Solution Tank:
The solution tank is located under the lid, at
the front of the machine, with the filling-funnel
M1
in an acces-
sible position for easy re-filling.
Note:
Always empty the dirty water collection tank, as described
in the next paragraph, before refilling the tank with the diluted
detergent solution. The solution tank has a maximum capacity
of 10 gallons (38 liters). Always use the products and the dilu-
tion quantities recommended by the seller. Never use foamy
detergents. Use defoamer if excess foam develops.
Water collection tank:
The dirty water collection tank should
be emptied, preferably each time after use, so that the dirt does
not settle there. To do this, remove the plug of the drain hose
M2,
which is kept in position by a simple spring clip, and
empty dirty water into the proper drain conforming to local
regulations.
Squeegee:
The squeegee has the final task of completing the
drying of the floor and it is very important for it to be in the
correct position. Lower the squeegee to the working position
by pressing pedal
M3
. Adjust the position of the squeegee by
means of the knobs
M4
so that the black rubber bar is about
1
⁄
32
" (the thickness of a business card)
from the floor. The
squeegee behind this is in para rubber and must press on the
floor with a certain amount of force.
After the first few
hours the squeegee adjusts itself to the correct angle
and drying becomes even better.
Squeegee pressure is
adjusted by knob
M14
.
Battery installation and charging:
The batteries are sup-
plied separately and must be inserted in the special compart-
ment provided under the lid. Apply a layer of vaseline to the
terminals and connect in series as shown on page 11. Make
sure that the terminals are correctly tightened. The battery
charger must be installed in the place set aside for charging the
machine. The charger is provided with a cable for connection
to the mains, normally
120v/60HZ.
Check that the voltage cor-
responds to the voltage indicated on the battery charger.
To charge the batteries, connect the connector of the machine
batteries
M5
to the connector of the battery charger. The
battery charger will automatically regulate the voltage to the
batteries and will switch itself off when the batteries have been
fully charged.
