compliance with current safety legislation and as described in the maintenance
manual.
9.1.
Maintenance - General rules
Performing regular maintenance according to the Manufacturer's instructions improves
performance and extends the working life of the machine.
When cleaning the machine, respect the following:
•
avoid the use of high pressure washers. Water could penetrate the electrical
compartment or motors leading to damage or the risk of short circuit;
•
do not use steam to avoid the heat warping plastic parts;
•
do not use hydrocarbons or solvents as they could damage the cowling and rubber
parts.
9.2.
Routine maintenance
9.2.1 Suction motor air filter and float switch: cleaning
•
Unscrew and remove the tank cap (fig. 11, ref. 1) from the dirty water drum (fig. 11,
ref. 4);
•
make sure the dirty water drum (fig. 11, ref. 4) is empty;
•
clean the float switch (fig. 11, ref. 5) at the back of the dirty water drum, taking care not
to direct the water jet directly against the float switch;
•
remove the suction motor air filter (fig. 11, ref. 2) from the support (fig. 11 ref. 3) inside
the dirty water drum at the top;
•
clean the filter with running water or the detergent solution used on the machine;
•
dry the filter thoroughly before replacing it in the support. Make sure the filter is
correctly located in its housing;
•
screw the cap back on the dirty water drum.
9.3.
Basket filter: cleaning
•
Remove the basket filter from the water fill hole at the front of the machine;

9.4.
Detergent filter: cleaning
•
Unscrew the screw located below the bottom tank (fig. 13, ref. 1);
•
clean the filter with running water or the detergent solution used on the machine;
•
replace the filter in its housing, making sure it is correctly positioned and retighten the
screw.
9.2.2 Squeegee blades: replacing
The squeegee blades collect the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare
the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing leaves the edge of the blade
in contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring
it to be replaced.
Turning or replacing the blades:
•
remove the squeegee (fig. 2 ref. 6) from its mount (fig. 7 ref. 2) by completely
unscrewing the two knobs (fig. 7 ref. 3)
•
remove the suction hose sleeve (fig. 7, ref. 4) from the squeegee;
•
release the catch (fig. 15 ref. 3 or 6);
•
remove the two blade retainers (fig. 15, ref. 2 or 7) by first pushing them towards the
body of the squeegee (fig. 15, ref. 1) then extracting them;
•
remove the blade (fig. 15, ref. 4 or 5);
