8.8
THERMAL BREAKERS
The machine is equipped with electric protection
devices on the main operating components to avoid
costly malfunctions.
Thermal breakers are installed to protect the
suction motor (Photo 16 - C) wherever foreseen
and the brush motor (Photo 16 - D).
When one of these breakers trips automatically, the
disabled function can be reactivated by fully de-
pressing the button of the breaker.
When the thermal breakers trip, especially when
the machine is used during the first few weeks, it
might not be caused by actual machine
malfunctions. However, a specialized technician
should check the device if the relative breaker
continues to trip.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
For all the operations described herein, refer to the
instructions and detailed warnings in the relative
sections.
8.9.1
DAILY OPERATIONS
Disassemble and check the brush or the pad driver
disk (with the abrasive pad assembled).
Check that there are no foreign bodies that may
impede the movement or efficiency of all
cleaning parts.
Check the squeegee: clean the blades and check
their condition/wear.
If Pb-Acid batteries are used, carefully carry out the
operations described by the battery manufacturer.
Charge the batteries.*
8.9.2
WEEKLY OPERATIONS
Check and, if necessary, replace the splash guard.
Carefully check the profile of the squeegee blades
and replace them, if necessary.
Check that the suction hoses and conduits are not
clogged;
Thoroughly clean the solution and recovery tanks.
For other models with the Pb-Acid battery: check
the level of the electrolyte in all elements and, if
necessary, top up with distilled water. Refer to the
battery manufacturer’s detailed instructions.*
Lift the filter compartment cover and check under
the impermeable sponge filter for any signs of
liquid; if there is any, drain it off into the dirty
water tank.
8.9.3
OPERATIONS AT EXTENDED
INTERVALS
Even though the machine was built with great
precision and conforms to the most severe
quality tests, the electrical and mechanical parts
will inevitably be subjected to wear and aging
after ex tended periods of use.
For safe and problem-free operation, your machine
should be carefully checked every year by our
authorized technical service centre (or by a
specialist in the sector familiar with all the
pertinent safety regulations contained in this
manual).
This type of work may have to be carried out more
frequently
if
the
machine
operates
in
particular/difficult situations and/or if required
maintenance was not performed.
