INSTALLING THE BATTERY CHARGER

 

 

Install the battery charger in a ventilated and dry place, far from heat sources and corrosive 

environments. Make sure that the voltages are correct (see the data plate located on the 

battery charger). Protect the mains with a delayed switch or with a load fuse higher than 

the max. power consumption of the battery charger. Observe the polarity of the battery soc- 

ket (black cables are identified by s and -). 

 

CHOOSING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION

 

 

For a good cleaning of the floor, it is important to choose the proper detergent solution. If 

necessary, ask the supplier or a competent person for the proper solution. Keep in mind that 

a too strong chemical agent can compromise the long life of each machine. It is neces- sary 

to use a low-sudsing detergent solution, or an antifoaming additive, in order not to da- mage 

the vacuum motor. If it is impossible to get these products, use some vinegar to 

avoid foam, pouring 50cc of it in the recovery tank before scrubbing. 

 

STARTING AND PREPARING THE MACHINE

 

 

If the scrubber is connected to the battery charger (having finished the charge operation), 

detach the battery charger plug from the socket (located on the machine) coming from the 

battery (fig.). Then, connect the plug of the machine to this latter (fig.). Close the battery co- 

ver again. The machine should be operated by turning the master key switch (fig.). Then, 

proceed with the water loading described under the paragraph (par.). Perform the scrub- bing 

once the work place has been reached. 

 

SCRUBBING

 

 

The scrubbing operation is very delicate, as the operator

’s experience must be used to deci- 

de upon the brush type, the requirement of a possible double scrubbing operation, the right 

cleanser choice and the right machine adjustments: if only one of these factors is inadequa- 

te, the scrubbing operation can give very poor results. If the floor is very dirty or difficult to be 

cleaned, a double scrubbing operation is recommended. In this first phase, the squee- gee 

must be lifted and the brushes must be in working position. Start the brushes and pass the 

machine over a surface of some tenth sq. mt. Let the detergent solution on the floor to 

dissolve the dirt, then pass the machine again. For this second machine passage, lower 

the brushes and bring the squeegee in contact with the floor. Look at the floor after this se- 

cond passage and decide if the scrubbing operation was enough or if an additional opera- 

tion is required. To perform the scrubbing procedure, turn the switch to pos. 2 (fig.) and keep 

it there till you hear the end-of-stroke croaking noise. The motor brushes will go auto- 

matically on and the brushes wil be in contact with the floor, with the right pressure too. Now 

operate tmmediately the lever to apply the detergent water, and adjust it accordingly. Put the 

run selector (fig.) in its forward position and press the pedal (fig.) so that the machi- 

ne moves forward and starts scrubbing. The water dosage must be adjusted to get the who- 

le suface completely wet after the brush passage, but without any excess, that could gene- 

rate splashes, stream or flows out of the squeegee. If no double scrubbing will be effected, 

lower the squeegee immediately after having put to forward the run selector. The squeegee is 

lowered through the switch set to pos. 1 (firm). The suction motors go automatically on during 

the squeegee lowering and go off when it is lifted back. At the end of the scrubbing and 

drying operation, close water through its lever (fig.), then set the switch (fig.) to pos. 1 till you 

hear the end-of-stroke noise, to lift the brushes. Finally, set the switch (fig.) to pos. 0 to lift 
the squeegee. Note that, during backwards motion, the squeegee is automatically lif- ted. 

WATER FILLING AND DISCHARGE, TANK CLEANING

 

 

Before every scrubbing operation, open the door (fig.) and fill the solution tank with the right 

quantity of water and cleanser. The tank is made of polyethilene, resistant to all acid and 

basic solutions and to all dissolvents found on the market. At the end of the scrubbing 

operation,  discharge the  dirty water from the  recovery tank  by  means  of  the  hose  (fig.). The 

recovery  tank  is  made  of  polyethilene  too.  Accurately  clean  the  recovery  tank  at  least  once 

per week.
