MACHINE PREPARATION
33.
ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE
The squeegee, that for reasons of packaging comes disassembled from the machine, must be assembled
while assembling the machine. Proceed as follows for assembly:
1.
Make sure the squeegee unit is raised, and that the selected work programme is "Transport" (position
A)
2.
Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the "0" position
3.
Engage the parking brake located on the left side of the machine
4.
Remove the key from the instrument panel
5.
First insert the right-hand pin of the squeegee (3) into the right-hand slot of the squeegee support and
screw the stud (4) on to the pin, making sure they fit tightly into their seats on the squeegee support (5)
6.
Insert the left-hand pin of the squeegee into the left-hand slot of the squeegee support and screw the
stud on to the pin, making sure they fit tightly into their seats on the squeegee support
7.
Insert the suction hose into the squeegee coupling and secure it with the clamp; also verify correct
insertion of the suction hoses from the brush head cover
WARNING: These operations must be carried out using protective gloves to
avoid any possible contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
34.
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE INCLINATION
During working operation, the rear rubber is slightly tilted backwards (by about 5mm) in a uniform way for
its whole length. If you need to increase the bend of the rubber in the central part, you must tilt the
squeegee unit. To do this, proceed as follows:
1.
Loosen the locknut (1)
2.
Turn the screw (2) anticlockwise to increase the bend of the rubber in the central part of the squeegee.
To increase the bend of the rubber at the sides of the squeegee, turn the screw (2) clockwise
3.
When fully adjusted, fix the locknut (1)
35.
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE HEIGHT
The height of the squeegee must be adjusted on the basis of the state of wear and tear of the rubber. To
do this, turn the knob (1) anticlockwise to raise the squeegee, and clockwise to lower it.
Remarks: the right and left wheels must be adjusted to the same level, so the squeegee can work parallel
to the floor.
WARNING: These operations must be carried out using protective gloves to
avoid any possible contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.
36.
ASSEMBLING THE CYLINDRICAL BRUSHES
To assemble the cylindrical brushes of the brush head body, proceed as follows:
1.
Lift the brush head unit by operating the joystick (1), the selected work programme must be "Transport"
(position A)
2.
Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the "0" position
3.
Engage the parking brake located on the left side of the machine
4.
Remove the key from the instrument panel
WARNING: During this operation, check there are no people or objects near the
brush.
