Detergents - Instructions
Always dilute the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use sodium hypochlorite
(bleach) or other oxidants, particularly in strong concentrations. Do not use solvents or hydrocarbons. The
temperature of the water and detergent must not exceed the maximum indicated in the technical specification.
The machine has been designed for use with low-foam biodegradable detergents made specifically for scrubber driers.
For a complete and up-to-date list of the detergents and chemical products available, contact one of the manufacturer's
trained and authorised dealers.
Use products suitable for the floor and dirt to be removed only.
Follow the safety precautions concerning the use of detergents given in the section "IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS".
Preparing the machine for work
Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip waterproof shoes, mask to protect the respiratory
tract, gloves and all other personal protection devices recommended by the supplier of the detergent used or
Proceed as follows before starting work.
► check the battery charge (charge if necessary) (fig. C, rif. 2)
► make sure the dirty water tank (fig. A, ref. 2) is empty. If necessary, empty it;
► via the opening at the front, fill the detergent tank (fig. A, ref. 8) with a suitable concentration of clean water and
low-foam detergent. Leave at least 5 cm between the surface of the liquid and the opening of the tank;
► mount the most suitable brushes or drive disks for the floor and work to be performed;
► make sure that the squeegee is securely fastened and connected to the suction hose; check that the front and
rear blades are not worn.
► adjust the working height of the squeegees.
If you are using the machine for the first time, we recommend trying it out on a large obstacle-free surface first
Always empty the dirty water tank before filling the detergent tank again.
For effective cleaning and to extend the working life of the machine, follow a few simple rules:
► prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles;
► begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just cleaned;
► choose the straightest possible working routes;
► divide large floors into parallel rectangular sections.
If necessary, finish off by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the scrubber drier.
Working
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows:
Connect the machine as follows:
► lower the squeegee by means of the squeegee lever (fig. D, ref. 2);
► press the main switch (fig. C, ref. 3) "LED on";
► press the brush button (fig. C, ref. 4) "LED on", this will also automatically activate suction and solution flow. To
extend machine operating time, the ECO function can be activated (see the paragraph "Controls - Descriptions");
► press the brush lever (fig. D, ref. 1).
► check regularly that detergent is reaching the brushes and top up if necessary;
► while working, check the quality of washing and adjust the flow of detergent to the brushes using the detergent
