Maintenance - General rules
Performing regular maintenance according to the Manufacturer’s
instructions improves performance and extends the working life
of the machine.
When cleaning the machine, observe the following precautions:
•
Avoid using pressure washers. Water could penetrate the electrical
compartment or motors leading to damage or short circuits.
•
Do not use steam to avoid the heat warping plastic parts.
•
Do not use solvents or hydrocarbon based products. These can
damage the cowling and rubber components.
Cleaning the suction motor air filter
Open the dirty water tank lid by releasing the closing level, then remove the filter
(Fig. 15-ref. 1), wash it under running water or using the same detergent as used
on the machine, then dry and reposition the filter. Lift the tank, remove the filter
(Fig. 16-ref. 1), wash it under running water or using the same detergent as used
on the machine, then dry and reposition the filter.
Cleaning the debris container
Open the dirty water tank lid, then empty the debris accumulated
in the container (Fig. 15-ref. 2); if needing to wash the container, remove
it by lifting it out and then clean it.
Cleaning the dirty water tank float
Open the dirty water tank lid, then remove the debris container by lifting
it out (Fig. 15-ref. 2), turn the float protector (Fig. 15-ref. 3) and then clean the float;
make sure that the float slides freely on its pin.
Cleaning the water/detergent tank filter

•
Unscrew the filter cap (Fig. 17-ref. 1), remove the filter/hose union (Fig. 17-ref.
2, then wash under running water or using the same detergent as used on the
machine.
•
Replace the filter in its housing, making sure it is correctly positioned and screw
the cover back on.
