INSTALLING THE BATTERY CHARGER
•
Install the battery charger in a ventilated and dry place, far from heat sources and corrosive
environments.
•
Protect the mains with a delayed switch or with a load fuse higher than the max. power
consumption of the battery charger.
•
Observe the polarity of the battery socket (black cables are identified by s and -).
CHOOSING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION
For a good cleaning of the floor, it is important to choose the proper detergent solution. If
necessary, ask the supplier or a competent person for the proper solution. Keep in mind that a too
strong chemical agent can compromise the long life of each machine. It is necessary to use a low-
sudsing detergent solution, or an antifoaming additive, in order not to damage the vacuum motor. If
it is impossible to get these products, use some vinegar to avoid foam, pouring 50cc of it in the
recovery tank before scrubbing.
STARTING AND PREPARING THE MACHINE
If the scrubber is connected to the battery charger (having finished the charge operation), detach the
battery charger plug from the socket (located on the machine) coming from the battery . Then,
connect the plug of the machine to this latter. Close the battery cover again. The machine should be
operated by turning the master key switch. Then, proceed with the water loading described under
the paragraph (par.). Perform the scrubbing once the work place has been reached.
SCRUBBING
The scrubbing operation is very delicate, as the operator’s experience must be used to decide upon
the brush type, the requirement of a possible double scrubbing operation, the right cleanser choice
and the right machine adjustments: if only one of these factors is inadequate, the scrubbing
operation can give very poor results. If the floor is very dirty or difficult to be cleaned, a double
scrubbing operation is recommended. In this first phase, the squeegee must be lifted and the brushes
must be in working position. Start the brushes and pass the machine over a surface of some tenth sq.
mt. Let the detergent solution on the floor to dissolve the dirt, then pass the machine again. For this
second machine passage, lower the brushes and bring the squeegee in contact with the floor.
Look at the floor after this second passage and decide if the scrubbing operation was enough or if an
additional operation is required.To perform the scrubbing procedure, turn the brush motor ignition
switch on, lower the brushes by screw jack switch, and operate the water adjusting lever. Water
should be metered so as to grant a well-wet surface after the brushes, however without causing any
splashes or overflows from the squeegee due to an excessive quantity of water. If double scrubbing
is not performed, lower the squeegee after placing the run switch in forward position. The squeegee
is lowered by means of the pedal. The vacuum motors are operated by means of the switch. Once
the scrubbing and drying procedure are finished, first of all close the water with the lever , then lift
the brushes by means of the pedal and the squeegee by means of the pedal. Finally, turn the motors
off.
