N.B.: For the sweeping versions, the detergent solution filter is located on the right side of the machine.
4. Open the detergent solution flow to the maximum, and shift the knob on the left hand side of the steering column (13) ( Fig.19 ) upward.
5. When the solution tank is empty, go to the rear of the machine and unscrew the cap (16) for the solution tank dumping system ( Fig.20 ).
6. Go to the left side of the machine and remove the doser cap (17)( Fig.21 ).
7. Clean the inside of the tank with a jet of running water.
8. Once the work has been completed, repeat the operations in reverse order to reassemble all the parts.
In machine versions with the FLR kit, to empty the solution tank, proceed as follows:
1. Close the detergent solution flow, and shift the knob (13) on the left-hand side of the steering column ( Fig.16 ) downwards.
2. Move to the left-hand side of the machine and open the left lateral carter (14) (
Fig.17
).
3. Unscrew the detergent solution filter cap (15) ( Fig.18 ).
N.B.: For the sweeping versions, the detergent solution filter is located on the right side of the machine.
4. Open the detergent solution flow to the maximum, and shift the knob on the left hand side of the steering column (13) (
Fig.19
) upward.
5. When the solution tank is empty, go to the rear of the machine and unscrew the cap (16) for the solution tank dumping system ( Fig.20 ).
6. Grip the seat (18) and turn the seat's support plate to its maintenance position ( Fig.22 ).
7. In order to prevent the seat's support plate from turning, insert the pin (19) into the slit (20) in the seat's support plate ( Fig.23 ).
