Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip and waterproof shoes, mask to protect the respiratory tract,
gloves and all other personal protection devices necessitated by the work environment.
•
Do not leave the machine unattended or parked with the key in the switch and the parking brake disengaged.
•
If you are using the machine for the first time, we recommend trying it out on a large obstacle-free surface first to
acquire the necessary familiarity.
•
To avoid damaging the surface of the floor you are cleaning, avoid rotating the brushes with the machine stationary.
•
The machine is fitted with a driver detection device. It is only possible to start the machine while seated correctly in the
driving seat. The device halts the machine if you get up from the seat.
•
Always dilute the detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or
other oxidants, particularly in strong concentrations. Do not use solvents or hydrocarbons. The water and detergent
temperature must not exceed the maximum indicated in the “Technical specifications”. They must be free of sand and/
or otherimpurities.
•
The machine has been designed for use with low-foam biodegradable detergents made specifically for scrubber driers.
•
For a complete and up-to-date list of the detergents and chemicals available, contact the Manufacturer:
•
Use products suitable for the floor and dirt to be removed only.
•
ollow the safety regulations on use of detergents given in the section “Safety regulations”.
Preparing the machine for work
Proceed as follows before starting work.
•
Check that the display shows the batteries to be fully charged. Recharge if necessary. See the “Battery maintenance
and charging” section.
•
Make sure that the dirty water tank is empty. Empty it if necessary, see “Emptying the dirty water tank”.
•
Make sure that the solution tank is full. Fill it if necessary, see “Filling the water/detergent tank”. If the machine is not
fitted with the “Chem-Dose” accessory, add detergent to the tank in the required percentage, using the measuring cap.
