End of operation
Drain the recovery tank / solution tank
The disposal of the dirty water or the cleaning solution must be carried out in
accordance with the appropriate national regulations.
Proceed as follows for both tanks:
Clean the recovery tank / solution tank
Clean solution tank filter
Cleaning the tools
Removing and cleaning the squeegee
Cleaning the machine
Storage / parking of machine (machine is idle)
Store the machine with the tank cap slightly open, by:
• lifting the tank cap, unscrewing the sieve, and placing it in the hollow
provided.
• Then replace the tank cap on the sieve.
• Stop the flow of solution.
• Drive a few metres so that the tool rotates further for a short time. You will
avoid dripping by doing this.
Very important when using contact pads!
• Release the operating lever.
• Press down the pedal and lock it in place to
raise the tool.
• Drive on a few metres further in order to pick up the remaining dirty water.
• Raise the squeegee.
Allow the suction unit to continue running until
the rest of the dirty water has been sucked into
the hose.
• Switch the suction unit off first, and then the
machine (main switch).
Always drain and clean the recovery tank every time you use the
machine.
If the dirty water is allowed to stand, unpleasant smells and
deposition of the dirt will take place after a few hours.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power supply cord out of the mains
socket.
• Remove the drainage hose from its holder.
Open the red or blue cap situated near the handle and lower the
end of the hose slowly to drain the solution out.
• Switch the machine off.
• Lift the tank lid.
• Remove the coarse dirt sieve (yellow), empty and clean it.
• Remove the recovery tank and clean it and the
hose with water.
The tank can be completely drained via the
drain opening.
• Replace the recovery tank on the machine.
• Then thoroughly rinse out the solution tank with clean water.
• Check the float is functioning correctly and that the suction filter (yellow) is
clean.
In case of damage or soiling of the float and suction filter, please refer to
Page 13.
• After draining and cleaning, screw the red and blue caps on again, and hang
the hoses from their holders again.
Caution:
Clogged filters reduce the flow of the cleaning solution. As a
consequence you may damage the floor coating.
• Switch the machine off.
• Once the solution tank has been drained, screw
the yellow cap from the solution tank filter and
pull it away from its holder.

• Rinse the filter under running water.
If necessary, the filter should be descaled with a 10% TASKI calcacid
solution.
The filter is lower than the tank outflow. A residual amount of
solution will flow out once the filter cap has been unscrewed.
• Refit the solution filter.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power supply cord out of the mains
socket.
• Press down the pedal and lock it in place to
raise the tool.
• Turn the tool anticlockwise away from the tool
coupling using your foot.
• Clean the tool with water.
• Switch the machine off.
• Pull the suction hose away from the squeegee support.
• Raise the squeegee and loosen the fixing
screws on the squeegee.
The squeegee support wheel must be in the
direction of movement.
• Remove the squeegee from the squeegee
support.
• Clean the squeegee with water using a brush.
Optimal result can only be obtained with clean and intact blades!
Caution:
Never clean the machine with high water pressure or a water
hose.
The ingress of water into the machine might cause considerable
damage to mechanical or electrical parts.
• Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth.
We recommend disconnecting the plug from the mains socket
during storage / parking of the machine.
The sieve holds the tank lid slightly open,
allowing the tank to dry out. As a result, the
formation of mould and unpleasant smells can
be reduced.
