OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1
MACHINE PREPARATION
(
!
) Before starting work, select and apply
any personal protective equipment as
appropriate to any risk assessed by a qualified
person when using the machine or any
detergents to be used in conjunction.
(
☞
) Do the following before starting to work. Refer
to the relative sections for a detailed description of
these steps:
- Check the battery charge level and charge the
battery if necessary (see 7.2).*
- Assemble the brush or pad driver (with the
abrasive pad) suitable for the surface and work
involved (see 7.3).
- Check that the squeegee is solidly attached and
connected to the suction hose and that the drying
blades are not too worn (see 7.5).
- Fill the detergent solution tank with a mix of
clean water and non-foaming detergent in an
adequate concentration (as per the directions on
the detergent packaging) through the anterior
hole. Leave 2 cm between the mouth of the plug
and the level of the liquid (see 7.9).
(!) Ensure that the arrow on the lid of the Suction
compartment cover align with the arrow on the
Solution Water Tank to avoid reduction in suction.
(
☞
) To avoid risks, become familiar with the
machine movements
by
carrying out test runs on a
large surface without obstacles.
(!) To obtain the best results in terms of cleaning
and equipment service life, you should do the
following simple but important operations:
-
Identify the work area, moving all possible
obstacles out of the way; if the surface is very
extensive, work in continuous and parallel
rectangular areas.
-
Choose a straight work trajectory and begin
working from the farthest area to avoid passing
over areas that have already been cleaned.
7.2
BATTERY CHARGING*
Connect the patch cord to the power cable of the
battery charger (Photo 19 - A) and to the mains
power.
When switching on, the battery charger will check
the battery voltage and decide whether to start
the charging process. If the battery is not
connected to the battery charger, the red LED will
flash (Photo 18 - A). If the result of the test is
positive, after 1 second the charging of the battery
can start, with the red LED on.
The progress of the charging process is shown by
three LED’s: red, yellow and green, as in the whole
range of the battery chargers.
The green LED (Photo 18 - C) shows the end of
the charging – the battery is fully charged.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains
power.
(
!
) For further information refer to the use and
safety manual of the battery charger provided by
the manufacturer.
If the machine is equipped with Pb-Acid
batteries, charge only in a well-ventilated area,
remove the recovery tank and open the battery
plugs.
(
�
) Follow the steps indicated in the battery
manufacturer’s operating and safety manual (see
the battery maintenance section).
Use an hydrometer to check the element liquid
intensity on a regular basis: if one or more
elements are discharged and the others fully
charged, the battery has been damaged and
should be replaced or repaired (refer to the
battery service manual). Close the element plugs
and lower the superior cover.
