Preparing The Machine For Work - Dustbane Hurricane 400 XTT Operation Manual

6.6. Preparing the machine for work

Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip waterproof shoes, mask
to protect the respiratory tract, gloves and all other personal protection devices
recommended by the supplier of the detergent used or necessitated by the work
Important
environment.
Before starting work, proceed as follows:
1. Check the battery charge (recharge if necessary);
2. Lower the head;
3. Make sure the recovery tank is empty. If necessary, empty it;
4. Check that the tap lever is in the "CLOSED" position;
5. Fill the solution tank with a suitable concentration of clean water and low-foam detergent. Leave at
least 5 cm between the surface of the liquid and the opening of the tank;
6. If the machine is fitted with the optional CHEM DOSE accessory, remove the cap and fill the tank with
appropriately diluted low-foam detergent.
7. Mount the most suitable brushes / pads for the floor and work to be performed;
8. Make sure the squeegee is firmly attached and connected to the suction hose. Make sure the back
blade is not worn.
If you are using the machine for the first time, we recommend trying it on a large obstacle-
free surface first to acquire the necessary familiarity. Always empty the dirty water drum
before filling the detergent tank again.
Information
For effective cleaning and to extend the working life of the machine, follow a few simple rules:
• Prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles;
• Begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just cleaned;
• Choose the straightest possible working routes;
• Divide large floors into parallel rectangular sections.
• If necessary, finish off by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the autoscrubber.
6.7. Working
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the machine as follows:
2. Move the tap lever (except 670 Eco) to the minimum detergent flow position. The detergent solution
starts flowing to the brush;
3. Lower the squeegee by means of the corresponding lever;
4. Press the brush switch. For Eco machines, select the most suitable operating mode (BRUSH-PAD
mode with brush/abrasive disk or "MICROFIBRE" model with microfibre disk) by holding the brush
switch down for at least 5 seconds;
5. Press the suction switch to start the suction motor;
6. Press the brush/drive lever;
Non-traction units:
•
When the brush switch is in the "1" position and the drive lever is pulled, the motor which turns the brush
and moves the machine starts up. A special mechanical drive device uses the friction between the brush
and floor to generate a forward movement. When the mechanical drive lever is released, the brush motor
shuts down and the machine stops. If the machine pulls to one side, restore a straight course by using the
direction regulation knob. If the machine pulls to the right, turn the knob clockwise and vice versa.
