USING THE MACHINE
Our squeegee machines must be operated by properly trained authorised staff.
Squeegee machines that do not operate properly must be taken out of service immediately.
CHECK BEFORE USE
Make sure to check the following before using the machine:
Make sure the battery connector is plugged-in;
Make sure the key is fitted correctly;
Check the battery charge level.
The level of charge in the batteries is displayed via the
battery level indicator. When the brush is activated the
machine runs a check of the batteries, and the LEDs on the
indicator light up. During this phase the brush completes
one rotation and then stops. After a moment, the brush
restarts working and the battery level indicator will reflect
the level of charge in the batteries. If the red LED is on the
brushes will stop working automatically, therefore connect
the charger and fully charge the batteries.
Charge the batteries if the battery charging level is low.
Make sure the brushes or discs are in good condition
and mounted correctly.
Make sure the splash guards that are mounted into the
brush plate are in good condition.
Make sure the rubber wheels on the squeegee are in
good condition and set properly.
OPERATION
Lower the squeegee by turning the special lever;
Lower the brush plate using the pedal;
Turn on the brush and the suction fan using the buttons in the instrument panel;
Turn on the suction fan using the special button in the instrument panel.
To avoid damaging the floor,
be very careful not to halt the machine over the same floor area while the brushes
continue to operate.
Make sure to turn off the brush using the button in the instrument panel when coming into a stop
position and shut off the water using the manual valve.
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.
Make sure to check the level of the solution present in the clean water tank through the clear pipe.
Once the detergent solution is used up, take the machine to the tank drainage area, drain the dirty water into the
appropriate location, ready for disposal, then wash the water tank and fill up the tank with clean water and a mix of
water and detergent solution, then resume the washing operation.
It is advisable to run a pre-wash operation before washing very filthy floor surfaces.
The machine is also fitted with a float valve that shuts off the suction function when the water level in the dirty water
tank is too high.
Under standard machine operating conditions, when filling the clean water tank accordingly, the float valve will never
be activated, unless the machine is handled roughly or the floor surface level is uneven. If the suction fan operation
stops (which can be easily noticed as the noise of the suction motor will stop and the machine will no longer vacuum),
open the lid and make sure the balls located in the float valve have dropped to release the suction function, then
resume the operation.
When completing the washing operation make sure to switch off the brushes using the special
buttons according to each version; Shut off the water valve, lift the brush plate and the
squeegee, then
turn on the suction function and take the machine to the tank drainage
area.
The suction function is left in on-position to keep water from leaking out from the lid in case there are uneven areas on
the floor while going to the tank drainage area.
