PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE MOVING THE MACHINE WHEN PACKED The machine comes in special packaging which includes a platform for fork-lift transport. Do not place skids one on top of the other. The overall weight is 540Lbs. A Packing size is: A : 60" B : 29" C : 52.5" C B UNPACKING THE MACHINE Remove the box. The machine is fixed to the skid by wheel-blocks. Remove the wheel blocks. Push the machine backwards off of the skid using a ramp. Avoid hitting the brush head on the skid.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER The connectors are fitted on the battery compartment. Plug the connector of the battery charger cables into the socket on battery compartment. The battery connector is delivered inside the bag where you found this instruction booklet. BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR The battery level indicator is operated by a microprocessor.

PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE SQUEEGEE The squeegee is supplied already assembled on the machine and with the adjustments made during machine testing. When operating the machine, the rear rubber should be slightly tilted back 5mm all along its length. you can use the squeegee on all 4 edges before replacing it with a new one. To adjust the squeegee blade down, just tilt back the squeegee body by turning the knobs counter-clockwise. To adjust the squeegee blade up, turn the knobs clock-wise.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FITTING THE DISC BRUSH 1. With the brush head lifted, centre the brush under the brush deck 2. When lowering the brush head, the brush will lock automatically. DETERGENT SOLUTION Fill up the solution tank with fresh water at a temperature not exceeding 50°C and add the liquid detergent according to the concentrations and instructions that are provided by the manufacturer. NOTE: Always use low-foam detergents.

OPERATING Follow the operations as instructed under PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE 1. Plug in the battery connector 2. Sit on the seat 3. Turn the key switch on. 4. Drop the brush deck down and the vacuum motor will start automatically. 5. Open the tap by turning the knob counter clock-wise. Water only flows when the brush motor is on. 6. To lower the brush head, push the pedal left and up. Brush and suction start automatically. For higher pad pressure, lift the pedal further until it locks in place.
OPERATING OPERATING THE DRIVE LEVERS Each lever is directly connected to the corresponding traction wheel (right lever with right wheel and vice-versa). Operating in forward gear: 1. Press the forward switch on the instrument board 2. Push both levers forwards simultaneously 1 To turn right, move the left lever forwards and the right one backwards. To turn left, move the right lever forwards and the left one backwards To brake, pull back both levers simultaneously. Operating in reverse gear: 1.
To turn right, move the left lever forwards and the right one backwards. To turn left, move the right lever forwards and the left one backwards. These pedals are meant to lock the direction of the front wheels to ensure straight drive when operating in forward or reverse gear. NOTE: the machine is fitted with a deadman microswitch. The machine does not works if the operator is not seated properly.
OPERATING SUCTION The vacuum motor starts automatically as the squeegee is lowered. The motor does not switch off automatically when the squeegee is lifted to prevent any water leaking from the suction hose. Wait a few seconds and press the button (1) on the vacuum unit. 1 HORN The machine is fitted with a horn switch. To sound the horn, press the button as shown in the picture.
UPON COMPLETION OF WORK Upon completion of work and prior to any type of maintenance procedure, carry out the following operations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Close the water valve Lift the brush head Lift the squeegee Switch the suction motor off Take the machine where you intend to drain the water out Turn the key to “OFF” Take the hose off the hook, unscrew the drain plug and empty the recovery tank.
DAILY MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK Empty the tank through the drain hose. Turn the knob a few turns to unscrew it and remove the plug. CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE Clean the squeegee with a hose. Check for rubber blade wear conditions and, if necessary, turn or replace them. Accurate cleaning of the whole suction assembly ensures longer suction motor life.
DAILY MAINTENANCE REPLACING SQUEEGEE RUBBER BARS If the squeegee blades are worn out and do not dry properly, change the drying side as follows: Pull the squeegee assembly out as illustrated under “PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE” Unlock the clamp (1) between the two rear blades Pull out the blades (2/3) and the rubber bar (4) Flip the rubber blade or, if necessary, replace it Adjust squeegee height as illustrated under “HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE SQUEEGEE SUPPORT” at chapter “PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE” Reassembl
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE SUCTION HOSE 1. In case of poor suction, make sure the suction hose is not clogged. Clean it with a garden hose from where the hose is connected to the tank. CLEANING THE SUCTION MOTOR FILTER 1. Disconnect the main connector between the suction cover and the recovery tank 2. Remove the suction unit from the tank. 3. With a circular movement, remove the black cover (1). 4. Remove the filter (2) and clean it thoroughly with a garden hose. 5 .
