EcoFlex system
Press the EcoFlex push-button (47) when stronger washing power is needed temporarily.
With the EcoFlex system activated (LED flashing), increased solution flow, activation of the extra pressure of the brush and an increase in the solution detergent concentration (level 2 if the level was set to 1 - level 1 if the level was set to 0) is obtained. Press the EcoFlex push-button (47) again, to restore the original settings (LED on).

NOTE
If the EcoFlex push-button (47) is not pressed again, the original settings are restored automatically after 60 seconds.

NOTE
All of the above solution flow and detergent concentration values are factory settings.
To change these settings, see the Supervisor key section in the Maintenance chapter.
REV system (for REV version only)
Press the REV push-button (45) when a specific washing mode is required.
With the REV system activated the drive speed is decreased, the brush extra pressure is activated, the detergent is stopped and the washing water quantity is reduced.
Working with brush extra pressure function turned on
If the floor proves to be particularly difficult to clean, it is possible to turn on the brush extra pressure function, according to the following procedure:
- Press the One-Touch push-button (43) to lower the brush deck as shown in "Starting The Machine" paragraph.
- Press and hold the One-Touch push-button (43) for more than 1 second. The extra pressure function activation is shown by

on the display (51).
- To return to normal pressure, press and hold the One-Touch push-button (43) for more than 1 second.
- To lift the brush deck without returning to the normal pressure, press the One-Touch push-button (43) and release it immediately.

CAUTION!
In case of brush motor overload, due to foreign bodies which prevent them from turning, or to excessively aggressive floors/brushes, the safety system stops the brush after about one minute of continuous overload. If the overload takes place when the extra pressure function is on, the system automatically turns the extra pressure function off.
If the overload persists, the brush stops.
To start scrubbing again after a brush stop due to overload, turn off and then on the machine with the pushbutton (42).
Battery discharge during operation
When there is only one segment turned on and flashing on the battery symbol (51-C), it is advisable to charge the batteries, because the residual autonomy will last for a few minutes (depending on battery characteristics and work to be performed). When the battery symbol (51-C) is flashing and no segment is turned on, the battery autonomy is over. After a few seconds, the brush is automatically tuned off, while the vacuum system and the drive system stay on, to finish drying the floor and drive the machine to the appointed recharging area.

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