Squeegee blades: replacing
The squeegee blades collect the lm of water and detergent from the oor and prepare the way for perfect drying.
With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade in contact with the oor rounded and cracked, redu-
cing the drying e󰀩ciency and requiring it to be replaced.
Turning or replacing the blades:
Parabolic squeegee
► lower the squeegee by means of the squeegee lever (g. D, ref. 2);
► tip the machine backwards and rest the handle on the oor.
► remove the suction hose sleeve (g. E, ref. 4) from the squeegee;
► remove the squeegee (g. E ref. 1) from its mount by completely unscrewing the two knobs (g. E ref.
2)
► remove the blade retainers and blades by unscrewing the knobs (g. E, ref. 5);
► reuse the same blade by reversing the edge in contact with the oor until all four edges are worn out, or
replace with a new blade, tting it onto the screws on the body of the squeegee;
► replace the two blade retainers and the blades and screw up the knobs unscrewed previously;
► replace the squeegee in its support following the instructions in the section “Mounting and adjusting the
squeegee”.
“V” squeegee
► lower the squeegee by means of the squeegee lever (g. D, ref. 2);
► remove the suction hose sleeve (g. E, ref. 8) from the squeegee;
► remove the squeegee from its mount (g. E ref. 6) by completely unscrewing the two knobs (g. E ref.
7)
► remove the blade pressing devices by opening the catch (Fig. E, ref. 11)
► reuse the same blade by reversing the edge in contact with the oor until all four edges are worn out, or
replace with a new blade, tting it onto the screws on the body of the squeegee;
► reposition the two blade pressing devices and the blades, closing the catch.;
► replace the squeegee in its support following the instructions in the section “Mounting and adjusting the
squeegee”.
Roller version
► remove the two squeegees (Fig. P, ref. 2-3)
► turn the squeegees over;
► remove the worn blades by pulling them o󰀨, and then replace them with new ones, inserting the protru-
ding tooth into the socket;
► replace the squeegee on the its support.
Fuses: replacement (battery models) (Fig. L)
The fuses protecting the electrical circuit are located in the battery compartment.
Fuse table: for the complete fuse table, see the spare parts catalogue.
Fuses: replacement (cable models) (g. M)
The fuses protecting the electrical components are on the electrical components box.
Fuse table: for the complete fuse table, see the spare parts catalogue.
IMPORTANT
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage than specied.
If a fuse continues to blow, the fault in the wiring, boards (if present) or motors must be identied and repaired.
Have the machine checked by qualied personnel.
Routine maintenance
Daily operations
After each day’s work, proceed as follows:
► disconnect the machine from the power supply;
► empty the dirty water tank and clean if necessary;
► clean the squeegee blades and check for wear. If necessary, replace.
► check that the suction hole in the squeegee is not blocked, if necessary remove encrusted dirt;
► Battery model: charge the batteries according to the procedure described;
Weekly operations
► clean the dirty water tank oat switch and make sure it is working correctly;
► clean the suction hose;
► clean the dirty water tank and detergent tank;
► Battery model: check the level of battery electrolyte and top up with distilled water if necessary;
