Through the solution valve (D) it is possible to empty
the detergent tank and to recover the detergent.
STARTING OF THE MACHINE
A safety device avoids the machine's movement if
the operator is not seated correctly on the guiding
place.
To switch on the machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (24) clockwise to switch on
the machine. Automatically, the machine gets ready
in manual (MAN) mode and in forward movement
with the quick speed (signal lamp 22).
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. Pressing the push button (5) the functioning of
BREAK WASHING is chosen and the transfer opera-
tions of the machine are carried out (see under par-
agraph "FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT").
When the signal lamp (4) is on, then the machine is
in BREAK WASHING mode.
5. Pressing the push button (6) the automatic (AU-
TO) functioning is chosen, while pressing the push
button (3), the functioning of the machine becomes
manual (MAN).
A. When the signal lamp (7) is on, the machine is
functioning in automatic (AUTO) model and the ma-
chine activates and deactivates all the working func-
tions in an automatic mode (see under paragraph
"WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE").
B. When the signal lamp (2) is on, the machine is
functioning in manual (MAN) mode and it is possible
to choose if:
I. to carry out the only transfer of the machine
without activating or deactivating the working
functions.
II. to activate separately only the controls relative
to the washing function with the brushes (see un-
der paragraph "WORKING IN MANUAL MODE").
III. to activate separately only the controls relative
to the drying function with the squeegee (see un-
der paragraph "WORKING IN MANUAL MODE").
ATTENTION:
In manual mode every function of the machine
has to be activated or deactivated manually.
FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT
It is recommended to carry out always the mere
transfer of the machine in mode (BREAK WASHING).
To proceed to activate the movement of the machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (24) clockwise to switch on
the machine.
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. Pressing the push button (5) the functioning of
BREAK WASHING is chosen to carry out the mere
transfer of the machine. In fact, in this mode the
washing functions of the machine are not working
and only the traction system functions. When the
signal lamp (4) is on, then the machine is in BREAK
WASHING mode.
5. Check through the signal lamp (15) that the
parking brake is not inserted and eventually release
it (see under paragraph EMERGENCY-PARKING
BRAKE").
6. Positioning the selector (28) forward, the forward
drive is chosen, while positioning it back, the rear
drive is chosen.
7. Press the accelerator pedal placed on the right
part of the platform to start the machine.
8. Adjust the movement speed in forward pressing
every time the push button (21) to choose the slow
one (at the maximum 3,6 km/h is reached) or the
fast one (at the maximum 5 km/h is reached). The
signal lamp (22) indicates that the fast drive is se-
lected, while signal lamp (23) indicates that the slow
drive is selected.
9. In backward movement, when the machine is
moving, an intermittent warning device is activated.
HORN
The machine is equipped with a horn which is acti-
vated pressing the push button (1).
WORKING BRAKE
To stop the machine during normal working situa-
tions, it is sufficient to release the accelerator pedal,
because the machine has got an electronic brake
system. To restart, press again the accelerator pedal.
EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE
In case of an emergency press the pedal of the
emergency and parking brake (1) placed on the left
side.
To insert the parking brake press the brake pedal (1)
and simultaneously move downwards the lever (2)
placed on the left side of the steering column.
25
On the instrument board the signal lamp (15) comes
on which signals that the parking brake is inserted.
To release the parking brake, it is sufficient to press
the brake pedal (1) and automatically it is released.
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 move-
ment.
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 op-
erator's work.
1. Activate the machine (see under paragraph
"STARTING OF THE MACHINE").
2. Pressing the push button (6) the automatic (AU-
TO) functioning is chosen. When the signal lamp (7)
is on, then the machine is functioning in automatic
(AUTO) mode.
3. Check that the knob of the solution valve (27) is
in the position of optimum flow, depending on the
type of floor and the type of dirt (see under the par-
agraph "FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SO-
LUTION").
4. Position the selector (28) forward to choose the
forward drive.
5. Adjust the movement speed in forward with the
push button (21) (see under paragraph "FORWARD
AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT").
6. Pressing the accelerator pedal, the machine be-
gins to proceed and in automatic mode all the work-
ing 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 recov-
er the dirty water from the floor.
Positioning backwards the selector (28) to choose
the rear drive and pressing the accelerator pedal the
rear drive starts, the squeegee lifts automatically and
will then return to lower itself during the next for-
ward movement.
If the accelerator pedal is released for more than
3 seconds, automatically all the functions are be-
ing switched off and both the brushes base as the
squeegee are being lifted.
Pressing again the pedal, the machine starts to
move again and in automatic mode all the work-
ing functions are reactivated.
