N.B.: The battery must be connected by special- ised personnel.

Charge the batteries in rooms which are well-ventilated and comply with applica- ble regulations in the country of use. For safety-related information, follow what is described in chapter 1 of this manual.

For information and warnings about the battery and on board battery charger (if present) follow what is described in the battery charger manual enclosed with this document.

When the machine leaves the factory, it is calibrated to operate with gel batteries. If other types of batteries are installed, see the paragraph “Parameter setting”. The use of gel batteries with calibration for acid or other batteries is prohibited. NOTE: 10 hours are needed for complete battery charging. Avoid partial recharges.

5.1.a - Charging the battery using the

on board battery charger (if present) (Fig. 7) - Move the machine close to a mains elec- tricity socket.

It is important to first connect the cable (41) to the socket (42) and then connect the cable (41) to the power socket. - Take the cable (41) from its seat and con- nect it to the socket (42) on the machine, then connect the other end to the mains power socket. - Check that the green LED (43) flashes 2 times and then goes from the color “Green” to continuously lit “Red”.

Make sure that the mains electrical volt- age is compatible with the battery charg- er’s operating voltage (230 Vac for the Eu- ropean market; 115 Vac for the American market; 50/60 Hz). - Leave the batteries to charge until the “Green” LED (43) lights up, then remove the power cable (41) and put it away.

- After starting the machine and chosing the type of cycle, start cleaning, by push- ing the machine using the handle (1 Fig.

1) and acting on the sensor (20, Fig. 1).

NOTE: Pay attention to particularly delicate floors; do not use the machine while it’s stopped and the brush rotation on. For particularly dirty spots, adjust the traction speed to “0” so the brush will rotate in the same position, without straining the traction motor. NOTE: The proper cleaning and drying of the oor is done by pushing the machine forwards; if you go backwards the machine will not perform drying; in this phase, always lift the wiper to avoid damaging the blades. - If necessary, adjust the quantity of wash- ing water using the tap (4 Fig. 1). - Check the battery charge via the dis- charge indicator (48 Fig. 9).

8.1.d - End of use and switching off

(Fig. 9-13) - At the end of the cleaning, before turn- ing off the machine, stop the water supply and the rotation of the brush, using the switch (47 Fig. 9). - Lift up the brush by pressing the pedal (19Fig.13)asfarasitwillgo,ttingitin the designated slot. - Continue with the aspiratr inserted to suck all the liquid present on the floor, then turn off the vacuum off cleaner by pressing the switch (46 Fig. 9). - Lift the squeegee (11 Fig. 13) by lifting the lever (3 Fig. 13).

Always lift the wiper and the end piece after finishing the cleaning operations be- cause this avoids the deformation of the rubber blades and of the brush hairs. - Press the switch (45 Fig. 9) to turn off the machine.

If the machine will not be used for a few days, it is recommended to disconnect the plug (35 Fig. 7-8) from the relative socket.

8.1.e - Maximum recovery tank water

level alarm (Fig. 14) If during use of the machine, the vacuum cle- aner is switched off, it means that the level of liquid in the recovery tank has reached the maximum level. Go to the water drainage station and drain the recovery tank as shown in the relative paragraph. NOTE: For the proper operation of the level sensors it is required to properly clean the inside of the tank (14 Fig. 14).

Height adjustment - Lower the wiper, using the lever. - Loosen the screw (55) and lift or lower the wheel (55a) until the wiper is in the desired position, then tighten the screw (55). If you wish to restore the original position (from factory) of the wheel, proceed as fol- lows: - Loosen the screw of the wheel, so that it can slide freely in the slot. - With the wiper lowered, adjust the in- cidence of 0 degrees, so that the flaps are perpendicular to the floor and not crushed. - Place a thickness of about 3mm (eg. Two coins from 10 cents) under the wheel and tighten the locking screw strong. Incidence adjustment - Lower the wiper, using the lever. - Start the aspirator and proceed for a few metres, then turn off the aspirator and stop the machine. - Check the incidence of the rubber (60) blades. Fig. A = too low Fig. B = too high Fig. C = correct position - Use the grey knob (64) for adjustment, turning it anticlockwise to increase the incidence and in the other direction to de- crease it.
