13 Operations Manual Hurricane 700 XTT / Hurricane 850 XTT
The blades of the squeegee are used to scrub from the floor the film of water and detergent thus allowing a perfect drying. As
long as time goes by the continuous scraping rounds off and splits the sharp edge in contact with the floor, thus reducing the
drying efficacy and therefore requiring the replacement of the blades. Therefore, often check their state of wear and tear.
To obtain a perfect drying action it is necessary to adjust the squeegee in such a way that when it is in operation, the rear blade
lip is bent about 45 degrees with respect to the floor at all points. It is possible to adjust the inclination of the blades by screwing
down the nuts (fig. 9, ref. 1): by unscrewing the nuts the blade inclination is reduced, while by screwing the nuts the blade
inclination is increased. Moreover, check that the suction hole of the squeegee is not clogged, to let dirty water to be perfectly
drained from the floor.
Moving The Machine
To displace the machine, do as follows:
• Lift the squeegee;
• Raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (fig. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up;
• Disengage the parking brake via the pedal (fig. 8, ref. 12);
• Insert the key to release the emergency button (fig. 8, ref. 2);
• Below the handgrip is a lever (fig. 8, ref. 6): by pulling the lever up (fig. 10, ref. 2) or pressing it down (fig. 10, ref. 1),
according to whether you wish to move forward or back, the drive motor is switched on and the machine will begin to
move;
• Adjust the running speed via the potentiometer (fig. 8, ref. 1);
• Once you have reached your destination, engage the parking brake via the pedal (fig. 8, ref. 12).
Never leave the machine unmanned or parked with the parking brake disengaged or the key inserted in the emergency button. Do not
engage the parking brake when the machine is moving.
Installing And Replacing The Brushes/Pad Drivers
Do not work if the brushes or drive discs are not perfectly installed.
Brush Head
Removing:
• Raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (fig. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up;
• Press the brush release button (fig. 8, ref. 4) for a couple of seconds: when the button is released, the brushes will be
released.
Installing:
• Position the brushes side by side at the front of the machine;
• Move forward with the machine until the head is positioned above the brushes and they are centred;
• Press the brush up-down button (fig. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow down and keep it pressed until the second led of the brush
pressure indicator comes on (fig. 8, ref.
8); in this phase the brush motor may
come on and then switch off for a few
moments: this is a normal part of the brush
engagement procedure.
In particular conditions, the brushes may not engage
correctly. In this case the head will vibrate. The brushes
must be disassembled and refitted.
