IPC CT45 - Machine Preparation for Work; Operating the Machine

GB
The machine has been designed for use with low-foam biodegradable detergents made specically for scrubber
driers.
For a complete and up-to-date list of the detergents and chemicals available, contact the Manufacturer.
Use products suitable for the oor and dirt to be removed only.
Follow the safety regulations on use of detergents given in the section “Safety regulations”.
Preparing the machine for work
IMPORTANT
Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip waterproof shoes, mask to protect the re-
spiratory tract, gloves and all other personal protection devices recommended by the supplier of the
detergent used or necessitated by the work environment.
Before starting work, proceed as follows:
► Battery models: check the battery charge (charge if necessary);
► make sure the dirty water tank (g. A, ref. 2) is empty. If necessary, empty it;
► via the opening at the front, ll the detergent tank (g. A, ref. 8) with a suitable concentration of clean
water and low-foam detergent. Leave at least 5 cm between the surface of the liquid and the opening of
the tank;
► mount the most suitable brushes or drive disks for the oor and work to be performed (see paragraph
3.4);
► make sure that the squeegee is securely attached, connected to the suction hose; make sure that the
front and rear blades are not worn.
► adjust the squeegee working height.
► roller version, adjust the brush roller working height, turning the corresponding knob (Fig. Q, ref. 1); the
adjustments must be made with the machine in operating mode (transport wheel disengaged), with the
power cable unplugged (cable model) from the mains power supply, or with the machine o󰀨, for battery
models.
i INFORMATION
If you are using the machine for the rst time, we recommend trying it on a large obstacle-free surface
rst to acquire the necessary familiarity.
Always empty the dirty water tank before lling the detergent tank again.
For e󰀨ective cleaning and to extend the working life of the machine, follow a few simple rules:
► prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles;
► begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just cleaned;
► choose the straightest possible working routes;
► divide large oors into parallel rectangular sections.
If necessary, nish o󰀨 by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the scrubber drier.
Working
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows.
► Connect the machine as follows:
► cable model: plug the machine into the mains power socket;
► lower the squeegee using the lever provided (Fig. D, ref. 2), standard version with brushes and drive
disks;
► press the main switch (g. C, ref. 3) (LED on);
► press the brush button (g. C, ref. 4) “LED on”, this will also automatically activate suction and solution
ow. To extend machine operating time, the ECO function can be activated (see the paragraph “Con-
trols - Descriptions”);
► select the direction of movement by pressing the button (g. D, ref. 4) (models with electric drive)
► adjust the forward/reverse speed by turning the potentiometer (g D, ref. 5) (models with electric drive)
► press the brush lever (g. D, ref. 1);
► check regularly that detergent is reaching the brushes and top up if necessary;
► while working, check the quality of washing and adjust the ow of detergent to the brushes using the
detergent tap (g. G, ref. 2), in the ECS model, the detergent tap must always be fully open.
