WORKING PRINCIPLE

WORKING PRINCIPLE

A squeegee and suitable brushes or pads are required for wet 
cleaning of hard floorings. The rotating brushes (1) scrubs the 
floor thoroughly, removing dirt, by cleaning agent supplied from 
the fresh water tank (2) thereby cleaning the floor. The soiled 
water is drawn during the same cycle through the squeegee (3) 
and  fed  into  the  dirty  water  tank  (4).  Thus,  the  floor  can  be 
walked on immediately after it is dry and clean.

Note:

  This  machine  is  a  tank-in-tank  design,  fresh  water  and 

dirty water are stored in their respective compartments.

Prior to wet cleaning, it is necessary to clean the floor. This 
way, not only is the cleaning efficiency improved, but wear 
and tear of the brush is also substantially reduced.

·

If floors are particularly dirty or if wax has to be removed 
(basic cleaning); the floor must be treated twice. 

·

During the first cycle, the floor is scrubbed with the cleaning 
agent selected according to the degree of dirt encountered, 
the squeegee remaining lifted.

·

Allow the cleaning agent to act on the floor for approx. 5 or 
10 minutes, complying with the manufacturer's instructions.

·

Scrub the floor once again while the squeegee is lowered. 

·

Too  much  foam  indicates  excessive  dosage  or  improper 

suitability of detergent for the existing kind of dirt. 

·

Detergent particles contained in the soiled water that are 

not used will cause formation of foam.

·

Instructions for dosage are given on the detergent tank and 

operator  must  ideally  adhere  to  manufacturer's 
recommendations. 

·

The  ideal  type  of  detergent  and  the  perfect  dosage 
applicable  to  it  will  come  through  sustained  use  of  the 
machine.

NOTE:

 

Comply  with  instructions  for  correct  dosage  of 
detergent.  Correct    dosage  will  help  optimize 
costs  and  also  minimize  impact  on  the 
environment. Too much foam can affect  the performance of the 
machine.
