MACHINE PREPARATION
ASSEMBLING THE SPLASH GUARD
For packaging reasons, the splash guard is supplied disassembled from the machine, and must be
assembled as shown in the figure.
ASSEMBLING THE BRUSHES ABILA 42-52
Raise the base by means of the appropriate pedal.
With the base up, insert the brushes in the plate housing beneath the base, turning them until the
three pins enter the niches in the plate itself; turn until the pin is pushed towards the coupling
spring and is locked into place:
the figure shows the rotation direction to hook up the right-hand brush; for the left-hand one,
rotate in the opposite direction.
you are advised to invert the right and left-hand brushes every day. If the brushes are not new
however, and have deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position (the right-
hand one on the right, and the left-hand one on the left), to prevent the different inclination of the
bristles producing an overload on the brush motor as well as excessive vibrations.
