Washing, brushing cycle: - Press the button (46) “ ” to prepare brushes rotation and press the button (49) “ ” to prepare water supply. - The brush rotation and the water ow start when the accelerator pedal is pressed with the forward or backward gear, or with the setting of the advance speed at least on the 1st notch.

Be extremely careful when using the machine on ramps in order to avoid roll over or situations which may cause the machine to lose its bal- ance.

Avoid sudden sharp turns. Turn the wheel from lock to lock only at low speed, always considering ground conditions. - Turn the key (29) to “ON”; in the rst 2 second after turning on, the display (41) indicates the type of batteries installed and the machine work time. - Select the type of work cycle to be fol- lowed. - Insert the desired work speed acting on buttons (30). - Activate the ashing light (10, optional) and the work light (9, optional). - Use the accelerator (7) to begin the clean- ing operations. NOTE: Release the accelerator to stop the rotation of the brushes and the dispensing of water. NOTE: Proper floor cleaning and drying is performed by driving the machine forwards. When driv- ing in reverse, the squeegee is raised and the suction unit, for removing the water from the floor, is deactivated. - Adjust the washing solution quantity with the button (49) “ ” if its necessary. - Check the charge status of the batteries on the display (41). 49029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 1349029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 13 06/04/2023 15:02:3806/04/2023 15:02:38www.ghibliwirbel.com Professional Cleaning Machines Since 1968 ENGLISH - 14

In order to clean the squeegee correctly (20), it is necessary to remove it as follows: - Disconnect the hose (16 Fig. C) from the squeegee (20). - Loosen the knobs (36 Fig. C) and remove the squeegee (20). - Wash the squeegee and in particular the rubber blades (60) and the inside of the aspiration connector (56). NOTE: SIf, during washing, it is clear that the rubber blades (60) and (61) are damaged or worn, it is necessary to replace them or turn them over. - Replace all the components in reverse order.

13.3.a - Check the wear status of the

steering chain (Fig. L) - Check the wear and corrosion status of the chain (63) found beneath the machine near the front wheel. - If the chain appears corroded, it must be replaced. - Contact the technical assistance service.

The brushes must be replaced whenever they appear worn or whenever their bristles are shorter than 2 cm. They must also be replaced based on the type of ooring to be cleaned; in order to replace them, perform the following operations: - Insert a hand beneath the brush support unit (19). In order to detach the brush, turn it quickly and forcefully in the opposite di- rection from that in which it rotates during normal function. - Place the new brushes beneath the brush support unit (19). - Get into the driver’s seat and turn the key (29 Fig. F) to its “ON” position. - Position the advance speed on value “0”. - Press the button (46 Fig. F) “ ” to en- able the brush rotation; the brush group descends. - Pressing the accelerator pedal (7 Fig. A), the brushes hub starts to rotate gripping the brushes, then release the pedal. - Press the button (46 Fig. F) again “ ” and turn the key (29 Fig. F) to the position “OFF”. 49029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 1549029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 15 06/04/2023 15:02:3806/04/2023 15:02:38www.ghibliwirbel.com Professional Cleaning Machines Since 1968 ENGLISH - 16

13.4.b - Splash guard rubber adjust-

ment (Fig. M) Depending on the type of oor to be treat- ed or after replacing the brushes, it may be necessary to adjust the height of the splash guard rubber (64). To adjust it, act as follows: - Turn the key (29 Fig. F) to the “ON” posi- tion. - Press the button (46 Fig. F) “ ”, to low- er the brush head (19), then turn the key (29 Fig. F) to “OFF”. - Check the correct height of the splash guard rubber as shown in the gure. - If necessary, manually act on the splash guard rubber to restore the correct height. NOTE: The correct height of the splash guard rub- ber is when, during operation and the brush head is lowered, the rubber itself is ush with the oor. - At the end of the adjustment, restart the machine and press the button (46 Fig. F) “ ”, then turn the key (29 Fig. F) to “OFF”.

13.4.c - Replacing the squeegee rub-

ber blades (Fig. K) 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 (20): - Remove the squeegee unit (20) as in- dicated in the “Cleaning the squeegee” paragraph. - Press the locking device (65) and open the handle (66). - Remove the two rubber mounting strips (67) and remove the outer rubber (60). - Loosen the two turnbuckles (68) and re- move the locking bar (69) and the inside rubber (61). NOTE: When the rubber blades (60) or (61) are worn on one side, on one occasion they may be turned over. - Replace or turn over the rubber blades (60) or (61) 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 poly- urethane rubber for workshop floors with oily residues.

13.4.d - Squeegee incidence adjust-

ment (Fig. N) - Start the machine and press the button (44 Fig. F) “ ”. - Adjust the speed to maximum on the 1^ notch with the buttons (30 Fig. F), press the accelerator pedal (7 Fig. A) and step away a few metres, then turn the machine o󰀨 and on again. - Use the threaded bar (70) to adjust the squeegee blades (60) and (61) contact with the oor. Turn it clockwise for in- creased contact and counter clockwise for less contact. NOTE: When the squeegee is making proper con- tact with the oor, there will be no streaking on the oor during machine function and the entire length of the squeegee will be in con- tact with the oor. 49029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 1649029600_Manuale RACER_RANGER_8ed_04-2023.indd 16 06/04/2023 15:02:3906/04/2023 15:02:39www.ghibliwirbel.com Professional Cleaning Machines Since 1968 ENGLISH - 17

13.4.e - Squeegee pressure adjust-

ment (Fig. O) Depending on the type of oor to be treated or after replacing the squee- gee rubbers, it may be necessary to adjust the squeegee oor pressure. To adjust it, act as follows: - Lift the recovery water tank (11) making sure it is empty. - Act on the adjustment screw (71) taking into account that:

• Turning clockwise decreases the squeegee oor pressure.

• Turning counterclockwise increases the squeegee oor pressure. - At the end of the adjustment, carefully lower the recovery water tank (11).

13.4.f - Cleaning the clean water

lter (Fig. P) - Make sure that the tank (13 Fig A) is emp- ty. - Remove the cap (22) and take out the l- ter cartridge (72). - Clean the lter cartridge (72) using run- ning water. - Reassemble everything proceeding in re- verse making sure that the gasket (73) is placed correctly.

13.4.g - Battery compartment drain

tap (Fig. A) - Periodically check that there are no stag- nations of water in the battery compart- ment. - If necessary, position the machine near a drain, unhook the tube and open the tap (74), then drain the liquids.

Where the use of lead-acid batteries is foreseen, pay close attention to any leakage of liquid from the batter- ies themselves, the associated risks and the regulations for the disposal of liquids hazardous substances.

13.4.h - Checking the wear status of

the three wheels (Fig. A) - Check the wear status of the three wheels (8) and (23) periodically; if they appear worn or damaged, contact a technical service centre in order to have them re- placed.

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