MACHINE PREPARATION
21. SOLUTION
TANK
Remove the filler plug (1) at the back of the seat and check that the solution filter is installed properly.
Check that the drain pipe cap (2) located at the rear of the machine is properly closed.
WARNING: The recovery tank must be completely empty each time the
solution tank is filled.
22. FILLING THE DETERGENT/SOLUTION TANK (VERSION WITHOUT CDS)
Proceed as follows to fill the solution tank:
1.
Check that the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it.
2.
Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the "0" position
3.
Engage the parking brake
4.
Remove the filler cap (1) and check that the solution filter is fitted correctly
5.
Fill it with clean water at a temperature not exceeding 50
C.
It is possible to fill the tank without having to constantly watch the water level, using the optional rapid
filling system (2); this system is fitted with a float to control overflow. The water pipe (previously modified)
is inserted into the quick release coupling; remember to unscrew the cap (1) to allow proper air venting.
The solution tank has a maximum capacity of about 280 litres. Add the liquid detergent to the tank in the
concentration and manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label. The formation of excess foam
could damage the suction motors, so only use the minimum amount of detergent needed.
ATTENTION: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates
their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or
solvents without this indication.
In addition, you are advised to always use low foam detergents.
Do not use pure acids or detergents with a stronger gradation than that
indicated on the label supplied.
ATTENTION: Protective gloves should always be worn before handling
detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious injury to hands.
ATTENTION: always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of
foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid into
the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids.
