TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
INSUFFICIENT WATER ONTO THE BRUSH
1. Make sure the water valve is open (lever 1).
2. Confirm there is water in the solution tank.
3. Make sure that the solenoid valve switch is on (button furthest on right).
THE MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN SATISFACTORILY
Check the condition of the brush and replace it if necessary. The brush should be
replaced when the bristles reach about 5/8 inch (15mm).
THE SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY THE FLOOR WELL
1. Check that the squeegee blades are clean.
2. Adjust the inclination of the squeegee (see “MACHINE PREPARATION” #9).
3. Confirm the vacuum hose is correctly fitted in its housing on the recovery tank.
4. Take off the entire vacuum assembly and clean it.
5. Replace the blades if worn.
6. Check that the vacuum motor switch is on.
7. Check the squeegee height adjustment (see “MACHINE PREPARATION #8).
EXCESSIVE FOAM PRODUCTION
Check that a low foam detergent has been used. If required, add a small quantity of
antifoam liquid into the recovery tank.
Remember that more foam is generated when the floor is not very dirty. Use less
detergent if this is the case.
