CAUTION: do not fit the brush and the rear squeegee body before unloading the machine, and MACHINE PREPARATION avoid any violent jolts to the brush head and squeegee support. HANDLING THE PACKAGED MACHINE NB: the ramp gradient must not be such as to cause damage to the machine as it comes The machine is contained in specific packaging, and since the down.
INSERTING THE BATTERIES IN THE MACHINE MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES The batteries must be housed in the relative compartment beneath the recovery tank. They should be To ensure that work is carried out in the best safety conditions, proceed as follows: handled using lifting equipment that is suitable in terms of both the weight and the coupling system.
NB: carefully read the use and maintenance instructions of the battery charger used. Go to the back of the machine and remove the cap (2) from the battery charger socket (Fig.2). Connect the battery charger power cable connector (3) to the battery charger socket (4) (Fig.3). CAUTION: before connecting the batteries to the battery charger, make sure it is suitable for the batteries used.
HOUR METER The machine control panel contains the control display, which shows the total usage time. The numbers before the letter “h” identify the hours, while the numbers before the letter “m” identify the tenths of an hour (a tenth of an hour corresponds to six minutes). The flashing “:” symbol indicates that the hour meter is counting the machine functioning time.
14. Make sure the vacuum tube (11) is correctly connected to the sleeve in the squeegee body. If it SCRUBBING WITH DRYING isn't, connect it (Fig.10). To perform a scrubbing and drying program, proceed as follows: 15. Make sure the vacuum motor filter (12) is correctly connected and is clean (Fig.11). If it isn't, clean it (see “CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK”).
NB: As soon as the button (3) is pressed, the word “BACK” will appear on the control display ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION FLOW (Fig.4). To adjust the flow of detergent solution during work, proceed as follows: Activate the dead man's levers (5) on the handlebars (Fig.4) to start moving the machine in reverse mode.
RECOVERY TANK OVERFLOW RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS The machine is equipped with a mechanical device (float) under the recovery tank lid that, when the recovery tank is full, shuts off the air to the vacuum motor intake to protect it; the sound of the vacuum motor will then be deeper.
Clean the brush under running water to remove any impurities from its bristles. Check the bristles CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE BODY are not worn; in the event of excessive wear, replace the brush (the bristles should be at least The careful cleaning of the whole vacuum unit ensures better drying and cleaning of the floor as well as 10mm long).
CLEANING THE VACUUM TUBE Careful cleaning of the vacuum tube guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer vacuum motor life. Proceed as follows to clean the vacuum tube: Take the machine to the maintenance area. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (see “MACHINE SAFETY MEASURES”).
REPLACING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSH (60BT VERSIONS) REPLACING THE SQUEEGEE BODY RUBBER BLADES Ensuring the good condition of the squeegee body rubber blades guarantees better floor cleaning and The good condition of the brush guarantees better cleaning of the floor, as well as a longer brush head gearmotor lifespan.
