WARNING:
This machine is designed to work in closed industrial environments on
level floors or on inclines no steeper than 2%. Do not use inflammable
chemicals and/or explosives with this machine.
Floor wiper: Inspect and clean the floor wiper weekly and make sure to
restore it to its working condition. If the drying action is not perfect after
cleaning the wiper assembly, remove and re-place any worn rubber blades.
Brush: The brush must be kept in working order; to remove a worn brush
proceed as follows (follow the procedure in reverse to reassemble):
- Turn off the machine (key switch in OFF position) and lift the brush with
the pedal provided (
M9 );
- Release the catch M15 and remove the rubber spray guard;
- Turn the brush to be re-moved by hand until the coils of spring M19
are accessible;
- By closing together the coils of spring
M19 with your fingers (as if you
where closing a pair of scissors) the brush will free itself;
Waste Tank: clean the tank every week as follows: lift the cover; remove
the motor stop ring M13 and remove the suction motor from its seat;
carefully clean the filter, net and sponge, and remove the dirt which has
accumulated in the tank, by water jetting. To ease the operations detach the
discharge assembly
M2 by unscrewing its side knobs.
Batteries: Check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if
drops below the level of the battery elements. Keep the batteries clean and
dry with anti-static cloths. Recharging must be carried out with the cell
plugs removed and the cover of the machine opened so as to allow the
gases generated to escape.
In confined spaces the-se gases can be explosive, so recharging should be
done in a well-ventilated area.
NORMS FOR BATTERIES SAFETY. It is necessary to remember that the
batteries produce gas that can provoke explosions if they come in contact
with flames and sparks. Do not perform reparations on a battery while it’s
recharging. Don’t leave tools or metallic parts on the battery. Always clean
up and dry the batteries; the connections must be covered with anti-acid
grease or petroleum jelly. Take care that the battery tank is always cleaned.
IN CASE OF ACID LOSS FROM THE BATTERIES: replace the battery
with the loss respecting the polarities and the connections shown above.
For this operation use rubber gloves, apron and glasses to protect the skin
and the eyes.
