SCRUBBING AND DRYING (BT - BTS - BTO VERSIONS)
To carry out “SCRUBBING AND DRYING” tasks, proceed as follows:
1. Carry out all the checks indicated in the section “ STARTING WORK (BT - BTS - BTO versions) ”.
2. For versions BT - BTS - BTO, lower the brush head body by pressing the brush head control pedal
(1) on the back of the appliance ( Fig. 1 ).
3. For the PM versions, lower the brush head body, press the “BRUSH HEAD COMMAND” button (2)
on the control panel ( Fig. 2 ).
N.B. : As soon as the brush head body is removed from the rest position the control display shows
the symbol (3) ( Fig. 3 ).
4. Lower the squeegee body using the lever (4) on the back of the appliance (
Fig. 4
).
N.B. : As soon as the squeegee body is removed from the rest position the control display shows
the symbol (5) (
Fig. 5
).
N.B. : When both symbols (3) and (5) appear in the control display it means that “SCRUBBING
WITH DRYING” is being carried out ( Fig. 5 ).
5. Pull the knob (6) down and adjust the amount of solution desired ( Fig. 6 ).
N.B. : by pulling the detergent solution flow adjustment knob downwards, the amount of solution in
the water system will increase ( Fig. 6 ).
6. Use the dead man's levers (7) on the instrument panel ( Fig. 7 ).
N.B. : The appliance has two forward speeds. By pushing the dead man's levers beyond the first
CLICK the “ SLOW ” speed is activated, continuing to push the levers beyond the second CLICK
the “ FAST ” speed is activated.
7. Set the required forward speed by turning the knob (8) gradually to the right (
Fig. 8
).
N.B. : For adjustments to the forward speed read the paragraph “ ADJUSTING THE FORWARD
SPEED (BT - BTS - BTO versions) ”.
As soon as the dead man's levers are pressed the traction motor, brush head motor and vacuum motor
will start working. As a result, the solenoid valve will also begin working and detergent solution will be
delivered to the brush.
During the first few metres, check that there is sufficient solution and that the squeegee is drying correctly.
The appliance will now begin to work with full efficiency until the battery is flat or until the detergent
solution has finished.
N.B. : If the dead man's levers are released during the work the appliance will stop moving
froward, the brush motor and the solenoid valve will stop working, while the vacuum motor will
keep working for a set period of time (factory setting is fifteen seconds) and the symbol (4) will
start flashing until the vacuum motor switches off.
N.B. : If the appliance had to be switched off with the brush head and the squeegee body still in
contact with the floor, when switched on again the work display will show the symbols (3) and (5),
indicating that when it was switched off it was carrying out scrubbing with drying ( Fig. 5 ).
