect the integrity of the squeegee.

WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE

The automatic operation is useful to simplify the
operator's work.
1. Activate the machine (see under paragraph
"STARTING OF THE MACHINE") putting the
selector (12) into the left position to choose the
automatic function (AUTO).
2. Check that the lever (10) is in the position of
optimum flow, depending on the type of floor
and the type of dirt (see under the paragraph
"FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF
SOLUTION").
3. Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the
selector (8), pressing the accelerator pedal and
adjusting the speed of the forward movement
with the selector (9), the machine starts to
proceed and in automatic mode all the working
functions are activated. In fact, automatically
both the brushes base as the squeegee go down,
the brushes begin to turn, the solenoid valve
opens to permit the detergent solution to flow
down onto the brushes and the suction system is
activated to recover the dirty water from the
floor.
Selecting the backward movement with the selector
(8) the squeegee lifts automatically and will then
return to lower itself during the next forward
movement.
If the accelerator pedal is released for more than
3 seconds, automatically all the functions are
switched off and both the brushes base as the
squeegee are lifted.
Pressing again the pedal, the machine starts to
move again and in automatic mode all the
working functions are reactivated.

WORKING IN MANUAL MODE

The manual mode is useful when, in special cases, it
is necessary to carry out separately only the
washing with the brushes or only the drying of the
floor.
Activate the machine (see under paragraph
"STARTING OF THE MACHINE") positioning the
selector (12) to the right to choose the manual
mode (MAN).
TO CARRY OUT THE WASHING WITH ONLY THE
BRUSHES:
1. Activate the selector (14) of up/down of the
brushes base to lower the brushes. Once that it is
lowered, the brushes begin to turn. The signal
lamp (22) indicates that the brushes base is in
the working position, while the signal lamp (23)
signals that the brushes are turning.
2. Press the switch (11) to open the solenoid valve
and permit the detergent solution to lower onto
the brushes. The signal lamp (24) will come on to
indicate that the solenoid valve is open.
3. Check that the lever (10) is in the position of
optimum flow, depending on the type of floor
and the type of dirt (see under the paragraph
"FLOW
SOLUTION").
TO CARRY OUT THE FUNCTION OF ONLY DRYING:
1. Activate the selector (15) of up/down squeegee
to lower the squeegee. The signal lamp (21)
indicates that the squeegee is in the working
position.
2. Press the switch (16) of the suction motors to
start the suction system. The signal lamp (18)
indicates that the machine is drying.
Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the
selector (8), pressing the accelerator pedal and
adjusting the speed of the forward movement with
the selector (9), the machine starts to proceed and
THE DETERGENT in automatic mode all the working functions
previously set are activated.
In manual mode every function of the machine
has to be activated or deactivated manually.

BRUSHES BASE SIDE MOVEMENT

(version 85)
This device is present only on the model 85 to
permit to work better with the brushes near the
edges on the right side.
The function is activated pressing the switch of the
brushes base side movement (13) on the right side.
The signal lamp (25) indicates that the brushes base
is in the position of the side movement on the
right.
At every impulse of lowering and operation of the
brushes, the function of the preset side movement
is activated, both in manual as in automatic mode.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT

SIDE BRUSH (OPTIONAL ONLY ON MODEL 100)

The machine can be equipped with a side brush
that permits to clean near the edges on the right
side.
To assemble the brush, the device has to be in
rested position at machine shut off. Fit in the brush
into the plate seat under the brush base turning it
until the three metal buttons are properly seated in
their slots; rotate energically the brush to push the
button towards the coupling spring until it gets
blocked. The figure shows the rotating sense for the
brush coupling. For the uncoupling rotate in the
opposite direction.
The function is activated by pressing the switch (13)
independently from the operational use ((manual,
automatic and break washing).
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT OF THE SIDE BRUSH:
If the floor remains wet in the central part, it is
necessary to load more the weight in the rear part
of the squeegee, screwing down of some turns the
relative screw, as shown in the figure.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION FLOW
OF THE SIDE BRUSH:
During the first metres check that the detergent
solution flow on the side brush is suitable. The flow
adjuster of the detergent solution is already set in
the warehouse to satisfy the cleaning of most
floors. If necessary, modify the quantity of the
detergent solution on the floor through the lever of
the flow adjuster (1).
