Release the parking brake (if available);
Turn the key to position 1 on the TRAC and ECO versions;
Lower the squeegee by turning the special lever;
Lower the brush plate using the pedal;
Turn on the brush and the suction fan using the buttons in the instrument panel;
Enable the brush function using the button in the instrument panel; the brushes will not start
rotating until the drive command is enabled.
Turn on the suction fan using the special button in the instrument panel.
Set the desired maximum operating speed using the potentiometer located in the instrument
panel.
Use the valve to adjust the quantity of the solution in the brushes.
To avoid damaging the floor, be very careful not to halt the machine over the same floor area while the brushes
continue to operate.
The brush will stop automatically after 3 seconds when the drive command is released and the solenoid valve will also
shut off the flow of the solution. When resuming the drive operation, the brushes will restart and the solution will
automatically start to flow.
If the squeegee leaves wet lines on the floor during the washing operation, it means that there are pieces trapped
beneath the rear rubber wheels of the squeegee. Lift the squeegee and remove the trapped pieces. Use a cloth to wipe
off the rear rubber wheels if the pieces cannot be removed manually. In any case, it is always advisable to sweep the
floors before washing.
Make sure to check the level of the solution present in the clean water tank through the clear pipe.
For the BASE and TRAC versions, once the detergent solution is used up, take the machine to the tank drainage area,
drain the dirty water into the appropriate location, ready for disposal, then wash the water tank and fill up the tank with
clean water and a mix of water and detergent solution, then resume the washing operation.
It is advisable to run a pre-wash operation before washing very filthy floor surfaces.
The machine is also fitted with a float valve that shuts off the suction function when the water level in the dirty water
tank is too high.
Under standard machine operating conditions, when filling the clean water tank accordingly, the float valve will never
be activated, unless the machine is handled roughly or the floor surface level is uneven. If the suction fan operation
stops (which can be easily noticed as the noise of the suction motor will stop and the machine will no longer vacuum),
open the lid and make sure the balls located in the float valve have dropped to release the suction function, then
resume the operation.
When completing the washing operation make sure to switch off the brushes using the button;
lift the brush plate and the squeegee, then turn on the suction function and take the machine
to the tank drainage area.
The suction function is left in on-position to keep water from leaking out from the lid in case there are uneven areas on
the floor while going to the tank drainage area.
