6. 

Adjust the detergent solution flow (read 

ADJUSTING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION (VERSIONS 

WITHOUT CDS)

” or “

ADJUSTING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION (VERSIONS WITH CDS)

” )

7.  By activating the dead man's lever (4), the machine will start to move (

Fig.4

).

8. 

During the first few metres of work, check that the squeegee rubber blades touch the floor evenly. If 

the rubber blade's tilt needs to be increased in the middle, tighten the screw (5) (

Fig.5

). To decrease 

its tilt, simply turn the screw (5) in the opposite direction.

ATTENTION

: Loosen the locknut (6) before turning the screw (5). When finished, remember to 

secure the screw by tightening the locknut (6).

9.  During working operation, the rear rubber blade should be slightly tilted backwards by about 30°- 45° 

with respect to the floor along its whole length. If you need to adjust the height of the rubber blades 

in relation to the floor, turn the knob (7) (the diagram only shows the left knob) counter-clockwise to 

raise the squeegee or clockwise to lower it (

Fig.6

).

ATTENTION

: the right and left wheels must be adjusted to the same level, so the squeegee can 

work parallel to the floor.

CHECKING AND MAINTAINING THE RECOVERY TANK FILTER-FLOAT

Careful cleaning of the recovery tank filter-float guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer 

vacuum motor lifespan.

Proceed as follows to clean the recovery tank filter-float:

1.  Take the device to the dedicated maintenance area.

2.  Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see "

MACHINE SAFETY

’”).

ATTENTION

: users are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk of serious 

injury to hands.

3.  Grip the handle (1) on the back of the recovery tank cover and remove it (

Fig.1

).

4.  Rotate the recovery tank cover support (2). The optional support is positioned on the left side of the 

appliance (

Fig.2

).

5.  Insert the clamp (3) of the recovery tank cover in the slot (4) on the recovery tank cover support 

(

Fig.3

).

6. 

Remove the float cover (5), turning it in the direction of the arrow (

Fig.4

).

7. 

Remove the vacuum filter (6) and clean it (

Fig.5

).

ATTENTION

: you are advised to use a jet of air to remove the impurities before cleaning the filter. 

Position the filter at least 20cm from the air jet.

ATTENTION

: do not use highly corrosive products to clean the filter, to avoid damaging it.

8. 

Remove the upper part of the float (7), turning it in the direction of the arrow (

Fig.6

).

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE SOLUTION TANK

Proceed as follows to empty the solution tank:

1.  Take the device to the dedicated maintenance area.

2.  Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see "

MACHINE SAFETY

’”).

ATTENTION

: users are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk of serious 

injury to hands.

3. 

Close the flow from the tap on the back of the appliance by pulling the tap command knob (1) on the 

back of the appliance upwards (

Fig.1

).

4.  Remove the solution tank level tube from its seat (2), empty the solution tank (

Fig.2

).

ATTENTION

:  the  place  designated  for  this  operation  must  comply  with  current  environmental 

protection regulations.

ATTENTION

: Before

 removing the solution tank level tube from its seat (2), close the drainage cap 

on the tube itself

.

5. 

To facilitate the outflow of water from the solution tank, remove the solution tank water inlet cap (3) 

on the left side of the appliance (

Fig.3

).

6.  Remove the solution tank drainage cap (4) from its seat, unscrewing it in the direction of the arrow 

(

Fig.4

).

7.  Repeat the operations in reverse order to reassemble all the parts.

CHECKING AND MAINTAINING THE BRUSH

Careful cleaning of the brush guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer brush head 

gearmotor lifespan. To clean the brush, proceed as follows:

1.  Take the device to the dedicated maintenance area.

2.  Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see "

MACHINE SAFETY

’”).

ATTENTION

: users are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk of serious 

injury to hands.

3. 

Raise the brush head body off the floor and press the brush head control pedal (1) on the rear of 

the device (

Fig.1

).

4.  If the splash guard is present, release the retainer spring (2) on the brush head splash guards (

Fig.2

).

5.  Remove the retainer blade (3) and the splash guard (4) (

Fig.3

).

6.  With the brush head raised, turn it to extract the button from the coupling spring. The photo (

Fig.4

shows the rotation direction for removing the brush.

7.  If the splash guard is present, release the retainer spring (2) on the brush head splash guards (

Fig.2

).

8.  Remove the retainer blade (3) and the splash guard (4) (

Fig.3

).

9.  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.

10. Clean the brush under running water to remove any impurities from its bristles. Check that the bristles 

are not worn; in the event of excessive wear, replace the brush (the bristles should be at least 10 mm 

long). Read “

ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH

” to replace the brush.

ATTENTION

:  the  place  designated  for  this  operation  must  comply  with  current  environmental 

protection regulations.

11. Reassemble the splash guard (read “

ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH HEAD SPLASH GUARD

”).

Fig.7

).

9. 

Remove  the  float  (9)  (

Fig.7

). Rinse the inside with a jet of 

water. If necessary, use a spatula to remove the sludge that 

has accumulated at the bottom of the float.

ATTENTION

:  if  the  polyurethane  ring  (10)  on  the  float 

(

Fig.7

)  is  damaged  or  excessively  worn,  contact  your 

nearest assistance centre.

10. 

Repeat the operations in reverse order to reassemble all 

the parts.
