AUTOMATIC 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 movement.
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 operator’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 optimum flow,
depending on the type of floor and the type of dirt (see under the
paragraph “FLOW ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION”).
3.
Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the selector (8),
pressing the accelerator pedal and adjusting the speed of the
forward movement with the selector (9), the machine starts to
proceed and in automatic mode all the working functions are
activated. 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 solution to flow down onto the
brushes and the suction 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 return to lower itself during the next
forward movement.
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 mode 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.
Activate the machine (see under paragraph “STARTING 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 indicate that the solenoid valve is open.
3.
Check that the lever (10) is in the position of optimum flow,
depending on the type of floor and the type of dirt (see under the
paragraph “FLOW ADJUSTMENT 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) indicates that the machine is drying.
Selecting the sense of drive in forward with the selector (8), pressing
the accelerator pedal and adjusting the speed of the forward movement
with the selector (9), the machine starts to proceed and in automatic
mode all the working functions previously set are activated.
In manual mode every function of the machine has to be activated or
deactivated manually
.
