EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE
In case of an emergency pull the lever of the emer-
gency and parking brake (1) placed on the left side
of the seat.
On the instrument board the signal lamp (17) comes
on which signals that the parking brake is inserted.
To release the parking brake press the button (2)
placed at the final part of the brake lever (1) and
simultaneously lower it to the end.
AUTOMATISM SQUEEGEE LIFTING WHEN GOING
BACKWARDS
Selecting the backwards movement the squeegee is
brought automatically to the upper position. It will
then lower again in the following forward move-
ment.
This happens both in automatic as in manual mode
in order to protect the integrity of the squeegee.
WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE
The automatic operation is useful to simplify the op-
erator’s work.
1. Activate the machine (see under paragraph
“STARTING OF THE MACHINE”) putting the selector
(12) into the left position to choose the automatic
function (AUTO).
2. Check that the lever (10) is in the position of op-
timum flow, depending on the type of floor and the
type of dirt (see under the paragraph “FLOW AD-
JUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION”).
3. Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the
selector (8), pressing the accelerator pedal and ad-
justing the speed of the forward movement with the
selector (9), the machine starts to proceed and in au-
tomatic mode all the working functions are activat-
ed. In fact, automatically both the brushes base as
the squeegee go down, the brushes begin to turn,
the solenoid valve opens to permit the detergent so-
lution to flow down onto the brushes and the suc-
tion system is activated to recover the dirty water
from the floor.
Selecting the backward movement with the selector
(8) the squeegee lifts automatically and will then re-
turn to lower itself during the next forward move-
ment.
If the accelerator pedal is released for more than 3
seconds, automatically all the functions are
switched off and both the brushes base as the
squeegee are lifted.
Pressing again the pedal, the machine starts to
move again and in automatic mode all the working
functions are reactivated
.
WORKING IN MANUAL MODE
The manual model is useful when, in special cases, it
is necessary to carry out separately only the washing
with the brushes or only the drying of the floor.
ATTENTION:
The washing and drying functions, when they are
not carried out simultaneously, represent an im-
proper use of the machine (see under paragraph
“GENERAL RULES OF SECURITY”). If they are car-
ried out separately, it is necessary to forbid the
working areas to the passage of non-authorized
personnel and to signal the areas of moist floors
with suitable signs
.
Activate the machine (see under paragraph “START-
ING OF THE MACHINE”) positioning the selector (12)
to the right to choose the manual mode (MAN).
TO CARRY OUT THE WASHING WITH ONLY THE
BRUSHES:
1. Activate the selector (14) of up/down of the
brushes base to lower the brushes. Once that it is
lowered, the brushes begin to turn. The signal lamp
(22) indicates that the brushes base is in the working
position, while the signal lamp (23) signals that the
brushes are turning.
2. Press the switch (11) to open the solenoid valve
and permit the detergent solution to lower onto the
brushes. The signal lamp (24) will come on to indi-
cate that the solenoid valve is open.
3. Check that the lever (10) is in the position of op-
timum flow, depending on the type of floor and the
type of dirt (see under the paragraph “FLOW AD-
JUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION”).
TO CARRY OUT THE FUNCTION OF ONLY DRYING:
1. Activate the selector (15) of up/down squeegee
to lower the squeegee. The signal lamp (21) indicates
that the squeegee is in the working position.
2. Press the switch (16) of the suction motors to
start the suction system. The signal lamp (18) indi-
cates that the machine is drying.
Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the se-
lector (8), pressing the accelerator pedal and adjust-
ing the speed of the forward movement with the se-
lector (9), the machine starts to proceed and in au-
tomatic mode all the working functions previously
set are activated.
ATTENTION:
In manual mode every function of the machine has
to be activated or deactivated manually
.
