6. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 Before any cleaning or servicing work is carried out on the machine and
before any parts are replaced, the following precautions must be taken:
the charging plug must be removed from the wall socket and the key
must be removed from the key switch.
IMPORTANT! Before changing the main fuse, it is ESSENTIAL that the
battery cabling is disconnected from the batteries.
6.2 The tyres should be examined at regular intervals and any foreign
matter such as fragments of metal, splinters of broken glass etc should
be removed.
6.3 Check the state of the squeegee blades regularly and turn or replace if
worn. See also 5.4 and 5.5.
6.4 The filter in the clean water tank should be cleaned regularly at least
twice a week.
6.5 The vacuum motor, water pump and solenoid valve are below the water
tank. The vacuum motor ventilation slits must be checked regularly for
blockages and cleaned if necessary. This is especially important when
the dirt includes large amounts of fluff.
6.6 The dirty water tank should be rinsed out regularly with the drain hose
open (to drain the washing water), to prevent the formation of bacteria.
After finishing cleaning, leave the lid open to allow drying.
IMPORTANT! After each cleaning cycle, the tank should be raised and
left open in order to avoid damage to the lid gasket.
6.7 If not used for long periods, leave the machine with the battery charged
and the charging plug unplugged.
6.8 A general control by authorised IPC GANSOW personnel is
recommended at least once every six months.
6.9 Faulty or unused batteries should be disposed of correctly.
6.10 IMPORTANT! Rooms where batteries are being charged should always
be well ventilated.
