40 - Recovery System
Functional Description
The recovery system removes the dirty water from the floor and pipes it to a recovery tank. When the
machine is running, the dirty water on the floor is collected by the squeegee blades and collected through the
slots in the same, piped through the vacuum hose and into the tank by the airflow created by vacuum motor
(M2). The dirty water is piped into the recovery tank, while the airflow continues to the vacuum fan.
A tank with a grid collects the largest debris going through the recovery tank hose
The automatic float in the vacuum grid stops vacuum system motor (M2) from collecting any liquids.
When the automatic float closes and shuts down the vacuum system, the vacuum system motor noise will
increase and the floor will not be dried.
The vacuum system is activated automatically with the
Main button

independently via the
Vacuum system button
The vacuum system is activated in full power or silent
mode depending on the last mode in use before the machine was switched off. This mode can be changed by
repeatedly pressing the
Vacuum system button
The various vacuum modes are also displayed on the
multifunction display.
When the recovery tank is full it can be emptied through the drain hose
