COMAC Vega 2019 - Assembling the Squeegee Body; Filling the Solution Tank with Water; Detergent Solution

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK WITH WATER
Before lling the solution tank, carry out the following steps:
1. Take the machine to the usual place for lling the solution tank.
2. Perform the procedure for securing the machine ( see the section titled “SECURING THE MACHINE”).
3. Check that the solution tank discharge cap (12) is open. If it isn't, open it (Fig.14).
4. Check the water system lter cap (23) (on the right-hand side of the machine) is tight. If this is not the case, turn it clockwise (Fig.23).
The solution tank can be lled with water in three di󰀨erent ways:
• Removing the cap/measuring device (24) and lling the solution tank by means of a rubber hose or a bucket (Fig.24).
• Using the ller hose (25) (Fig. 25), which supports the water hose on its own.
• Using the optional system for automatic clean water top-up. This system has a oat for avoiding any overow.
• Fill with clean water, at a temperature not higher than 50°C and not lower than 10°C. You can check the quantity in the tank by means of the
level tube (26) (Fig. 23).
DETERGENT SOLUTION
For the versions without automatic detergent dosing system, after lling the solution tank with clean water, add the liquid detergent to the tank in
the concentration and manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label.
To prevent the formation of an excessive amount of foam that could damage the vacuum motor, use the minimum percentage of detergent
required.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you wear the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) suited to the work to be carried out.
ATTENTION: 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.
ATTENTION: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid in the recovery
tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids.
N.B.: to make it easier to measure the detergent on the cap/measuring device, there are two notches indicating the two main detergent
percentage quantities that can be used.
For versions with automatic detergent dosing system, ll the solution tank with clean water and then proceed as follows:
1. Grip the handle (5) on the left-hand side of the recovery tank (Fig.7) and turn the tank as far as it will go.
2. Disconnect the male insert (27) from the female insert (28) on the cap of the detergent canister (Fig.26).
N.B.: before pulling on the male insert, push the lever in the female insert.
3. Grip the handle on the detergent canister (29) to remove it from the compartment in the solution tank (Fig.27).
4. Unscrew the cap (30) of the detergent canister (Fig.28).
5. Fill the canister with the required detergent, as indicated on the label of the machine.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you wear the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) suited to the work to be carried out.
ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE BODY
For packaging reasons, the squeegee body comes disassembled from the machine. In order to mount it on the squeegee support, do the
following:
1. Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (read “MACHINE SAFETY”).
2. Raise the squeegee body and turn the squeegee control lever (7) in the direction of the arrow (Fig.10); the lever is located on the back of the
machine.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you wear the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) suited to the work to be carried out.
3. Unscrew the knobs (17) in the squeegee body pre-assembly (Fig.19).
4. First of all, insert the left-hand pin (18) on the squeegee body in the left slit (19) in the squeegee support (Fig.20), so that the bushing (20)
adheres to the walls of the slit in the squeegee support.
5. Tighten the knobs (17) to x the squeegee body to the support.
6. Repeat the same operation for the right pin.
7. Insert the vacuum tube (21) in the sleeve (22) in the squeegee body (Fig.21).
N.B.: the tube must be positioned behind the squeegee lifting chain.
N.B.: Although the squeegee comes pre-adjusted, it is nevertheless recommended to read the section titled “ADJUSTING THE
SQUEEGEE BODY'S RUBBER BLADES”.
