PROCEDURE FOR SCRUBBING
Dirty and Fresh Water Tanks
The machine has a Dirty Water Tank and a Fresh Water
Tank. The filling capacity is 45/60 liters. Please do not fill
beyond that mark; water temperature must not exceed
50°C. Dirty water is fed via the suction hose into the dirty
water tank.
- Do not collect any external water.
- When work is finished both the dirty and the
fresh water tanks on principle must be drained
and rinsed in order to preclude formation of
residues.
For disposal of dirty water and lye, the legal
provisions have to be compiled with.
Check the in-feed filter in the tank regularly and
clean it if required.
Filling of Water

Fill fresh water and cleaning solution as described
below before start of operation.
Ÿ
Fill the fresh water tank with water (50° max) as
required by the work to be done through the filter
which is present in front of the machine and add
detergent as specified by the manufacturer.
