When the cylindrical brush deck is installed, the extra pressure function is disabled.
- 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).
- 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".
Battery discharge during operation
-
Until the green warning light (7a, Fig. B) stays on, the batteries allow the machine to work normally. When the green warning light (7a) turns off and first the yellow warning light (7b) and then the red warning light (7c) turn on, it is necessary to charge the batteries.
-
When the yellow warning light (7b) turns on, the machine residual autonomy will last for a few minutes (depending on battery type).
- When the red warning light (7c) turns on the machine autonomy is over: after a few seconds the brushes/pad-holders are automatically stopped and the deck is automatically lifted. Only the machine vacuum and drive systems still operate, just to dry the wet floor and move the machine to the charging area.

CAUTION!
Do not use the machine with discharged batteries, to avoid damaging the batteries and reducing the battery life.
