MACHINE PREPARATION
5.
Check that the quick coupling (4) under the detergent tank is properly inserted.
6.
Unscrew the cap (3) of the tank on the right-hand side of the machine and fill with liquid detergent as
indicated on the label supplied with the machine. Check the screw cap is well closed, to avoid any
liquid leaking out while the machine is being used.
To regulate the water/detergent mixture, carefully read the “REGULATING THE DETERGENT WITH THE
CDS SYSTEM” paragraph.
WARNING: The DS automatic dosing system is designed to work with any
liquid detergent. For this reason, the percentage of detergent in the solution is
subject to a maximum error of 5% compared with the nominal value selected.
WARNING: The dosing system is suitable for frequent maintenance cleaning.
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.
Wash the circuit with water after use if the system is not used daily. The system
is can be excluded. In case of sporadic use of detergents with pH between 1-3
or 11-14, use the scrubbing machine in the traditional way by adding the
detergent in the clean water tank and excluding the dosing circuit.
WARNING: Always use detergents suitable for scrubbing machines (as
indicated on their label). Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents
without this indication.
In addition, you are advised to always use low foam detergents.
Do not use pure acids or detergents with a stronger gradation than that
indicated on the label supplied.
WARNING: Protective gloves should always be worn before handling
detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious injury to hands.

DETERGENT REGULATION (VERSION WITHOUT CDS)
First, fully open the tap in the rear part of the machine by turning the lever (1) anticlockwise. Choose the
required work programme using the I-Drive device; press the accelerator pedal to operate the brushes, the
machine starts to move and the detergent solution starts to come out. In the first few metres, check that the
quantity of solution is sufficient to wet the floor, but not so much that it goes beyond the splash guard. The
amount of detergent released can be adjusted by turning the lever (1): turn it clockwise to reduce the flow
and anticlockwise to increase it. If turned fully to the right the flow of detergent is stopped. Bear in mind that
the correct amount of solution is always depends on the nature of the floor, the degree of dirt and the
forward speed.
