7 OPERATING INFORMATION

7.1 BATTERY CHARGING

Prepare and check the battery charge according to
the instructions provided in the specific section.
Detach the battery connector (the one with the
handle) from the machine power connector and con-
nect it to the battery charger connector.
• Do not connect the battery charger to the scrub-
ber-drier's main wiring connector.
Hold the connectors with the hands; do not pull them
using the cables.
If the machine is equipped with Pb-Acid batteries,
charge only in a well-ventilated area, lift the superior
cover and open the battery plugs.
• Follow the steps indicated in the battery manufa-
cturer's operating and safety manual (see the battery
maintenance section).
If the machine is equipped with GEL batteries (main-
tenance free), follow the instructions indicated here
below.
If the machine is used regularly:
Always keep the batteries connected to the battery
charger when the machine is not being used.
If the machine is not used for extended time periods:
Charge the battery during the night after the last
work period, and then disconnect the battery from
the battery charger.
Charge the battery during the night before using the
machine again.
Intermediate or incomplete charging while working
should be avoided.
If the machine is equipped with Pb-Acid batteries,
use a hydrometer to check the element liquid inten-
sity on a regular basis: if one or more elements are
discharged and the others fully charged, the battery
has been damaged and should be replaced or repai-
red (refer to the battery service manual).
Close the element plugs and lower the superior cover..
Hold the connectors with the hands; don't pull them
using the cables.
Reconnect the battery connector to the connector on
the machine.
7.2 SQUEEGEE AND SPLASH GUARD ASSEMBLY,
DISASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
The squeegee is the main component that ensures
perfect drying.

7.2.1 SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY

Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep the
body raised while completing connections.
Loosen the connection knobs on the squeegee sup-
port (Photo G - 3).
Insert the openings of the squeegee body in the bra-
ckets of the oscillating support.
Fully tighten the squeegee knobs of the support
(Photo G - 3) in order to block the squeegee on the
support.
Firmly insert the machine suction hose into the squee-
gee body (Photo G - 5).

7.2.2 SQUEEGEE DISASSEMBLY

Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep the
body raised while completing connections.
Disconnect the suction hose from the squeegee body
(Photo G - 5).
Loosen the connections connection knobs on the
squeegee support (Photo G - 3).
Pull back the squeegee body to detach it from the bra-
ckets of the oscillating support..

7.2.3 SQUEEGEE BLADES REPLACEMENT

Disassemble the squeegee from its support (see 7.2.2)
Unscrew the knobs ( Photo G - 6 ), remove the bolts
and the metal bar holders of the squeegee blades.
Remove the rubber blades from the squeegee body.
To assemble the new blades, place the metal bar hol-
ders on the front blade; place them on the squeegee
body and insert the bolts in the holes of the squeegee
body.
Place the rear blade on the squeeegee body with the
the bolts in its holes; place the metal bar holders and
block the blades screwing the fixing knobs ( Photo G
- 6 ).
It's normal that the rear strap has to be extended to
centre the connection screws. This will bring it under
the correct tension to avoid folds on the floor and dry
correctly.

7.2.4 SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

The knob screw on the squeegee support (Photo G -
4 ) adjust the squeegee's inclination with respect to
the floor. The two screws on the sides, connected to
the rear wheels of the squeegee (Photo G - 2 ), are to
adjust the pressure of the squeegee to the floor.
When the squeegee is perfectly adjusted, the rear
squeegee blade, sliding as it moves, bends in all
points forming an angle of 45° with the floor.
As the machine operates (advances), it is possible to
operate on the inclination knob and pressure screws
( Photo G - 4 ; Phot G - 2 ) to adjust the inclination and
pressure of the squeegee blades on the floor.
Squeegee drying must be uniform along the entire
drying line: damp patches mean that drying is insuf-
ficient; turn the adjustment knobs to optimise drying.

7.2.5 SPLASH GUARD ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY

The splash guard is assembled to the brush plate with
a spring holder linked to the brush plate itself.
To disassemble the splash guard simply detach the
spring holder and pull the splash guard.
To reassemble, fix the splash guard in the brush plate,
and then hook the steel cable to one side of the plate
and the spring holder to the other side of the brush
plate.
