non-compliance  with  the  aforementioned

instructions.

 Before using the machine, make sure that each

part is in the correct position.

 The machine can only be used by personnel who

have received appropriate training, who have proven

their skills and who have been expressly assigned to

use it. To avoid unauthorised use, keep the machine in

a place that denies access to unauthorised personnel

when not being used.

 Minors are prohibited from using the machine.

 Do not operate this machine for any other purpose

except for the use for which it was specifically designed.

Evaluate the type of building where it will be utilised

and rigorously comply with the current safety regulations

and conditions.

 Do not use the machine in places without adequate

lighting, in explosive environments, when harmful dirt

is present (dust, gas, etc.), on roads or public passage

ways and in outdoor environments in general.

 The machine operating temperature range is +4°C

to + 35°C; when not being used, store the machine in

a  dry  and  non-corrosive  environment  within  a

temperature range of b 10°C and + 50°C.

When  using  the  machine  under  any  condition  the

humidity must range between 30% and 95%.

 Never use or vacuum liquids, gases, dry dust, acids

and solvents (e.g. paint thinners, acetone, etc.), even

if diluted, inflammables or explosives (e.g. petrol, fuel

oil, etc.); never vacuum flaming or incandescent objects.

 Do not use the machine on slopes or ramps steeper

than 10%; for small slopes, do not use the machine

sideways, always handle it with caution and never move

backwards. When transporting the machine on steeper

ramps or slopes, be very careful to avoid tipping and/or

uncontrolled accelerations. Use only the lowest speed!

The machine can be handled on ramps and/or steps

only with the brush head and squeegee lifted off the

ground.

 Never park the machine on a slope.

 The machine should never be left unattended with

the motors running; it can be left unattended only after

turning off the motors, ensuring that it won’t make any

accidental movements and disconnecting it from the

electric power supply.

 Make sure there are no other persons, and children

in particular, in the area where the machine is being

used.

Do not use the machine to transport persons/things

or to tow objects. Do not tow the machine.

 Do not use the machine as a support surface for

any weight for any reason.

Do  not  block  the  ventilation  and  heat  dispersion

openings.

 Do not remove, modify or by-pass the safety devices.

 Always  use  individual  safety  devices  to  ensure

operator safety: aprons or safety overalls, non-slip and

waterproof  shoes,  rubber  gloves,  goggles  and

earphones, and masks to protect the respiratory tract.

Before starting to work, remove necklaces, watches,

ties and other objects that may cause serious injuries.

 Do not insert hands between moving parts.

 Do not use detergents that differ from those required

and follow the instructions indicated on the relative

safety sheets. Detergents should be stored in a place

that is inaccessible to children. In case of contact with

the eyes, rinse immediately with copious amounts of

water and, if swallowed, immediately consult a physician.

Make sure that the battery charger power sockets are

connected to an efficient earthing system and that they

are protected by magnetothermal and differential circuit-

breakers.

 If you are going to equip the machine with dry (gel)

batteries, be sure the battery power indicator on the

control  panel,  has  been  set  properly.  Check  this

procedure with your dealer.

 Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions and

comply with legal provisions. The batteries should

always be clean and dry to avoid surface leakage

currents. Protect the batteries against impurities, such

as metallic dust.

 Do not place tools on top of the batteries: they may

cause a short-circuit or an explosion.

 When using battery acid, rigorously respect the

relative safety instructions. In the presence of particularly

strong magnetic fields, evaluate the possible effect on

electronic control devices.

Never spray water on the machine to clean it.

 Recovered fluids contain detergents, disinfectants,

water, as well as organic and inorganic material collected

during work operations: dispose of them in accordance

with current legal provisions.

  If  the  machine  malfunctions  and/or  operates

inefficiently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting it from

the electric power supply or from the batteries) and do

not tamper with it.

Contact one of the manufacturer’s technical service

centres.

 All maintenance or accessory replacement operations

must be carried out in environments with adequate

lighting and only after having disconnected the machine

from the electric power supply by detaching the battery

connector.

 All work on the electrical system and all maintenance

and repair operations (especially those not explicitly

described in this manual) should be carried out only by

authorised service centres or by specialised technical

personnel who are experts in the sector and in the

pertinent safety regulations.

  The  machine  owner  can  only  use  original

accessories and spare parts supplied exclusively by

the manufacturer since such parts are the only ones

that guarantee that the equipment will operate safely

without any problems. Do not use parts disassembled

from other machines or other kits as spare parts.

If the machine will no longer be used, remove the

batteries and dispose of them in accordance with the

eco-compatibility regulations as set forth in European

standard 91/157/EEC or deposit them in an authorised

collection centre.

To dispose of the machine, comply with the current

laws where it is used:

- disconnect the machine from the mains and clean it

after emptying any liquids;

- separate the machine into groups of homogeneous

materials (plastics in accordance with the recycling

symbol, metals, rubber, packing). For parts containing

different materials, contact the competent authorities;

Each homogeneous group must be disposed of in

accordance with recycling laws.

In addition, it is recommended to eliminate those parts

of the machine that may be dangerous, especially for

children.

  Before  each  use,  check  the  machine  and,  in

particular, check that the battery charging cable and

the connector are in good condition and safe for use.

If they are not in perfect condition, do not use the

machine for any reason until an authorised specialist

repairs the defective parts.

 If foam or liquid is noted, immediately turn off the

suction motor.

 Do not use the machine on textile flooring, such as

rugs, carpeting, etc.

Wax, foaming detergents or dispersions along the hoses

may cause serious problems for the machine or clog

the hoses.

3.2 NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

The machine is designed for indoor use and therefore

is not subject to the reference directives.

4. HANDLING INFORMATION

4.1 PACKING LIFTING AND TRANSPORT

 During all lifting or transport operations, make sure

that the packed machine is securely anchored to prevent

it from tipping over or falling accidentally.

Transport vehicle loading and unloading operations

must be carried out with adequate lighting.

The packed machine must be handled using adequate

devices, making sure not to damage/strike any part of

the packing, not to tip it over and to be very careful

when placing it on the ground.

 All these instructions also apply to the batteries and

the battery charger.

4.2 CHECKS UPON DELIVERY

 When the goods are delivered (machine, battery

or battery charger) by the transporter, carefully check

the condition of the packing and its contents. If the

contents have been damaged, notify the transporter

and reserve the right, in writing (select the word “reserve”

on the document), to submit a claim for compensation

before accepting the goods.

4.3 UNPACKING

  Wear safety clothing and use adequate tools to limit

the risks of accidents.

Carry out the following steps if the machine is packed

with a cardboard housing:

- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the plastic

straps.

- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the

packed machine.

- Remove the envelops inside and check their contents

(use  and  maintenance  manual,  battery  charger

connector)

- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that

secure the machine to the pallet.

- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the

packing.

- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it backward)

by using an inclined surface that is solidly attached to

the floor and to the pallet.

If the machine is packed in a wooden crate:

- Detach all the wooden sides from the pallet, starting

from the top one.

-  Remove  the  protective  film  wrapped  around  the

machine.

- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that

secure the machine to the pallet.

- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the

packing.

- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it backward)

by using an inclined surface that is solidly attached to

the floor and to the pallet.

Take  the  same  precautions  and  follow  the  same

instructions to remove the optional battery charger from

the packing (holding the special handles to extract it

from the top of the packing) and the optional battery.

After moving the machine away from all the packing,

start mounting the accessories and the batteries as per

the instructions provided in the specific section.

Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might be

useful in the future to protect the machine and the

accessories during transport to another location or to

authorised service centres. If not, the packing can be

disposed in accordance with current disposal laws.

4.4 LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHINE, BATTERY

AND BATTERY CHARGER

 Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine. There

are no places on the frame that can be used to lift the

machine directly.

Before preparing the packing and transporting the

machine:

- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent solution

tank.

-  Disassemble  the  squeegee  and  the  brushes  or

scrapers.

- Disconnect and remove the batteries.

Place the machine on the original pallet (or an equivalent

one that can bear the weight and is big enough for the

machine’s overall dimensions) using an inclined surface.

Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to the

pallet using metallic brackets or other elements that

can bear the weight of the parts.

Lift the pallet with the machine and load it on the

transport vehicle.

Secure  the  machine  and  the  pallet  using  ropes

connected to the transport vehicle.

As an alternative, when using private transport vehicles,

use inclined ramps to push the machine without the

pallet, making sure to protect all parts and the machine

itself against violent impacts, humidity, vibrations and

accidental movements during transport.

  To  lift  or  insert  the  battery  (into  the  machine

compartment),  use  only  suitable  personnel  and

equipment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the operation

and to bear the weight of the loads involved. When

transporting, take the same precautions and follow the

same instructions provided for the machine together

with those in the special manufacturer’s manual.
