Set the desired maximum solution quantity using + and – keys.
The led lights may start flashing if there is a leakage of the solution while operating or while
attempting to enable the brush function without solution in the tank. When this occurs, make sure
to fill the tank.
Move the detergent dosing system switch to ON. The green indicator light will come on to
indicate the system is operating. The metering pump will operate in conjunction with the water
pump with the same switch-on and off procedures. The percentage of detergent will also remain
unchanged when the water flow is increased or decreased by means of the keys + and –. The
detergent flow is also proportionate to the machine speed, just like the water flow.

When starting the washing operation, make sure to lubricate the cutting edge of the splashguard blades.
As soon as the brush plate lowers with the detergent solution opened, slowly move the machine forwards and
backwards for a few meters in order get the splashguard rubber wet. This operation will protect the cutting
edge of the splashguard blades and increase its life.
To avoid damaging the floors, when you start working,
be very careful not to halt the machine over the same floor
area while the brushes continue to operate
The brushes will stop automatically after 3 seconds when the forward pedal is released. Stopping the pump and closing
the electrovalve, the flow of the solution will be shut off. When resuming the drive operation, the brushes will start and
the solution will automatically start to flow.
In case of prolonged idle time, the brush plate will lift after 1 minute and switch off the function.
The suction fan will also switch off but the function will remain active (pilot light on) and the squeegee will not lift
automatically for safety reasons. The suction fan will resume operation when the drive pedal is pressed again.
IMPORTANT: make sure to press this button to lift the squeegee.
If the squeegee leaves wet lines on the floor during the washing operation, it means that there are pieces trapped
beneath the rear rubber wheels of the squeegee. Lift the squeegee and remove the trapped pieces. Use a cloth to wipe
off the rear rubber wheels if the pieces cannot be removed manually. In any case, it is always advisable to sweep the
floors before washing.
Once the solution is used up, the machine can continue its washing operation using the ECO
SYSTEM function that can be enabled by pressing the button located in the instrument panel, this
will enable the machine to re-use the water from the recovery tank as it is duly filtered by the
special tank filter.
The ECO-SYSTEM function can also be enabled before consuming the entire detergent solution;
in this case, the operation will only be allowed if there is enough solution in the recovery tank.
The function will not be enabled if the level is too low (the pilot light will not come on when pressing the button).
If this occurs, continue to wash the floor using the detergent solution until the function can be enabled.
However, if the ECO SYSTEM is started when there is still some solution left in the clean water tank, the operation
can be deactivated at any time and it is possible to resume washing using the solution from this tank.
When using the ECO SYSTEM mode, the water is also distributed according to the speed of the machine, therefore
the maximum quantity of water will flow when the machine reaches its maximum speed.
The detergent dosing system will also remain on in ECO-SYSTEM mode. Decide whether to switch it off or reduce
the percentage inasmuch as the solution in the recovery tank already contains detergent.
It is advisable to run a pre-wash operation before washing very filthy floor surfaces, as described on page 24.
When completing the washing operation turn off the wash functions using the green ON/OFF
button, which will switch off the brush function as well as the vacuum function after a preset
delay and lift the squeegee. The 2 functions can be switched off individually using the relevant
buttons for each function. In this case, the pilot light on the green ON/OFF button will remain
active and must be switched off by pressing the button.
