36. PREPARING TO WORK
1.
Make sure the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it completely
2.
Check that the main switch of the machine is set to "0"
3.
Connect the connector to the batteries (1)
4.
Sit on the driver’s seat
5.
Check the parking brake is released (2).
ATTENTION:
If you try to leave with the parking brake on, the machine will not
move; always disengage the parking brake before starting to work or moving.
6.
Turn the key of the main switch a quarter of a rotation clockwise (to position ON). Immediately, on the
instrument panel, the display will turn on indicating the charge level of the batteries.
7.
Lower the base by turning the right lever (4) clockwise, then lower the squeegee turning the left lever (5)
anticlockwise.
8.
Pressing the accelerator pedal (6 - right pedal), the machine starts moving and the brushes will rotate
9.
To perform a reverse manoeuvre, lift the squeegee by turning the left lever (5) clockwise, then press both
pedals (6 and 7) and the machine will start moving backwards.
During the first few metres, check that there is sufficient solution and that the squeegee is drying correctly. The
machine will start working in good working order up to run out of detergent solution or until the battery is
discharged.
ATTENTION:
If problems arise during operations, turn off the key, engage the parking brake by pushing the
lever (9) to the left until the machine brakes and release the emergency lever placed below the operator. These
commands block all moving machine parts. Having resolved the problem, to start working again, reconnect the
connector, turn on the key and release the parking brake lever.
The machine will not start if the operator is not properly seated.
37. OVERFLOW DEVICE
The machine is not equipped with an overfill device, because the capacity of the recovery tank is greater than
the capacity of the solution tank. In extraordinary cases, there is a mechanical device (float) on the lid that,
when the recovery tank is full, shuts off the air to the suction motor intake TO protect it; the sound of the suction
motor will then be deeper. If this happens, raise the squeegee by turning the left-hand lever clockwise. After
about 15-25 seconds, switch off the suction motor by making a 1/4 turn of the key, anticlockwise. Make a 1/4
turn of the key clockwise, and take the machine to the designated water drainage area. Then proceed with
emptying the recovery tank through a special drainage pipe (10). It is good practice when restoring the level of
the solution tank, to empty the recovery tank through the special drainage pipe (10).
ATTENTION:
during machine switch-on, do not keep the accelerator pedal
pressed down.
