The solution tank can be filled with water in three different ways:
•
Removing the cap/measuring device (3) and filling the solution tank by means of a rubber hose or
a bucket (
Fig.3
).
•
Using the filler hose (4) (
Fig.4
). This supports the water hose on its own, but be sure to remove the
cap/measuring device (3) to allow adequate air venting.
• Using the optional system for automatic clean water top-up (5) (
Fig.5
). This system has a float for
avoiding any overflow.
5. Fill with clean water, at a temperature not higher than 50°C and not lower than 10°C. The amount
inside the tank can be seen by means of the level tube (6) (
Fig.6
) on the front left of the seat.
DETERGENT SOLUTION
After filling the solution tank with clean water add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration and
manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label. To prevent the formation of an excessive amount
of foam that could damage the vacuum motor, use the minimum percentage of detergent required.
ATTENTION
: protective gloves should always be worn before handling detergents or acidic or
alkaline solutions, to avoid serious injury to the hands.
ATTENTION
: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for
scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
ATTENTION
: Acid or alkaline maintenance detergent tank be used with pH values between 4 and
10 and that do not contain: oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine, formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
The detergents used must be suitable for use with scrubbing machines.
ATTENTION
: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum
quantity of anti-foam liquid in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids.
ATTENTION
: to make it easier to measure the detergent on the cap/measuring device, there are
two notches indicating the two main detergent percentage quantities that can be used.
Before beginning to work, it is necessary to:
1. Make sure that the recovery tank is empty, if not, empty it completely (see the paragraph “
AND CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK
”).
2. Verify that the quantity of detergent solution in the solution tank is suitable for the type of work you
wish to carry out, otherwise fill the solution tank (see the paragraph "
”). View the level tube (1) in the rear of the machine (
Fig.1
).
3. Make sure that the state of the squeegee rubbers is suitable for the work, if not, carry out maintenance
(see the paragraph “
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE BODY
4. Make sure that the squeegee rubbers are in a working condition, if not, carry out maintenance (see
CHECKING AND MAINTAINING THE SQUEEGEE BODY
5. Make sure the water tap is fully open: the water adjustment knob (2) should be completely down
(
Fig.2
).
6. Check that the solution tank discharge cap (3) is closed. If it isn't, open it (
Fig.3
).
PREPARING TO WORK
STARTING WORK (B versions)
To start working, do as follows:
1. Make all the checks listed in “
2. Connect the plug on the power cable to the mains (
Fig.1
).
3. Get in the driving seat, behind the machine.
4. Set the main switch (1) to “ON - I” (
Fig.2
).
WORK
SCRUBBING WITH DRYING
To carry out “SCRUBBING AND DRYING” tasks, proceed as follows:
1. Carry out all the checks in the paragraph “
2. Lower the brush head body by pressing the brush head control pedal (1) on the back of the appliance
(
Fig.1
).
3. Lower the squeegee body by means of the lever (2) on the back of the appliance (
Fig.2
).
4. By activating the dead man's lever (3), the machine will start to move (
Fig.3
).
5. Start the vacuum motor, set the vacuum motor command switch (4) to “I” (
Fig.4
).
6. Check the detergent solution tap is fully open. If it isn't, turn the lever (5) on the back of the appliance
(
Fig.5
).
7.
During the first few meters, check that the detergent solution coming out is appropriate to the work
to be carried out; if not, adjust it after reading the section "
The appliance will now begin to work with full efficiency until the battery is flat or until the detergent
solution has finished. During the first few metres, check that there is sufficient solution and that the
squeegee is drying correctly.
ATTENTION
: if during the scrubbing - drying operation the dead man's lever is released, the brush
motor and the solenoid valve will stop working, the vacuum motor will continue to work for a few
seconds to ensure all the liquid in the vacuum hose is sucked up.
ATTENTION
: when filling the solution tank, it is good practice to empty the recovery tank using the
special drainage hose.
ATTENTION
:
by pulling the detergent solution flow adjustment knob downwards, the amount of
solution in the water system will increase (
Fig.5
).
SCRUBBING WITHOUT DRYING

5. Check that the detergent solution tap is fully open. If it isn't, turn the lever (4) on the back of the
appliance (

The appliance will now begin to work with full efficiency until the battery is flat or until the detergent
solution has finished. During the first few metres, check that there is sufficient solution.
ATTENTION
: if the dead man's lever is released during the scrubbing and drying operation, the
brush motor and solenoid valve will stop working. To resume work, just press the dead man's
levers.
ATTENTION
:
by pulling the detergent solution flow adjustment knob downwards, the amount of
solution in the water system will increase (
Fig.4
).
