6.2.
Mounting and adjusting the squeegee
The squeegee (fig. 2, ref. 6) is responsible for the first phase of drying.
To mount the squeegee on the machine, proceed as follows:
1) check that the squeegee mount (fig. 7, ref. 2) is raised, otherwise lift it by means of the
squeegee lever (fig. 7, ref. 5);
2) insert the suction hose sleeve (fig. 7, ref. 4) fully into the squeegee;
3) slacken the two knobs (fig. 7, ref. 3) at the centre of the squeegee;
4) insert the two threaded pins into the slots on the support (fig. 7, ref. 2);
5) fix the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (fig. 7, ref. 3).
The squeegee blades scrape the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare
the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade
in contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring
it to be replaced. The state of wear should be checked frequently.
For perfect drying, the squeegee must be adjusted in such a way that the edge of the rear
blade bends during operation by about 45° with resp ect to the floor at every point. Adjust
the angle of the blade during operation by regulating the height of the two wheels
positioned behind the squeegee (fig. 7 ref. 1).
6.3. Moving the machine when not in operation
To move the machine, proceed as follows:
1) raise the squeegee;
2) push the head pedal down then to the right (fig. 6 ref. 9) to raise the head;
3) move the machine as follows:
-
Versions with mechanical drive: push or pull;
-
Versions with electric drive (CT40 – CT70 only)
:
to move the machine forwards,
press the button (fig. 6 ref. 13), (LED fig. 6 ref. 14 on) and then operate the drive
lever (fig. 6 ref. 7). To move the machine backwards, press the button (fig. 6 ref. 13)
again, (LED fig. 6 ref. 12 on), then operate the drive lever (fig. 6. ref. 7);
speed can be varied by the potentiometer knob (fig. 6. ref. 11).
Versions with electric drive (CT90 only)
:
to move the machine forwards/backwards,
move the selector (fig. 6, ref. 13), then use the drive lever (fig. 6. ref. 7). Speed can be
varied by the potentiometer knob (fig. 6. ref. 11).
4) once you have reached your destination, lower the head by pressing the release
pedal (fig. 6 ref. 9) down and to the left, then release it.
IMPORTANT
Do not leave the machine unattended or parked with the head lifted or the key
inserted in the emergency button.
6.4. Mounting and changing the brush/drive disks
IMPORTANT
Never work without the brushes and drive disks perfectly installed.
Fitting the brush (one brush version): Rest the brush on the floor in front of the
machine and centre it with the guard. Lower the head and repeatedly action the
brush/drive control lever (fig. 6, ref. 7) until the brush automatically engages on the flange
hub. If the manoeuvre is not successful, press on the handle again and repeat the
centring and repeated actioning of the brush/drive lever.
Use of abrasive/microfibre disks: fit the abrasive/microfibre disk on the drive disk and
perform the operations described for fitting the brush on the scrubber drier.
Removing the brush (one brush version) (or drive disk):
Raise the machine head by pushing the head lift pedal down and then to the right (fig. 6,
ref. 9) and repeatedly action the brush/drive lever. After a few pulses, the brush/es (or
drive disk) is released and falls to the ground.
