Method of operation
of Admiral 36
A squeegee and suitablebrushes or
pads are required for wet cleaning of
hard floorings.
The rotating brushes scrub the floor
thoroughly, removing the dirt by
means of suds, thus cleaning the
floor. The soiled water is drawn in
during the same cycle by means of
the squeegee. This way the floor
can be stepped on immediately
after-wards; it is dry and clean.
Useful advice for perfect work
Prior to wet cleaning it is necessary
to sweep the floor. The
Admiral 36
carries out this work if equipped with
the optional pre-sweeper
(accessories).This way, not only the
cleaning efficiency is improved, but
wear of the machine will be sub-
stantially reduced at the same time.
If floors are particularly dirty or if
wax has to be removed (basic
cleaning), the floor should be
treated twice. During the first cycle,
the floor is scrubbed with a cleaning
agent se.lected according to the
degree of dirt encountered, the
vacuum system remaining turned off
and the squeegee remaining lifted.
Allow the cleaning agent to act on the
floor for approx. 5 or 10 minutes, com-
plying with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, then scrub the floor once again
while the vacuum system is turned on
and the squeegee is lowered.
How to take the
machine into operation
Assembly
When being supplied to you, the
Admiral 36 is packed in a cardboard
box. The floor consists of a wooden
platform where the machine is fixed
by means of plastic straps.
Open the box from its bottom side
and remove it by pulling upwards.
After detaching the plastic straps, you
now can take the machine from the
platform
