DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK
The capacity of the detergent solution tank is indi-
cated in the technical data.
Open the screw plug placed in the left part of the
machine and fill the detergent solution tank with
clean water at a maximum temperature of 50°C. Add
the liquid detergent in the percentage and condi-
tions foreseen by the manufacturer. To avoid exces-
sive foam presence, which could cause problems to
the suction motors, use the minimum percentage of
detergent. Screw down the plug to close the solution
tank.
The switching on of the signal lamp of low detergent
(19) indicates that the detergent solution is nearly
exhausted.
ATTENTION:
Use always low foam detergent. To avoid foam pres-
ence, before starting working operation, introduce
into the recovery tank a minimum quantity of anti-
foam product.
Never use pure acid.
STARTING OF THE MACHINE
A safety device avoids the machine’s movement if
the operator is not seated correctly on the guiding
place.
To switch on the machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on
the machine.
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. With the selector (12) in central position (BREAK
WASHING) the transfer operations of the machine
are carried out (see under paragraph “FORWARD
AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT").
5. Moving the selector (12) onto the left, the auto-
matic (AUTO) functioning is chosen. Moving it in-
stead onto the right, the functioning of the machine
becomes manual (MAN):
A. If the selector (12) is in position (AUTO) the ma-
chine activates and deactivates all the working func-
tions in an automatic mode (see under paragraph
“WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE”).
B. If the selector (12) is in position (MAN) every
function of the machine has to be activated or deac-
tivated manually (see under paragraph “WORKING IN
MANUAL MODE”).
FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT
It is recommendable to carry out always the mere
transfer of the machine in mode (BREAK WASHING).
To proceed to activate the movement of the machine:
1. Sit on the guiding place.
2. Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on
the machine.
3. Check the charge level of the batteries on the
display (1).
4. Release the parking brake. If the brake was in-
serted, the signal lamp (17) would be switched on
(see under paragraph "EMERGENCY-PARKING
BRAKE”).
5. Bring the selector (12) in central position (BREAK
WASHING) to carry out the mere transfer of the ma-
chine. In fact, in this mode the washing functions of
the machine are not working and only the traction
system functions.
6. Select the driving sense with the selector (8).
7. Press onto the accelerator pedal placed on the
right side to start the machine.
8. Adjust the driving speed in forward choosing the
slow one (at the maximum you can reach 4,5 km/h)
or, pressing the same selector (9) upwards, the faster
one (at the maximum you can reach 7 km/h) can be
obtained.
In backward movement, when the machine is mov-
ing, an intermittent warning device is activated.
9. The machine is equipped with an automatic sys-
tem that reduces the speed when the drive direction
is changed. The speed reduction is as higher as
sharper is the curve.
The speed returns again normally as soon as the ma-
chine gets out from the curve and it runs along
straight paths.
HORN
The machine is equipped with a horn which is acti-
vated pressing the push button (6).
WORKING BRAKE
The machine is equipped with a hydraulic braking
system that acts on the rear wheels.
To brake it is sufficient to press the pedal placed at
the left side of the steering column releasing instead
the accelerator pedal.
