TROUBLESHOOTING
1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY
The machine is fitted with self-restoring safety fuses located in the electric system *beneath the solution tank) that
interrupt the power supply to the brush and suction motors when the machine exceeds the predetermined load. To
restore the power supply to the motor, switch off the machine and wait for the fuses to cool down (about 40 seconds). If
the switch disconnects the current again, contact the FIMAP technical assistance centre.
2. INSUFFICIENT WATER ON THE BRUSHES
1.
Verify that the solution tank filter is clean
2.
Verify that the solenoid valve switch is on
3.
Verify that the quick connection is correctly inserted
4.
Verify that the regulation lever on the water outlet tap
5.
Verify that the vent pin on the solution tank cap is lowered.
3. THE MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN WELL
1.
Check the state of wear and tear of the brushes and, if necessary, replace them. The brushes should be changed
when the bristles are about 10mm long.
4. THE SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY PERFECTLY
1.
Verify that the squeegee rubbers are clean.
2.
Check the suction tubes are correctly inserted in their housing on the squeegee.
3.
Verify that the distributor is clean.
4.
Replace the rubbers, if worn
5. EXCESSIVE FOAM PRODUCTION
Check that a low foam detergent has been used. If necessary, add a small quantity of anti-foam liquid to the recovery
tank.
Remember that, when the floor is not very dirty, more foam is generated. In this case the detergent solution should be
more diluted.
