In manual mode every function of the machine has to be activated
or deactivated manually.
FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT
It is recommended to carry out always the mere transfer of the
machine in mode (BREAK WASHING).
To proceed to activate the movement of the machine:
1.
Sit on the guiding place.
2.
Turn the key switch (1) clockwise to switch on the machine.
3.
Check the charge level of the batteries on the display (5).
4.
Pressing the push button (7) the functioning of BREAK
WASHING is chosen to carry out the mere transfer of the
machine. In fact, in this mode the washing functions of the
machine are not working and only the traction system functions.
When the signal lamp (6) is on, then the machine is in BREAK
WASHING mode.
5.
Check through the signal lamp (9) that the parking brake is not
inserted and eventually release it (see under paragraph
EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE”).
6.
Positioning the selector (8) forward, the forward drive is chosen,
while positioning it back, the rear drive is chosen.
7.
Press the accelerator pedal placed on the right part of the
platform to start the machine.
8.
Adjust the movement speed in forward pressing every time the
push button (2) to choose the slow one (at the maximum 3,6
km/h is reached) or the fast one (at the maximum 5 km/h is
reached). The signal lamp (3) indicates that the fast drive is
selected, while signal lamp (4) indicates that the slow drive is
selected.
9.
In backward movement, when the machine is moving, an
intermittent warning device is activated, selecting the backwards
movement the squeegee is brought automatically to the upper
position. It will then lower again in the following forward
movement.
This happens both in automatic as in manual mode in order to
protect the integrity of the squeegee.
HORN
The machine is equipped with a horn which is activated pressing the
push button (1).
WORKING BRAKE
To stop the machine during normal working situations, it is sufficient
to release the accelerator pedal, because the machine has got an
electronic brake system. To restart, press again the accelerator pedal.
EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE
In case of an emergency press the pedal of the emergency and
parking brake (1) placed on the left side.
To insert the parking brake press the brake pedal (1) and
simultaneously move downwards the lever (2) placed on the left side
of the steering column.
On the instrument board the signal lamp (3) comes on which signals
that the parking brake is inserted.
To release the parking brake, it is sufficient to press the brake pedal
(1) and automatically it is released.
WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE
The automatic operation is useful to simplify the operator’s work.
1.
Activate the machine (see under paragraph “STARTING OF THE
MACHINE”).
2.
Pressing the push button (3) the automatic (AUTO) functioning
is chosen. When the signal lamp (4) is on, then the machine is
functioning in automatic (AUTO) mode.
3.
Check that the knob of the solution valve (5) is in the position of
optimum flow, depending on the type of floor and the type of
dirt (see under the paragraph “FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF THE
DETERGENT SOLUTION”).
4.
Position the selector (2) forward to choose the forward drive.
5.
Adjust the movement speed in forward with the push button (1)
(see under paragraph "FORWARD AND BACKWARD
MOVEMENT").
6.
Pressing the accelerator pedal, the machine begins to proceed
and in automatic mode all the working functions are activated.
In fact, automatically both the brushes base and the squeegee
go down, the brushes begin to turn, the solenoid valve opens to
permit the detergent solution to flow down onto the brushes
and the suction system is activated to recover the dirty water
from the floor.
Positioning backwards the selector (1) to choose the rear drive and
pressing the accelerator pedal the rear drive starts, 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,
automatically all the functions are being switched off and both
the brushes base and the squeegee are being lifted.
Pressing again the pedal, the machine starts to move again and
in automatic mode all the working functions are reactivated.
