•
when the dirty water drum is full, the level indicator comes on (fig. 5, ref. 4) and after a
few seconds the suction motor shuts off. You must stop working and empty the tank.
•
if the warning LED (fig. 5, ref. 1) starts flashing, it means that the batteries are almost
flat. After a few seconds the brushes shut down to prevent excessive discharge of the
batteries. Charge the batteries.
At the end of work:
•
release the brush/drive lever (fig. 5, ref. 7) located under the handgrip. This turns the
brush/drive motor off and the machine stops;
•
stop the brush by pressing the button (fig. 5, ref. 3);
•
lift the lever (fig. 5, ref. 8) to raise the squeegee from the floor to prevent the continuous
pressure from warping the blades;
•
remove the brushes (or drive disks) to prevent them from warping permanently;
•
press the button to turn the optional CHEM DOSE accessory off (fig. 13, ref. 2);
•
empty and clean the dirty water tank.
6.8. Some useful tips to get the most from your scrubber drier
•
In the event of particularly stubborn dirt on the floor, washing and drying can be performed
in two separate operations.
6.8.1. Prewashing with brushes or pads
•
adjust detergent flow;
•
press the brush button (fig. 5, ref. 3)
•
lower the head;
•
operate the drive lever to rotate the brushes;
•
make sure the suction motor is off and the squeegee is raised;
•
begin washing.
The flow of water must be adjusted in proportion to the desired advance speed. The
slower the machine moves forwards, the less water is needed.
Persist when washing particularly dirty points to give the detergent time to perform its
chemical action detaching and suspending the dirt and the brushes time to exert an
effective mechanical action.
6.8.2. Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction motor on, pass over the same area washed
previously. The result is equivalent to in-depth washing and subsequent ordinary
maintenance will take less time.
To wash and dry at the same time, operate the brush, water, squeegee and suction motor
simultaneously.
6.9. Draining the dirty water
!
DANGER
Use suitable personal protection devices.
Drain the water with the machine disconnected from the power supply.
The dirty water drum drain hose is at the back left side of the machine.
To empty the tank:
•
move the machine near a drain;
•
detach the drain hose (fig. 7, ref. 2) from its seat by holding it near the fixing spring (fig.
7, ref. 3) and pulling horizontally;
•
keeping the hose end as high as possible, unscrew and remove the cap (fig. 7, ref. 4);
•
lower the end of the hose gradually, controlling the intensity of the flow of water by
adjusting the height from the ground;
