BATTERY INSTALLATION AND BATTERY TYPESETTING (WET OR GEL/ AGM) According to the type of batteries (WET or GEL/AGM), set the machine and electronic board of the battery charger as follows: (only for disc machine) WET BATTERIES (NOTE: Turn the DIP switch 1 and 2 both to “OFF”.
Battery charger setting (for disc machines with on-board battery charger) Remove the screws (A, B, C, D, Figure 4.1). Open the charger and find the sw1 (E, Figure 4.1). Set the switches as the table of (Figure 4.1). Install the screws (A, B, C, D, Figure 4.1) after setting complete. ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF BATTERIES (WET OR GEL / AGM), SET THE MACHINE AS FOL- LOWS: (only for orbital machine) NOTE...
Battery installation 1. Open the recovery tank cover (1) and check that the recovery tank (25) is empty; otherwise empty it with the drain hose. (22) 2. Close the recovery tank cover (1). 3. Overturn the recovery tank (25) carefully. 4.
PAD INSTALLATION AND UNINSTALLATION (only for orbital machine) Lift the deck by pressing the switch (46). Install and uninstall the pad (A, Figure 5.1) ADJUSTING THE BALANCE OF SQUEEGEE Install the squeegee and screw up the nut (H), then connect the vacuum hose (G) to the squeegee. Adjust the squeegee by squeegee adjusting handle (A, Figure 6).
(only for machine with traction) by pushing the machine with the hands on the handlebar (E) and by pressing the switch (F). If necessary, the forward speed can be adjusted with the adjuster (H). NOTE D C B To move the machine forward, press either the left or right switch (F) or both.
CAUTION! To avoid any damage to the floor surface, turn off the brushes/pad-holders when the machine stops in one place. Figure 9 Battery discharge during operation C B A Until the green warning light (A, Figure 10) stays on, the batteries allow the machine to work normally.
CAUTION! If the vacuum system turns off accidentally (for example, when the float is activated because of a sudden machine movement), to resume the operation: turn off the vacuum system by pressing the switch (D, Figure 10), then open the cover (C, Figure 11) and check that the float inside the grid (A) has gone down to the water level.
MACHINE LONG INACTIVITY If the machine is not going to be used for more than 30 days, proceed as follows: Perform the procedures shown in After Using the machine paragraph. Disconnect the battery connector (54). FIRST PERIOD OF USE After the first 8 hours, check the machine fastening and connecting parts for proper tightening and check the visible parts for wear and leakage.
BATTERY CHARGING NOTE Charge the batteries when the yellow (F, Figure 14) or red warning light (G) turns on, or when finishing cleaning. CAUTION! Keeping the batteries charged make their life last longer. CAUTION! When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes their life shorter.
Battery charging with battery charger installed on the machine Connect the battery charger cable (A, Figure 15) to the electrical mains (G) (the electrical mains voltage and frequency must be compatible with the battery charger values shown on the machine serial number plate (F). When the battery charger is connected to the electrical mains, all machine functions are automatically cut off.
SQUEEGEE CLEANING NOTE The squeegee must be clean and its blades must be in good conditions in order to get a good drying. CAUTION! It is advisable to wear protective gloves when cleaning the squeegee because there may be sharp debris. Drive the machine on a level floor.
SQUEEGEE BLADE CHECK AND REPLACEMENT Clean the steel or the aluminum squeegee, as shown in the previous paragraph. Check that the edges (E, Figure 20) of the front blade (C) and the edges (F) of the rear blade (D) lay down on the same level, along their length;...
TANK AND VACUUM GRID WITH FLOAT CLEANING, AND COVER GASKET CHECK Drive the machine on a level floor. Ensure that the machine is off and the ignition key (54) has been removed. Turn the recovery tank lid (A, Figure 21) 90 degree position where it can be took off from the tank, and then take down the float ball filter (P) from the tank.
MACHINE WORKING HOUR CHECK Turn the ignition key (A, Figure 22) to "I". Press the switch (B), the hour meter (C) begins to work and it at the same time shows the total number of working hours (scrubbing/drying) performed by the machine. Release the switch (B).
