AUTOMATIC SQUEEGEE LIFT WHEN
GOING BACKWARDS
By selecting the backward movement, the squeegee
is lifted up automatically. It will lower itself during
forward movement.
This feature is both for automatic and manual modes.
WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE
The automatic operation is useful to simplify the
operator’s work.
1. Activate the machine by pressing the selector (3)
upward to choose the automatic function (AUTO),
(see “STARTING THE MACHINE”).
2. Check that the solution valve knob (21),
Depending on the type of floor and the type of dirt,
(see “FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF THE
DETERGENT SOLUTION”).
3. Adjust the movement speed in forward with the
selector (12) (see “STARTING THE MACHINE”).
Use the selector (11) to go forward and press the
accelerator pedal. The machine starts to move and
all working functions are activated automatically.
During backward movement, the squeegee lifts
automatically and will then return to lower itself
during the next forward movement.
If the accelerator pedal is released for more than 3
seconds, all functions are switched off and both the
brush base and squeegee are lifted.
To reactivate the machine, just press the pedal and
proceed with the operation.
WORKING IN MANUAL MODE
The manual mode is useful when the operator wants
to carry out separately the washing and drying of the
floor.
ATTENTION:
Washing and drying functions that are not
carried out simultaneously represent an
improper use of the machine (see under
paragraph “GENERAL RULES OF
SECURITY”). If they are carried out separately,
forbid the working areas to the passage of non-
authorized personnel. Signal the areas of moist
floors with suitable signs.
Activate the machine (see “STARTING OF THE
MACHINE”) positioning the selector (3) to the right
to choose the manual mode (MAN).
TO CARRY OUT THE WASHING FUNCTION :
1. Press the push button (13) of the brush base to
lower the brush. Once it is lowered, the brushes
begin to turn. The signal lamp (15) indicates that the
brush base is lowering or lifting, while the signal
lamp (17) signals that the brushes are turning.
2. Press the switch (14) to open the solenoid valve,
allowing the detergent solution to flow onto the
brush. The signal lamp (16) will indicate that the
solenoid valve is open.
TO CARRY OUT THE DRYING FUNCTION :
1. Press the push button (4) to lower the squeegee.
The signal lamp (6) will indicate the lowering or
lifting of the squeegee.
2. Press the switch (5) of the vacuum motor to start
the suction system. The signal lamp (7) indicates
that the machine is drying.
Adjust the movement speed using the selector (12)
(see “STARTING THE MACHINE”).
When the selector (11) is turned on and the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the machine begins to
move forward. It works according to the set
functions.
ATTENTION:
In manual mode every function of the machine
has to be activated or deactivated manually
.
Working Check whether the following is working
properly:
1. The squeegee adjustment results in a dry floor
(see “ADJUSTMENT OF THE SQUEEGEE”).
2. The adjustment of the detergent solution flow is
sufficient to wet the floor uniformly avoiding the
leakage of detergent from the splashguards (see
“FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT
SOLUTION”).
3. The brush pressure permits an efficient washing
action. (see “BRUSH PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT”).
FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF DETERGENT
SOLUTION
To adjust the detergent solution quantity that flows
down onto the brush, turn the solution valve knob (1)
placed on the right of the steering column. Rotate
counter-clockwise to increase the flow, clock-wise
to reduce the flow.
