WORK METHOD
7.13.1
PREPARATION AND WARNINGS
Remove any loose solid residue from the surface to
be treated (using suitable tools, such as vacuum
cleaners, sweepers, etc.). If this is not done, the
solid dirt might prevent the squeegee from operating
correctly, reducing drying efficiency.
Only trained personnel can drive this machine.
7.13.2
BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL CONTROLS*
The sequence of lights of the battery charge control
(Photo 18 - C, B, A) shows the battery discharging.
When the red light turns on (Photo 18 - A), turn off
the brush motor, close the detergent solution outlet,
finish drying the small residual moisture and go to the
battery charging area to charge the battery.
(
!
) The battery may be irreparably damaged
if the residual charge level drops too low (see
the battery operating manual). Do not force
the battery discharge beyond the safety limits,
turning the key off and on or in any other
manner.
