DETERGENT SOLUTION (only for versions without FSS)
After filling the solution tank with clean water add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration and manner indicated on the detergent
manufacturer's label. To prevent the formation of an excessive amount of foam that could damage the vacuum motor, use the minimum percentage of
detergent required.

or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
WARNING: Acid or alkaline detergents can be used with pH values between 4 and 10 and that do not contain: oxidising agents,
chlorine or bromine, formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
ATTENTION: always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of
anti-foam liquid into the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids.
