MACHINE START AND STOP

Start
1. Prepare the machine as shown in the previous
paragraph.
2. Turn the ignition key (12, Fig. B) to "I" without pressing
the forward gear pedal (3, Fig. C). Check if the green
warning light (7a, Fig. B) turns on.
If the yellow or red warning light (7b o 7c, Fig. B) turns
on, turn the key back to "0", then charge the batteries
(see the procedure in Maintenance chapter).
3. Drive the machine to the working area, by keeping the
hands on the steering wheel and pressing the pedal (3,
Fig. C) on the front side to move forward and on the rear
side to move backward.
The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum
speed according to the pressure on the pedal (3, Fig. C).
NOTE
The seat (25, Fig. C) is equipped with a safety
sensor, which allows the machine to be moved
with the pedal (3, Fig. C) only when the
operator is on the driver's seat.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with an anti-tilting
safety system that reduces the speed when
turning, irrespectively of the pressure on the
gear pedal.
The reduction of speed when turning is not a
malfunction but a characteristic that improves
the machine stability in every condition.
4. Lower the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by
pressing the switch (6, Fig. B).
5. Press the solution flow control switches (10, Fig. B)
according to the type of cleaning to be carried out.
6. Start scrubbing, by turning the steering wheel (2, Fig. C)
and moving the machine forward by pressing the pedal
(3).
7. If necessary, adjust the working speed using the
maximum speed adjuster (11, Fig. B). The adjuster is
enabled only when the machine is operating (scrubbing
and/or drying).
Stopping the machine
8. Release the pedal (3, Fig. C).
9. It is not necessary to lock the machine during stopping
or parking, because the electromagnetic brake (27, Fig.
C) activates automatically when the forward gear pedal
is not pressed.
10. Lift the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by
pressing the switch (6, Fig. B).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

MACHINE OPERATION

1. Start the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. If necessary, adjust the solution flow sent to the brushes
by pressing the switches (10, Fig. B).

Squeegee adjustment

3. If necessary, stop the machine and adjust the balancing
handwheel (16, Fig. C) of the squeegee (12).
CAUTION!
To avoid any damage to the floor surface, turn
off the brush/pad-holder when the machine
stops in one place, especially when the extra
pressure function is on.
Working with brush/pad-holder extra pressure
function turned on
NOTE
When the cylindrical brush deck is installed,
the extra pressure function is disabled.
4. If the floor proves to be particularly difficult to clean, it is
possible to turn on the brush/pad-holder extra pressure
function by pressing the switch (5, Fig. B).
5. To return to normal pressure, press the switch (5, Fig. B)
again.
The switch (5, Fig. B) is enabled only when the deck (4,
Fig. C) is lowered and the switch warning light (4, Fig. B)
is on.
CAUTION!
In case of brush/pad-holder motor overload,
due to foreign material which prevent the
brushes/pad-holders from rotating, or to
excessively aggressive floors/brushes, the
safety system stops the brushes/pad-holders
after about one minute of continuous overload.
The overload condition is shown by the three
warning lights (7a, 7b, 7c, Fig. B) flashing
simultaneously.
If the overload takes place when the extra
pressure function is on, the system
automatically reduces the pressure on the
brushes/pad-holders, thus turning the extra
pressure function off. If the overload persists,
the brushes/pad-holders stop.
To start scrubbing again after a
brush/pad-holder stop due to overload, stop
the machine by turning the ignition key (12,
Fig. B) to "0". Restart the machine by turning
the ignition key to "I".
