While the machine is in function, the following alarms may occur, with relative messages appearing on the display:

Solution tank empty:

• Indicates that the mixture of detergent and water in the tank has run out. The brushes will stop and will be raised, the suction unit will continue to function for a few seconds before stopping and the squeezegee will be raised.
• In order to eliminate the alarm, fill the tank and then press the "SETUP/ENTER" button.

Recovery tank almost full:

• Indicates that the level of the liquid present in the recovery tank has reached the alarm threshold; it is possible to continue working, but it is recommended to bring the machine to the water drainage station as soon as possible in order to drain the recovery tank as indicated in the relative section.

Recovery tank full:

• Indicates that the liquid in the recovery tank has reached its maximum level (safety sensor); the suction unit will automatically shut off and the squeezegee will be raised.
• Bring the machine to the water drainage station and drain the recovery tank as indicated in the relative section.

Battery charge low

• Indicates that the charge level of the batteries is running out and that work must therefore be concluded in order to bring the machine to the battery charging station as soon as possible.

The operating functions remain active.

Battery drained

• Indicates that the batteries are completely drained; all of the operating functions will be deactivated, leaving only the drive function enabled.
  Bring the machine immediately to the battery charging station.

NOTE:

If the machine continues to move while the alarm is active, before the batteries run out definitively another safety alarm will be activated which blocks all of the machine's functions.

9.1.e - End of use and shutdown (Fig. 22)

• Once all of the cleaning operations have been completed, shut off, in sequence, the rotation of the brushes and the suction unit, using the relative controls according to the type of cycle being employed. Otherwise, if performing an automatic cycle, press the "ALL IN ONE" button.
• Turn the key (1) to its "OFF" position.
• Engage the parking brake as indicated in the "left side handlebar controls" section.
• Empty and wash out the recovery tank and the solution tank as indicated in the relative sections.

10.1 - DRAINING THE RECOVERY WATER (Fig. 23)

At the end of the washing cycle or when the recovery water tank (1) is full, it is necessary to empty the tank by proceeding as follows:

NOTE:

To dispose of the recovery water, comply with the standards in force in the country in which the machine is used.

• Position the machine near to a drain outlet.
• Disconnect the tube (2) from the tank (1).
• Remove the cap (3) from the hose (2) and drain all the water contained in the tank.

11.1 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

WARNING:

For information and warnings regarding maintenance or cleaning, follow the information given in the "General warnings during maintenance" in chapter 1 in this manual.

OPERATIONS TO PERFORM DAILY

11.1.a - Emptying and cleaning the clean water tank (Fig. 24)

WARNING:

Once all of the cleaning operations have been completed, it is necessary to rinse the clean water tank out in order to prevent deposits or encrustations.

After draining the recovery water tank, drain the clean water tank as follows:

• Position the machine over a drain outlet.
• Remove the water intake tube (1) from the tank.
• Insert the upper part of the tube (1) into the drain connector (2) beneath the tank (3).
• Open the tap (4) and let the water contained in the tank drain out completely.
• Leave the drainage tap open and wash out the inside of the tank, pouring in clean water from the upper opening.
• Once the cleaning operation has been completed, close the tap (4) and reconnect the tube (2) to its proper lodging.

11.1.b - Cleaning the recovery water tank (Fig. 25)

WARNING:

At the end of the washing operations, it is compulsory to clean the recovery water tank to prevent deposits or scaling and the proliferation of bacteria, odours or mould.

• Drain the recovery water as shown in the relative paragraph, positioning the machine over a drain outlet.
• Remove the cover (1).
• Leaving the hose (2) lowered and the cap off, add water through the upper opening (3), cleaning the inside of the tank until clean water comes out of the drain hose.
• Clean the level sensors (4) with a damp cloth, taking care not to damage them.
• Reassemble all of the parts by performing these operations in the opposite order.
• Unscrew the Allen screw (5) and remove the filter cover (6).
• Remove and clean the suction filter (7), removing any pieces of paper, wood, etc., which may be obstructing it.

11.1.c - Cleaning the wiper (Fig. 26)

In order to clean the squeegee correctly (1), it is necessary to remove it as follows:

• Disconnect the hose (1) from the squeegee (2).
• Loosen the knobs (3) and remove the squeezegee (2).
• Wash the squeezegee and in particular the rubber blades (4) and the inside of the aspiration connector (5).

NOTE:

If, during washing, it is clear that the rubber blades (4) are damaged or worn, it is necessary to replace them or turn them over.

• Replace all the components in reverse order.

OPERATIONS TO PERFORM WEEKLY

11.1.d - Cleaning the clean water filter (Fig. 27)

• Close the tap (1).
• Unscrew the transparent filter cover (2) and remove the filter (3).
• Clean the filter (3) in running water. If it is blocked, replace it.
• Reassemble everything, performing the operations in the opposite order, and open the tap (1).

OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED EVERY 3 MONTHS

11.1.e - Check the wear status of the steering chain (Fig. 28)

• Check the wear and corrosion status of the chain (1) found beneath the machine near the front wheel.

If the chain appears corroded, it must be replaced.

Contact the technical assistance service.

OPERATIONS TO PERFORM WHEN NECESSARY

11.1.f - Replacing the brushes (Fig. 29)

The brushes must be replaced whenever they appear worn or whenever their bristles are shorter than 2cm . They must also be replaced based on the type of flooring to be cleaned; in order to replace them, perform the following operations:

• Insert a hand beneath the brush support unit (1). In order to detach the brush, turn it quickly and forcefully in the opposite direction from that in which it rotates during normal function.
• Place the new brushes beneath the brush support unit (1).
• Get into the driver's seat and turn the key (2) to its "ON" position.
• Engage a movement direction.

• Press the button to enable brush rotation; the brush unit will be lowered.
• Turn the accelerator handle (3) slightly. The brush support flanges will begin to turn, thereby connecting with the brushes.

Release the handle (3).

• Press the button again and turn the key (2) to its "OFF" position.

Fig. 28

11.1.g - Replacing the squeezegee rubber blades (Fig. 30)

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 (1):

• Remove the squeegee unit (1) as indicated in the "Cleaning the squeegee" paragraph.
• Loosen the finned nuts (2) and remove the rubber blades (3).

NOTE:

When the rubber blades (3) are worn on one side, on one occasion they may be turned over.

• Replace or turn over the rubber blades (3) without inverting them.
• Replace all the components in reverse order.

NOTE:

Two types of rubber are available: Para rubber for all types of flooring and polyurethane rubber for workshop floors with oily residues.

11.1.h - Adjusting the pressure of the squeezegee (Fig. 31)

• Start up the machine and press the button.
  The wiper unit will be lowered.
• Engage the machine's forward movement, move it a few metres, engage the parking brake and get off the machine.
• Use the threaded bar (1) to adjust the squeezeges' (2) contact with the floor. Turn it clockwise for increased contact and counter clockwise for less contact.

NOTE:

When the squeezegee is making proper contact with the floor, there will be no streaking on the floor during machine function and the entire length of the squeezegee will be in contact with the floor.

11.1.i - Checking the wear status of the three wheels (Fig. 32)

• Check the wear status of the three wheels (1) periodically; if they appear worn or damaged, contact a technical service centre in order to have them replaced.

DANGER:

Operating the machine with worn or damaged wheels poses a danger to the operator as the machine could have less traction when turning.
