APPLIANCE SAFETY
The stages for making the appliance safe, and thereby allowing all the operations to be carried out in
complete safety, are as follows:
1. Make sure the appliance is off, if not set the main switch (1) to “OFF - 0” ( Fig.1 ).
2. Disconnect the plug on the appliance's power cable from the mains socket ( Fig.2 ).
3. Bring the brush head into contact with the floor, using the brush head control pedal (2) ( Fig.3 ).
4. Bring the squeegee into contact with the floor, turn the squeegee control lever (3) counter-clockwise
( Fig.4 ).
HOUR METER
On the upper part of the display, you will see the total operating time. The line visualised shows the
operating hours; the number consists of five figures, plus one figure after the point “.” to show the tenth
of an hour.
ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH
For packaging reasons, the brush is supplied disassembled from the device. To assemble it on the brush
head body, proceed as follows:
1. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see " MACHINE SAFETY ’”).
2. Raise the brush head body off the floor and press the brush head control pedal (1) on the rear of
the device ( Fig.1 ).
ATTENTION : these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible
contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
3. If the splash guard is present, release the retainer spring (2) on the brush head splash guards ( Fig.2 ).
4. Remove the retainer blade (3) and the splash guard (4) ( Fig.3 ).
5. With the brush head UP, insert the brush in the plate housing underneath the brush head, turning it
until the three buttons engage with the niches on the plate itself. Turn until the pin is pushed towards
the coupling spring and is locked into place. The photo ( Fig.4 ) shows the rotation direction for brush
coupling.
6. Replace the splash guard, inserting first the rear left part and then the right part. Remember to fix it to
the brush head using the retainer blade.
7. Fix the retainer blade to the brush head with the aid of the spring.
ASSEMBLING THE SPLASH GUARD BRUSH HEAD
For packaging reasons, the brush head splash guard is supplied disassembled from the device, and
must be assembled on the brush head body as follows:
1. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see " MACHINE SAFETY ’”).
2. Raise the brush head body off the floor and press the brush head control pedal (1) on the rear of
the device ( Fig.1 ).
ATTENTION : these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible
contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
3. Release the retainer spring (2) on the brush head splash guards ( Fig.2 ).
4. Remove the retainer blade (3) ( Fig.3 ).
5. Fit the splash guard ( Fig.4 ), inserting first the left part and then the right part. Remember to fix it to
the brush head using the retainer blade.
6. Fix the retainer blade to the brush head with the aid of the spring.
ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE BODY
For packaging reasons, the squeegee body is supplied disassembled from the device, and must be
assembled on the squeegee support as follows:
1. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see " MACHINE SAFETY ’”).
ATTENTION : these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible
contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
2. Make sure the squeegee body support is raised off the floor. If it isn't, turn the squeegee control lever
(1) on the back of the machine in the direction shown by the arrow (
Fig.1
).
3. Unscrew the knobs (2) in the squeegee body pre-assembly ( Fig.2 ).
4. First insert the left pin (3) on the squeegee body into the left slit (4) in the squeegee support ( Fig.3 ),
making sure that the washer and spring adhere to the top of the squeegee support.
5. Insert the right pin (5) on the squeegee body into the right slit (6) in the squeegee support ( Fig.4 ),
making sure that the washer and spring adhere to the top of the squeegee support.
6. Tighten the knobs (2), ensuring that the washer and spring adhere to the top part of the squeegee
support ( Fig.5 ).
7. Insert the vacuum tube (7) in the sleeve (8) in the squeegee body ( Fig.6 ).
ATTENTION : the squeegee has been adjusted beforehand, nevertheless if it is necessary read
the section “ ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY ”.
FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK WITH WATER
Before filling the solution tank, carry out the following steps:
1. Take the machine to the dedicated solution tank filling area.
2. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see " MACHINE SAFETY ’”).
3. Check that the solution tank discharge cap (1) is open. If it isn't, open it ( Fig.1 ).
4. Check that the filter plug of the water system (2) at the rear right part of the machine, has been
tightened, and if not turn it clockwise ( Fig.2 ).
