machine is used during the first few weeks, it might not
be caused by actual machine malfunctions. However,
a specialised technician should check the device if the
relative breaker continues to trip.
8.8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
For all the operations described herein, refer to the
instructions and detailed warnings in the relative sections.
8.8.1 DAILY OPERATIONS
Disassemble and check the brushes or the scraper
disks (with the abrasive disks mounted).
Check that there are no foreign bodies that may impede
the movement or efficiency of all cleaning parts.
Check the squeegee: clean the blades and check their
condition/wear.
If Pb-Acid batteries are used, carefully carry out the
operations described by the battery manufacturer.
Charge the batteries.
8.8.2 WEEKLY OPERATIONS
Check and, if necessary, replace or adjust the height
of the splash guard.
Carefully check the profile of the squeegee blades and
replace them, if necessary.
Check that the suction hoses and conduits are not
clogged;
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, adjust the slant
of the action on the floor.
Thoroughly clean the solution and recovery tanks.
For other models with the Pb-Acid battery: check the
level of the electrolyte in all elements and, if necessary,
top up with distilled water. Refer to the battery
manufacturer's detailed instructions.
Lift the battery cover and check under the impermeable
sponge filter for any signs of liquid; if there is any, drain
it off into the dirty water tank, unscrewing the plug on
the bottom of the filter compartment.
8.8.3 OPERATIONS AT EXTENDED INTERVALS
Even though the machine was built with great precision
and conforms to the most severe quality tests, the
electrical and mechanical parts will inevitably be
subjected to wear and aging after extended periods of
use.
For safe and problem-free operation, your machine
should be carefully checked every year by our authorised
technical service centre (or by a specialist in the sector
familiar with all the pertinent safety regulations contained
in this manual).
This type of work may have to be carried out more
frequently if the machine operates in particular/difficult
situations and/or if required maintenance was not
performed.
8.9 RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
You'll always be able to use your machine as efficiently
as possible by maintaining a stock of the most common
consumable materials and by scheduling routine and
extraordinary maintenance. Contact your dealer for a
list of these spare parts.
