Cleaning the diverter valve
! INFORMATION
This procedure should take place in an area suitable for servicing
operations, as the oor will become dirty and wet.
! WARNING
Wear overalls, non-slip shoes, gloves and all other items of PPE
appropriate for the work environment.
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the oor, referring to the section “Emptying the water/detergent
tank” and “Emptying the dirty water tank”.
• Detach the front squeegee suction hose from the diverter valve.
• Detach the rear squeegee suction hose from the diverter valve.
• Release the retaining lever (g. 35, ref. 1) and remove the cover of
the diverter valve.
• Clean the chamber of the valve (g. 36, ref. 1), removing any
encrustations, and rinse with clean water; wipe the seals of the
cover with a soft cloth.
! INFORMATION
Do not clean seals with ethyl alcohol.
Cleaning the squeegee
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the oor, referring to the section “Emptying the water/detergent
tank” and “Emptying the dirty water tank”.
• Pull the handle up perpendicular to the machine.
• Tilt the machine backwards and rest the handle on the oor.
• Clean the blades of both squeegees with a moist cloth (g. 37,
ref. 1).
• Clean the suction inlet port of both squeegees (g. 37, ref. 2).
Squeegee adjustment
The squeegee is factory-adjusted to give an optimum drying action on
di󰀨erent types of oor surface, but in the event that results do not meet
expectations, there are further adjustments that can be made.
To ensure a faultless drying action, the lip of the squeegee blade should
deect 45° along its entire length, relative to the oor surface; the height
of the squeegee can be adjusted by raising or lowering the wheels (g.
38, ref. 1).
Replacing the squeegee blades
The squeegee blades collect the lm of water and detergent from the
oor and prepare the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant
wiping action causes the edge of the blade in contact with the oor to
become rounded and cracked, with the result that drying is less thorough
and the blade must be replaced. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them
on the oor, referring to the section “Emptying the water/detergent
tank” and “Emptying the dirty water tank”.
