19. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
The solution tank can be filled in two different ways:
1. removing the inlet cap (1) and filling with the aid of a rubber tube
2. using the rubber cap (2); this supports the water hose on its own, but be sure to remove the inlet cap
(1) to allow the proper vent of air.
Remove the inlet cap (1) and fill with clean water at a temperature of not more than 50C. The amount
inside the tank can be seen by means of the level pipe on the front left of the seat. The solution tank has a
maximum capacity of about 65 litres. Add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration and manner
indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label. The formation of excess foam could damage the vacuum
motor, so use only the minimum amount of detergent that is necessary.
WARNING: Always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their
suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or
solvents without this indication. Acid or alkaline maintenance detergents can
be used, as long as they have pH values between four and ten, and do not
contain oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine, formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
WARNING: protective gloves should always be worn before handling
detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious injury to hands.
ATTENTION: always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of
foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of anti-foam liquid into
the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids.
20. REGULATING THE DETERGENT
Firstly, fully open the outflow of the tap, by means of the lever (1) on the steering column. During the first
few metres, check that the amount of solution is sufficient to wet the floor. The amount can be adjusted by
means of the lever (1), shifting it downwards to increase the flow, or upwards to reduce it. Bear in mind that
the correct amount of solution is always depends on the nature of the floor, the degree of dirt and the
forward speed.
21. RECOVERY TANK
Make sure the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it completely.
Check the cap of the drainage tube (1) (on the rear of the machine) is correctly closed.
22. ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE
The squeegee, that for reasons of packaging comes disassembled from the machine, must be assembled
while assembling the machine. Proceed as follows for assembly:
1. Lift the squeegee, turning the left-hand lever (1) to move it clockwise
2. Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the "0" position
