CLEANING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSHES (SCRUBBING VERSION)
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. Open the machine's left lateral carter (1) ( Fig.3 ).
2. Remove the left splashguard casing (8), remembering beforehand to move the fixing anchors (9) on the brush head body into the
maintenance position ( Fig.12 ).
3. Press the brush locking pin (10) ( Fig.13 ).
4. Keeping the pin (10) pressed, turn the brush clockwise until it is released ( Fig.14 ).
5. Turn until the button is pushed towards the outside of the coupling spring and is locked into place.
6. Clean the brush under a stream of running water to remove any impurities from its bristles. Check the wear status of the bristles and replace
the brushes if they are excessively consumed (the bristles' protrusion must not be less than 10 mm; this distance is indicated on the brush
by the yellow band). Read the paragraph “ ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSHES (SCRUBBING VERSION) ” when replacing the
brushes.
7. After checking to make sure that the brush is clean, reassemble it and move on to the one on the right hand side.
N.B.: you are advised to invert the right and left-hand brushes every day.
N.B.: The image in Fig.14 indicates the direction of rotation for uncoupling the left brush; the right brush must be turned in the opposite
direction.
ATTENTION: If the brushes are not new however, and have deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position (the
right-hand one on the right, and the left-hand one on the left), to prevent the different inclination of the bristles producing an overload on
the brush motor as well as excessive vibrations.
CLEANING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSHES (SWEEPING VERSION)
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. Open the machine's left lateral carter (1) ( Fig.3 ).
2. With the brush head in its raised position, turn the knobs (11) that hold the left lateral carter (12) in place anti-clockwise (
Fig.15
).
3. Remove the left lateral carter (12) ( Fig.16 ).
4. Extract the brush from inside the tunnel ( Fig.17 ). Clean the brush under a stream of running water to remove any impurities from its bristles.
Check the bristles. If they are excessively worn, replace the brushes (the bristles should protrude by at least 10mm). Read the paragraph
“ FITTING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSHES (SWEEPING VERSION) ” for replacing the brushes.
5. After checking to make sure that the brush is clean, reassemble it and move on to the one at the rear.
N.B.: you are advised to invert the right and left-hand brushes every day.
ATTENTION: If the brushes are not new, and have deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position in order to
prevent the different inclination of the bristles from overloading the brush motor, as well as to prevent excessive vibrations.
4. Thoroughly clean the squeegee body vacuum chamber with a jet of water, and then with a damp cloth (
Fig.9
).
5. Thoroughly clean the squeegee body rear rubber blade (6) with a jet of water, and then with a damp cloth ( Fig.10 ).
6. Thoroughly clean the squeegee body front rubber blade (7) with a jet of water, and then with a damp cloth ( Fig.11 ).
7. Thoroughly clean the vacuum nozzle with a jet of water, and then with a damp cloth.
8. Proceed in the opposite order to reassemble all the parts.
CLEANING THE LATERAL BRUSH (SCRUBBING VERSION)
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. Open the machine's right later carter (13) ( Fig.18 ).
2. Move the brush release lever downwards (14) (
Fig.19
).
3. Remove the brush from the side brush head ( Fig.20 ).
4. Clean the brush under a stream of running water to remove any impurities from its bristles. Check the bristles. If they are excessively worn,
replace the brushes (the bristles should protrude by at least 10mm). See “ FITTING THE SIDE BRUSH (SCRUBBING VERSION) ” when
replacing the brush.
5. After checking to make sure that the brush is clean, reassemble it.
CLEANING THE LATERAL BRUSH (SWEEPING VERSION)
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. Stand on the right side of the machine.
2. Remove the wing nut (15) fixing the side brush to the gear motor, turning the wing nut anti-clockwise ( Fig.21 ).
3. Remove the washer (16) holding the side brush in place ( Fig.22 ).
4. Take out the side brush from the pin in the gear motor.
5. Clean the brush under a stream of running water to remove any impurities from its bristles. Check the bristles. If they are excessively worn,
