4. Instructions for use during cleaning
4.1
After switching on the machine, the operator must wait about 3 seconds before all functions are verified and
ready for use.
IMPORTANT:
Before turning or driving around corners the speed should be reduced considerably. To do
this the operator simply exerts less pressure on the accelerator.
4.2
Floors should be cleaned and dried in parallel strips overlapping by 5 - 10 cm.
Our after-sales service technician or demonstrator will show you how to use your machine as efficiently as
possible.
4.3
Thanks to the vacuum created inside the collection tank, the used water and dirt are completely absorbed and
conveyed to the dirty water tank. In order to ensure that neither dirty water nor foam can find their way into the
vacuum motor, the tank is equipped with a foam cut-off system and the intake pipe is fitted with a filter to catch
fluff. This filter stops the material several centimetres above the maximum possible water level inside the
tank.
4.4
When the liquid in the clean water tank has been used up or after cleaning has been completed, switch off the
brush motor by pressing the switch with the brush icon. This automatically causes the solenoid valve to shut
off the supply of detergent to the brush, switches off the pump and raises the brush unit to the rest position.
Allow the machine to keep moving for another 5 or 6 m to suck up the remaining dirty water.
By pressing the button with the suction motor icon, the squeegee will be raised to the rest position and the
suction motor will be turned off.
4.5
When the accelerator pedal is released, the drive motor slows down and stops.
4.6
The parking brake should be applied to prevent the machine from moving by accident.
4.7
Empty the dirty water tank into a recipient or a drain using the drain hose. Remove the cap, release the hose
from the hose clip at the back of the machine and drain the fluid.
4.8
At the end of cleaning, clean the machine (without using a water jet) and rinse the tank.
4.9
Our machines are fitted with a quick brush change system.
BRUSH CHANGE:
1.
Make sure the brush head is raised, no function is active and the handbrake is on.
2.
Take hold of the brush with both hands and turn sharply in the normal brush rotation direction (in the case of
two brushes, they rotate towards the centre; in the case of three, the centre brush rotates clockwise).
3.
Remove the old brushes from underneath the brush head and place the new ones as near as possible to the
bayonet fitting lined up with each motor.
4.
Lower the head and press the pedal lightly briefly (about 2-3 secs)
5.
Switch the brushes off, raise the brush head and make sure the brushes are correctly attached. If not, then
repeat operations 3, 4 and 5, making sure each brush is centred and lined up with the motor.
4.10 Before connecting the machine to the charger, make sure the key switch is off (the plug is under the seat,
above the battery compartment). After 15 seconds, the charger comes on and recharging begins.
Please read the instructions on use of the batteries and battery charger (included with the batteries and/or
battery charger) before operating battery powered machines:
4.11 In order to avoid build-up of dangerous gas inside the machine during recharging, the seat over the battery
compartment must be removed whilst charging is in progress.
4.12 Instruction 4.11 does not apply to gel batteries.
