Close the element plugs and lower the top tank.
Hold the connectors with the hands; don't pull them
using the cables.
Reconnect the battery connector to the connector on
the machine.

SQUEEGEE AND SPLASH GUARD
ASSEMBLY, DISASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENT
The squeegee is the main component that ensures
perfect drying.
6.2.1. 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 E - 3).
Insert the openings of the squeegee body in the
brackets of the oscillating support.
Fully tighten the squeegee knobs of the support
(Photo E - 3) in order to block the squeegee on the
support.
Firmly insert the machine suction hose into the
squeegee body (Photo E - 5).
6.2.2. 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 E - 5).
Loosen the connections connection knobs on the
squeegee support (Photo E - 3).
Pull back the squeegee body to detach it from the
brackets of the oscillating support.
6.2.3. SQUEEGEE BLADES DISASSEMBLY/
ASSEMBLY
Disassemble the squeegee from its support (see 7.2.2)
Unscrew the knobs ( Photo E - 6 ), remove the bolts
and the metal bar holders of the squeegee blades. Re-
move the rubber blades from the squeegee body. To
assemble the new blades, place the metal bar holders
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 squeegee body with the
the bolts in its holes; place the metal bar hol- ders and
block the blades screwing the fixing knobs ( Photo E
- 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.
6.2.4. SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
The knob screw on the squeegee support (Photo
E - 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 E - 6), 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 E - 4 ; Photo E - 6 ) 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.
6.2.5. SPLASH GUARD ASSEMBLY/
DISASSEMBLY
The splash guard is assembled to the brush plate
(Photo A-6) 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.
6.3.
ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY
(BRUSHES, PAD DRIVERS AND ABRASIVE
DISKS)
• Never use the machine if brushes or pad drivers
and abrasive disks are not perfectly installed.
Assembly:
Make sure that the brush plate is raised; otherwise lift
it by following the instructions provided in the spe-
cific section.
Make sure that the ignition key on the control panel
is in position "0".
Bring the brushes (or the guide disks equipped with
abrasive disks) near the connections, under the brush
plate; lift them, bring them through the centering
flange, and turn them opposite the rotation direction
until you hear the stable "click" connection.
• Do not allow the length of the rows of brushes to
become lower than 1 cm.
• Do not allow the thickness of the abrasive disks to
become less than 1 cm.
Working with excessively worn brushes or excessively
thin abrasive disks may damage the machine and the
floor.
Regularly check the wear on these parts before start-
ing to work.
Disassembly or replacement:
Make sure that the brush plate is raised; otherwise lift
it by following the instructions provided in the spe-
cific section.
Make sure that the ignition key on the control panel
is in position "0".
While holding the brushes (or the guide disks) with
the hands under the plate, turn them in the rotation
