AND RELEVANT SAFETY SIGNS ARE DISPLAYED.

Machine Usage Advice

To operate, turn the main control on / off key to position '1' (ON), select
water-flow rate, chemical mix (see page 12), lower the floor-tool
(see page 13) and select forward (see page 8), press the start / stop trigger.
Vacuum pick-up, water-flow and chemical-dose will turn on automatically
and the machine will move forward.
Adjust the speed to suit the conditions using the variable speed control
(see page 8).
The clean-water / chemical mix is dispersed evenly via the 'THRU- FEED'
scrubbing brushes.
The waste-water is then retrieved by the suction floor-tool.
Overlap each scrubbing path by 10 cm to ensure an even clean.
Do not operate the machine on inclines that exceed (9%), when full.
If streaking occurs wipe floor-tool blades clean (see Fig.36).
On heavily soiled floors use a 'double scrub' technique.
First pre-scrub the floor with the floor-tool in the raised position, allow
the chemical time to work then scrub the area a second time with the
floor-tool lowered.
