ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH
For packaging reasons, the brushes are supplied disassembled from the machine. To assemble them
on the brush head body, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “
MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES
”).
CAUTION
: these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible
contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
2. Go to the front of the appliance.
3.
If the splash guard carters (1) are fitted, remove them (
Fig.1
) and lay them carefully on the
ground.
4. With the brush head UP, insert the brush in the plate housing underneath the brush head, turning
it until the three buttons engage with the notches on the plate itself.
5. Press the brush-holder plate retainer (2) and simultaneously rotate the brush in the direction
shown in the image (
Fig.2
).
ATTENTION
:
Fig.2
shows the rotation direction of the left-hand brush.
6. When brush rotation is prevented, turn until the button on the brush is engaged in the coupling
spring on the brush-holder plate.
7. Reassemble the brush head splash guard carters.
ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE BODY
For packaging reasons, the squeegee body comes disassembled from the machine. To assemble it
on the squeegee support, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “
MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES
”).
CAUTION
: these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible
contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
2. Unscrew the knobs (1) in the squeegee body pre-assembly (
Fig.1
).
3. First of all, insert the left-hand pin (2) on the squeegee body in the left slit (3) in the squeegee
support (
Fig.2
), so that the bushing adheres to the walls of the slit.
4. Repeat the same operation for the right-hand pin.
5. Insert the vacuum tube (4) in the sleeve (5) in the squeegee body (
Fig.3
).
NB
: the squeegee has already been adjusted, but refer to “
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE
BODY RUBBER BLADES
” if you need any information.
DETERGENT SOLUTION (VERSIONS WITHOUT HDC)
After filling the solution tank with clean water add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration
and manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label. To prevent the formation of an excessive
amount of foam that could damage the vacuum motor, use the minimum percentage of detergent
required.
CAUTION
: protective gloves should always be worn before handling detergents or acidic or
alkaline solutions, to avoid serious injury to the hands.
CAUTION
: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for
scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
ATTENTION
: acid or alkaline maintenance detergents can be used, as long as they have pH
values between 4 and 10, and do not contain: oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine,
formaldehyde, mineral solvents. The detergents used must be suitable for use with scrubbing
machines.
CAUTION
: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum
quantity of antifoam liquid in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids.
NB
: to make it easier to measure the detergent on the cap/measuring device, there are notches
indicating the detergent percentage quantities that can be used. The notches range from a
minimum of 0.1% to a maximum of 0.5%.
FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK WITH WATER
Before filling the solution tank, carry out the following steps:
1.
Take the machine to the usual place for filling the solution tank.
2. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “
MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES
”).
3. Check the solution tank drainage cap (1) (on the rear right-hand side of the machine) is tight. If it
isn't, turn it clockwise (
Fig.1
).
4.
Check the water filter cap (2) (on the rear right-hand side of the machine) is tight. If it isn't, turn it
clockwise (
Fig.2
).
The solution tank can be filled with water in three different ways:
•
Removing the cap/measuring device (3) (
Fig.3
) and filling the solution tank by means of a rubber
tube or a bucket (
Fig.4
).
•
Using the filler tube (4) (
Fig.5
), which supports the water tube on its own. In this case, remember
to remove the cap/measuring device (3) to ensure the air is properly vented.
•
Using the optional system for automatic clean water top-up. This system has a float for avoiding
any overflow.
5. Fill with clean water, at a temperature no greater than 122°F and no less than 50°F. The amount
inside the tank can be seen by means of the level tube (5) (
Fig.6
) on the rear left-hand side of
the machine.
FILLING THE DETERGENT CANISTER (VERSIONS WITH HDC)
After filling the solution tank with clean water, you must fill the detergent canister. Before filling the
canister, carry out the following steps:
1.
Take the machine to the usual place for filling the solution tank.
2. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “
MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES
”).
3. Grip the handle (1) on the right-hand side of the recovery tank (
Fig.1
) and turn the tank as far as it
will go, until it reaches the maintenance position.
4. Disconnect the male insert (2) from the female insert (3) on the cap (4) of the detergent canister
(5) (
Fig.2
).
ATTENTION
: before pulling on the male insert, push the lever on the female insert.
5. Grip the handle (6) on the detergent canister (5) to remove it from the compartment in the solution
tank (
Fig.3
).
6. Remove the cap (4) from the detergent canister (
Fig.4
).
7. Fill the canister with the required detergent, as indicated on the label supplied with the machine.
CAUTION
: protective gloves should always be worn before handling detergents or acidic or
alkaline solutions, to avoid serious injury to the hands.
WARNING
: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum
quantity of antifoam liquid in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids.
WARNING
: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for
scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
ATTENTION
: the dosing system is suitable for frequent maintenance cleaning. acid or alkaline
maintenance detergents can be used, as long as they have pH values between 4 and 10, and
do not contain: oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine, formaldehyde, mineral solvents. The
detergents used must be suitable for use with scrubbing machines. Wash the circuit with water
after use if the system is not used daily. The system can be excluded. In case of sporadic use of
detergents with pH between 1-3 or 11-14, use the floor scrubbing machine in the traditional way
by adding the detergent in the clean water tank and excluding the dosing circuit.
8. Make sure you tighten the cap (4) properly to avoid any leakage of liquid while working. Make sure
the detergent suction filter (7) is correctly positioned on the bottom of the canister (
Fig.5
).
9. Grip the canister handle (6) to replace the canister (5) in its compartment inside the solution tank.
10. Connect the male insert (2) to the female insert (3) in the cap (4) of the detergent canister (5).
11. Grip the handle (1) on the right-hand side of the recovery tank and turn the tank as far as it will go,
until it reaches the work position.
