HANDLING THE PACKAGED MACHINE Gross weight of machine with packaging is: • C120 Bifuel= 1053kg The overall dimensions of the package are: A= 1860 mm B= 2450mm C= 1610mm ATTENTION: It is recommended that all the packaging components be kept for any future machine transportation.
PREPARATION OF MACHINE BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL For battery maintenance and recharging, respect the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer. When the batteries are dead, they must be disconnected by trained and specialised personnel. N.B.: dead batteries are classified as dangerous waste and as such must be delivered to an authorised body for disposal. TYPE OF FUEL TO BE UTILIZED In order to determine which fuel must be utilized to power the machine, please refer to the endothermic engine's use and maintenance manual.
WARNING: it is recommended to always wear protective gloves before handling fuel to avoid serious injuries to your hands. Fuels may contain substances similar to solvents. Avoid any contact of mineral oil products with the skin and eyes. Use gloves when refuelling. Change your protective clothes frequently, and clean them.
ATTENTION: we recommend lifting and moving the cylinder only with lifting and transport means for its mass and size. 9. Remove the cylinder. 10. Position the new cylinder. 11. Connect the chain to secure the new cylinder. ATTENTION: remember to place the gasket between the LPG supply hose and the valve 12.
ATTENTION: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum quantity of anti-foam liquid in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids. 6. Close the cap correctly to prevent liquid leaking out when working. 7.
NB: Fit the brush with red bristles at the rear of the sweeping brush head body. 6. Position the cover and tighten the knobs (Fig.22). 7. Close the casing (Fig.19). To fit the side brushes, carry out the operations described. 8.
N.B.: Do not use the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start up, release the key and wait for 10 seconds before making a new attempt. 8. In order to ensure the machine's proper functionality, once the endothermic engine has been running for a few seconds, move the lever (1) to the end of its stroke (Fig.10).
SELECTING THE OPERATING DIRECTION The machine has a lever for selecting the travel direction (1) under the steering wheel (Fig.1). N.B.: To select the forward gear you need to first shift the lever up and then in the direction indicated by the arrow (Fig.2). N.B.: To go from forward to neutral, first move the lever in the direction indicated by the arrow (Fig.3).
WORK LIGHT FUNCTION The machine is equipped with front and rear working lights. To activate them, move the switch (1) on the control panel to the “I” position. NB: if the function is active, the corresponding green LED will be illuminated. N.B.: the sidelights come on when the machine is started.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON If any serious problems are encountered during the work operations, press the battery disconnect button (1) on the electrical system carter. CAUTION: This command interrupts the electrical circuit between the batteries and the machine system. N.B.: To recommence work having stopped and once the problem has been resolved, switch off the machine and turn the knob (1) in the direction of the arrows indicated on it.
LIQUID VACUUM WAND KIT (OPTIONAL) Upon request, the machine can be fitted with the LIQUID VACUUM WAND system that vacuums up the detergent solution more accurately. To start it do as follows. 1. Using the knob (1) of the DS selector (Fig.1), select the “transfer” program. 2.
AT THE END OF THE WORK At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following operations: 1. Using the "DRIVE SELECTION" selector knob on the control panel, select the “TRANSPORT” working program (A). The brush motors and solenoid valve will stop working, and after a few seconds the brush head bodies will lift up from the floor.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS INTERVAL MACHINE COMPONENTS PROCEDURE Clean the vacuum chamber; the squeegee rubber blades; the vacuum nozzle (see Squeegee “CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE BODY”). Clean the scrubbing brush head body side splash guard rubber blades (see Scrubbing brush head body side “CLEANING THE SCRUBBING BRUSH HEAD SIDE SPLASH GUARD RUBBER splash guard rubber blades BLADES”).
CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE BODY The careful cleaning of the whole vacuum unit ensures better drying and cleaning of the floor as well as a longer vacuum motor life. To carry out the cleaning of the squeegee body, proceed as follows: 1.
N.B. : the image (Fig.4) shows the direction of rotation for releasing the right brush. 7. Go to the front left-hand side of the machine and lift the casing (Fig. 5). 8. Remove the left splash guard, move the fixing anchors on the brush head body to the maintenance position (Fig.6). 9.
EMPTYING OF THE SWEEPING BRUSH HEAD BODY DRAWER For emptying proceed as follows: 1. Remove the drawer from the sweeping brush head body (Fig.1). 2. Empty the drawer. 3. Insert the drawer in the sweeping brush head body (Fig.2). DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK Proceed as follows to empty the recovery tank: 1.
EMPTYING THE SOLUTION TANK Proceed as follows to empty the solution tank: 1. Remove the solution tank filler cap (Fig.1). 2. Remove the drainage hose of the solution tank from the clamps; it is located at the rear of the machine (Fig.2). 3.
REPLACING THE SQUEEGEE BODY RUBBER BLADES Ensuring the integrity of the squeegee body's rubber blades guarantees better floor cleaning and drying results, as well as a longer service life for the vacuum motor. In order to replace the squeegee body's rubber blades, do the following: 1.
REPLACING THE SCRUBBING BRUSH HEAD BODY BRUSHES If the scrubbing brush head brushes are damaged they cannot work properly, or more specifically, they cannot remove the dirt from the floor; as such, the condition of these must be checked. To replace the scrubbing brush head brushes, proceed as follows 1.
ADJUSTMENT INTERVENTIONS ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY'S RUBBER BLADES The careful adjustment of the squeegee body rubber blades guarantees better cleaning of the floor. To adjust the squeegee body blades, proceed as follows: 1. Sit on the driver’s seat. 2. Insert the key (1) into the main switch on the control panel. Set the main switch to "I" (Fig.1). 3.
ADJUSTING THE SCRUBBING BRUSH HEAD SIDE SPLASH GUARD If the side splash guards of the brush head body are not positioned correctly they cannot do their work properly, namely convey the dirty detergent solution towards the squeegee, therefore the height of the splash guard needs to be adjusted. This operation can be done with the brush head body in the work position, proceeding as follows: 1.
