Squeegee assembly and setup
Machine is packed and delivered with no sqeueegee mounted, due to packaging reasons. You have to do as follows:
1. Loosen the handwheel on the pin (Fig. 9).
2. Insert squeegee pins into the slots of the tie rod / arm holding a washer above and one below the plate of the rod
(Fig. 10).
3. Successively, screw the handweel, to lock the squeegee on the right position (Fig. 11).
4. Insert the squeegee hose in the provided sleeve.
5. Regulate the position of the squeegee so that during the gear the back rubber works slightly bent backwards, in a
uniform manner along its entire length (Fig. 11).
6. If needed, to increase the bend of the rubber in the central part, it is request to rake backwards the squeegee,
turning the handweel anticlockwise (Fig. 11). To increase the bend of the rubber on the sides, turn the handweel
clockwise. (Fig. 11).

Handle regulation
The handle, bended for packing reasons, must be put in the working position (Fig. 4):
1. Unscrew the handwheel
2. Move the handle and put it in the working position
3. Lock the position by tightening the knob.
6.8 Installing the disk brush (Models E45 & E50)
1. Lift up the squeegee
2. Lift up the machine pressing on the handle.
3. Lean the machine on the brush, being sure not to interfere with the brush cover.
5. Press the brushes switch (only battery version) and few times the start button (Fig. 8-4 & Fig. 7-5)
4. The brush locks automatically.
To avoid damages to the floors, choose with care the brushes and disks’ type, more suitable for the surfaces to
treat. Be sure there are no people or objects nearby.
6.9 Recovery tank
Check that the cap of the drain hose is screwed on and the hose is connected to the tank.
6.10 Solution tank
Fill with clean water at a temperature that does not exceed 50°C (fig. 7-2) solution tank. Add liquid detergent in the
amounts and using the procedures recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Use only a minimal percentage of
detergent to prevent formation of an excess quantity of foam since too much foam may damage the aspiration motor.
Always use low foam detergent. Introduce a small amount of anti-foam detergent in the recuperation tank
before starting to work to be sure to prevent foam from being generated. Never use pure acids. Put the refill
opening cover back in place after filling the tank.
6.11 Battery charge level gauge
A single tool indicates and controls:
1. Working hours.
2. Batteries charge level, which is displayed with the voltage and the 9 segments light bar.
3. Minimum voltage: when the battery reaches this voltage, the device cuts power to the motor brush and vacuum
cleaner. When this function is activated, the first segment of the bar will flash for about 20 seconds, then flashes the
battery symbol.
In order to bring the machine to the recharging point, lift up the front of the machine and move leaning on the
wheels.
