ADJUSTMENT INTERVENTIONS
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY'S RUBBER BLADES
The careful adjustment of the squeegee body rubber blades guarantees better cleaning of the oor.
To adjust the height of the squeegee body:
1. The distance of the squeegee rubber blades from the oor can be adjusted by changing the distance between the wheels (1) located on the
squeegee support and the oor itself (Fig.1).
2. To adjust this distance, simply use the adjustment knobs (2) located on the squeegee support (Fig.2).
N.B.: To decrease the distance, simply turn the adjustment levers (2) in the direction indicated by the arrows with the sign "-", while to
increase the distance just follow the arrows with the "+" sign.
N.B.: On decreasing the distance, the rubber blades on the squeegee body will move closer to the oor.
N.B.: For e󰀨ective drying, the wheels must be at the same distance from the oor.
N.B.: Check for proper adjustment by looking at the instrument (3) positioned on the squeegee body (Fig.2).
Adjusting the tilt of the squeegee body:
3. The angle of incline of the squeegee body is adjusted by rotating the lever (4) located on the squeegee support (Fig.3).
4. To adjust the inclination of the squeegee body, loosen the knob (5) and tighten or loosen the lever (4) (Fig.3), until the squeegee body
rubber blades are bent towards the outside evenly along the entire length by about 30° with respect to the oor.
N.B.: Check for proper adjustment by looking at the instrument (6) positioned on the squeegee body (Fig.2).
N.B.: Moving the lever (4) clockwise will raise the central part of the squeegee body from the oor.
5. Once the adjustment has been completed, tighten the knob (5).
N.B.: Before using the machine, remember to adjust the squeegee body: see the section titled “ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY'S
RUBBER BLADES”.
N.B.: It is recommended to replace both squeegee body blades in order to ensure good results when drying the oor.
CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
Used on all types of oors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). PPL is non-hygroscopic and therefore
retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty oors. To avoid oor damage, work
only with the pressure strictly necessary.
BRISTLE THICKNESS
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth oors or oors with small joints.
On uneven oors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the gaps more easily.
Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no longer able to penetrate and clean deep
down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush tends to jump.
PAD HOLDER
The pad holder is recommended for cleaning shiny surfaces.
There are two types of pad holder:
1. The traditional pad holder is tted with a series of anchor points that allow the abrasive oor pad to be held and dragged while working.
2. the CENTRE LOCK type pad holder not only has anchor points, but also a snap-type central locking system in plastic that allows the abrasive
oor pad to be perfectly centred and held without any risk of it becoming detached. This type of pad holder is recommended above all for
machines with more than one brush, where the centring of the abrasive discs is di󰀩cult.
