Installing and recharging the batteries: The batteries are supplied separately
and are located in the appropriate compartment underneath the cover;
apply a coating of grease (e.g. Vaseline) to the terminals; connect the
batteries as shown in the attached diagram; make sure the terminals are
securely tightened. The battery charger should be set up in the area where
it is planned to leave the ma-chine for recharging. Use the cable supplied
to connect to the mains supply, normally 220 V 50 Hz; make sure that the
supply voltage is the same as indicated on the battery charger itself. To
charge the batteries connect the connector
M5
, which comes directly from
the battery compartment, to the battery charger connector; apply voltage
using the appropriate but-ton on the charger. The charger will automati-
cally regulate the charging cur-rent and will turn itself off when the batter-
ies are recharged.
WARNING: The battery acid may give off harmful fumes. When working
near the batteries use protective glasses and clothes.
DO NOT PLACE ANY METAL TOOLS OF ANY KIND ON THE
BATTERIES.
Recharging the batteries generates explosive gas. Do not
smoke, light flames or make sparks. Make sure the charger is switched off
before disconnecting. Recharge the batteries in a well-ventilated area and
keep the cover open.
WARNING: objects lying on the floor can be thrown at high speed by the
brushes, endangering people and/or property.
The area to be cleaned: In order to increase the effectiveness of the
detergent, the area to be cleaned should first be swept (manually or by
machine) to remove loose dirt that may quickly clog up the suction circuit.
Powering up and operation:
- Turn off the battery charger and disconnect it from the machine:
- Turn the key switch,
M6
, to position 1 and press buttons
M7
and
M8
;
- Lower the brush by pres-sing pedal M9 ;
- Lower the floor wiper by pressing pedal M3 ;
- Regulate the flow of detergent to a minimum-using knob M12 ;
- Press lever M10 , the machine will go forward, keep press the button
M5
, the machine will go backward. Releasing
M10
to stop the machine
- Regulate the forward speed with potentiometer M11 ;
- Finally, use lever M12 to regulate the dosage of detergent according to
the amount of dirt and the speed of the machine, this will come with
experience; at this point the floor cleaner will come with experience, at
this point the floor cleaner will simultaneously clean and dry the floor:
Particularly dirty floors: Certain floors or environments require particu-
lar attention or even a second pass with the cleaner.
In this case you should make on pass with the wiper raised and the brush
in the working position; in this way the detergent remains on the floor for
longer and will dissolve the tougher dirt. The second pass should be made
with the brush and wiper lowered and at a slower speed.
