COMAC ANTEA 50E, Use And Maintenance Manual, Page: 13 / 20

DRYING
To carry out “DRYING” tasks, proceed as follows:
1. Carry out all the checks in the paragraph “ STARTING WORK ”.
2. Lower the squeegee unit by means of the lever (1) on the back of the appliance ( Fig.1 ).
3. By activating the dead man's lever (2), the machine will start to move (
Fig.2
).
4. Start the vacuum motor, set the vacuum motor command switch (3) to “I” ( Fig.3 ).
The machine will now work at its maximum efficiency level until the batteries run down.
ATTENTION : if the dead man's lever is released during the drying operation, the vacuum motor
will continue working for another few seconds so that all the liquid in the vacuum hose can be
removed.
The drying without scrubbing operation should only be carried out if
beforehand the device was used to carry out scrubbing without drying.
REGULATING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION
To adjust the amount of detergent solution on the brush, proceed as follows:
1. Fully open the flow from the tap on the back of the appliance by pulling the knob (1) on the back of
the appliance downwards ( Fig.1 ).
2. By pushing the dead man's lever (2) the brush motor will start operating and the solenoid valve will
distribute detergent solution to the brush ( Fig.2 ).
3. During the first few meters, check that the quantity of solution is enough to wet the floor, but not so
much as to come out of the splash guard; the detergent disposal quantity can be adjusted by means
of the knob (1) on the appliance's rear.
ATTENTION : If the water system does not work, see the paragraph “ CHECKING AND CLEANING
THE DETERGENT SOLUTION FILTER-CAP ”.
REGULATING THE FORWARD SPEED
The traction of this appliance is obtained by means of the brush which, working with the right weight
distribution, is able to pull the appliance forwards. To regulate the forward speed, proceed as follows:
1. Adjust the forward speed by turning the knob (1) on the front of the appliance ( Fig.1 ).
ATTENTION : turning the knob (1) clockwise tilts the brush forward, thus increasing the friction
with the floor and thereby increasing the speed of the appliance.
ATTENTION : turning the knob (1) counter-clockwise tilts the brush backward, thus decreasing the
friction with the floor and thereby decreasing the speed of the appliance.
2. Get in the driving seat, behind the machine.
3. Set the main switch (2) to “ON - I” ( Fig.2 ).
4. Press the dead man's levers (3), positioned under the control handlebars ( Fig.3 ).
5. Check that the adjustment carried out is as required, otherwise adjust the knob again (1).
OVERFLOW DEVICE
The appliance is equipped with a mechanical device (float) under the recovery tank cap that, when the
recovery tank is full, shuts off the air to the vacuum motor intake to protect it; the sound of the vacuum
motor will then be deeper. If this is the case, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the brush head body off the floor by pressing the pedal (1) on the back of the appliance ( Fig.1 ).
2. Switch off the vacuum motor, set the vacuum motor command switch (2) to “0” ( Fig.2 ).
3. Raise the squeegee body off the ground using the lever (3) on the back of the appliance ( Fig.3 ).
4. Switch off the appliance by setting the main switch (4) to “0” ( Fig.4 ).
5. Take the appliance to the location intended for the discharge of dirty water and empty the recovery
tank (see paragraph“ RECOVERY TANK CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE ” and “ CONTROL AND
MAINTENANCE OF THE RECOVERY TANK FILTER AND FLOAT SYSTEM ”).
At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following operations:
1. Raise the brush head body off the floor by pressing the pedal (1) on the back of the appliance ( Fig.1 ).
2. Switch off the vacuum motor, set the vacuum motor command switch (2) to “0” ( Fig.2 ).
3. Raise the squeegee body off the floor, using the lever (3) on the back of the appliance ( Fig.3 ).
4. Switch off the appliance, setting the main switch (4) to “0” ( Fig.4 ).
5. Take the appliance to the dedicated dirty water drainage area.
6. Carry out all the procedures listed in the paragraph “ RECOMMENDED PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ”
indicated in the column “AT THE END OF THE WORK”.
7. Take the appliance to the designated machine storage place.
ATTENTION : Park the appliance in an enclosed place, on a flat surface; near the appliance there
must be no objects that could either damage it, or be damaged through contact with it.
8. Take all the necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see " MACHINE
SAFETY ’”).
ATTENTION
: if the appliance is not used for more than a day, remove the brush from the brush
head body (read the paragraph “ CHECKING AND MAINTAINING THE BRUSH ”) and the
squeegee support from the squeegee body (read the paragraph “ CHECKING AND MAINTAINING
THE SQUEEGEE BODY ”.)
