CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE
The careful cleaning of the whole vacuum unit ensures better drying and cleaning of the floor as well as a
longer suction motor life. Proceed as follows for cleaning:
1.
Check that the parking brake is engaged, and if not, engage it
2.
Check that the electrical system connector is disconnected from the battery connector, and if not,
disconnect it
3.
Check the main switch is on “0” (turn it to this position if necessary)
4.
Disconnect the squeegee by loosening the knobs (1)
5.
Clean the squeegee unit and the rubber blades thoroughly with a jet of water, verify that there are no
dirt residues in the vacuum chamber of the squeegee
ATTENTION: This operation must be carried out wearing gloves to protect
against contact with dangerous solutions.
If the front squeegee rubber is worn, vacuum will be poor and the machine will not dry the floor properly; in
this case replace it (see section REPLACEMENT OF FRONT SQUEEGEE RUBBER). If the rear squeegee
rubber is worn, vacuum will be poor and the machine will not dry the floor properly; in this case replace it
(see section REPLACEMENT OF REAR SQUEEGEE RUBBER).
After cleaning, replace the squeegee on its support:
1.
Insert the squeegee right-hand pin into the right-hand slot of the squeegee support, secure it by means
of the handwheel (1).
2.
Insert the squeegee left-hand pin into the left-hand slot of the squeegee support, secure it by means of
the handwheel (2).
3.
Finally insert the squeegee tube in the special sleeve.
ATTENTION: These operations must be carried out using gloves to protect
against contact with dangerous solutions.
