REPLACING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSH (SCRUBBING VERSION)
Ensuring the integrity of the brush will guarantee better floor cleaning results, and will extend the service life of the brush head's gearmotor. To
replace the brush, proceed as follows:
1. Move to the rear of the machine, press the uncoupling lever (7) (
Fig.8
) and open the battery compartment closing carter, using the handle
(8) (
Fig.9
).
ATTENTION:
the following operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect connection of the connector may cause a
malfunction of the device.
2. Connect the battery connector to the electrical system connector.
3. Reclose the battery compartment closure carter, make sure that the retainer system is correctly engaged.
4. Activate the machine by pressing the button (9) located on the control panel (
Fig.10
).
5. Lift the front of the machine from the control panel (
Fig.11
).
6. Pressing the operator presence lever (10) (
Fig.12
) three times activates the brush uncoupling function.
N.B.:
Once the brush uncoupling sequence has started, the symbol “
S
” appears on the control display (
Fig.13
).
ATTENTION:
during this operation, check there are no people or objects near the machine.
REPLACING THE SQUEEGEE BODY RUBBER BLADES
Ensuring the integrity of the squeegee body's rubber blades guarantees better floor cleaning and drying results, as well as a longer service life
for the vacuum motor. In order to replace the squeegee body's rubber blades, do the following:
1. Move to the front right of the machine and turn the squeegee support counter-clockwise (
Fig.1
).
2. Unscrew the squeegee tube (1) from the nozzle on the squeegee body (
Fig.2
)
3. Completely unscrew the knobs (2) on the squeegee body pre-assembly (
Fig.3
).
4. Remove the squeegee body from the slits in the squeegee connector.
5. Remove the rear rubber blade compression plate, and release the stopper (3) at the rear of the squeegee (
Fig.4
).
6. Remove the rear rubber blade (4) from the squeegee body (
Fig.5
) and replace it with the new one.
7. Completely unscrew the knobs (5) in the squeegee body's pre-assembly (
Fig.6
).
8. Remove the front rubber blade (6) from the body inside the squeegee (
Fig.7
) and replace it with the new one.
9. Repeat the operations in reverse order to reassemble all the parts.
N.B.:
It is recommended to replace both squeegee body blades in order to ensure good results when drying the floor.
CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
Used on all types of floors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). PPL is non-hygroscopic and therefore
retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty floors. To avoid floor damage, work
only with the pressure strictly necessary.
BRISTLE THICKNESS
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth floors or floors with small joints.
On uneven floors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the gaps more easily.
Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no longer able to penetrate and clean deep
down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush tends to jump.
Before carrying out any extraordinary maintenance operations, proceed as follows:
1. Take the machine to the maintenance area.
WARNING:
the place designated for this operation must comply with current regulations concerning safety at work and current
environmental protection regulations.
2. Carry out the steps necessary to secure the machine (see chapter “MACHINE SAFETY” on page 11).
ATTENTION:
It is recommended to wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), suitable for the work to be carried out.
