6. Maintenance
WARNING -
Before undertaking maintenance operations
or adjustments switch off machine and unplug from the
electricity supply. In addition safely disconnect the non
earthed pole of the battery (or by equivalent method).
IMPORTANT –
All other servicing and repairs should only
be performed by a Truvox engineer or Authorised Service
Agent.
IMPORTANT –
Should the machine fail to operate
please refer to the fault diagnosis section in the back of
this instruction manual. If the problem / remedy is not
listed please contact Truvox Customer Service
Department for rapid attention.
The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from
the following checks by the operator prior to use:
•
DO NOT
rest tools and metal objects on the batteries;
danger of short circuits.
•
DO NOT
use aggressive detergents, acid, lye etc. during
cleaning and washing and take particular care with
electrical parts.
•
Charging cord and plug - Regularly inspect sheath, plug
and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection.
•
Recovery tank – Check condition and clean tank
•
Squeegee blades – Check condition and replace worn or
damaged blades.
6.1 Cleaning the squeegee blades
In order to clean the squeegee correctly, it is necessary to
remove it as follows (Fig.13):
Fig. 13
•
Pull the squeegee unit outwards (1).
•
Disconnect the hose (2) from the squeegee (1).
•
Loosen the knobs (3) and remove the squeegee (1).
Fig. 14
•
Wash the squeegee and in particular the rubber blades
(4) and the inside of the vacuum hose connector (5)
(Fig. 14).
•
If, during washing, it is clear that the rubber blades are
damaged or worn, it is necessary to replace them or turn
them over.
6.2 Replacing the squeegee rubber blades
When it becomes clear that drying the floor is difficult or
traces of water remain on the floor, it is necessary to
check the wear on the squeegee rubber blades (3 in Fig.
15):
•
Remove the squeegee unit (1 in Fig. 15)
•
Loosen the thumb screws (2 in Fig. 15) and remove the
rubber blades (3 in Fig. 15).
Fig. 15
•
Replace or turn over the rubber blades (3 in Fig. 10)
without inverting them.
•
Replace all the components in reverse order.
NOTE -
There are two squeegee blade types available.
6.3 Squeegee set up
•
Lower the squeegee using the specific lever (3).
•
Start the vacuum motor and advance for some metres
before stopping the vacuum motor and the machine.
•
Check for the correct squeegee blade positioning (1 in
Fig. 16) on the floor.
•
Fig. A = too squatted
•
Fig. B = too high
•
Fig. C = correct position.
•
Take off the squeegee from the machine.
•
To set up, loosen the screw (2 in Fig. 16) of the wheel (3
in Fig.16) and move the wheel vertically in the slot; by
lifting the wheel, the angle of incidence increases, vice
versa it decreases.
