For battery maintenance and charging, follow the instructions

provided by the battery supplier.

InstallationInstructions:

1. Lift the recovery tank forward.

2. Detach the squeegee hose (1) from the recovery tank.

3. Take off the vacuum plug (2) by rotating it counterclockwise.

4. Remove the drain hose from its’ hook and take the recovery tank off.

MACHINE PREPARATION

5. Place the batteries in their compartment.

6. Connect the batteries’ connector (2) to the machine’s connector (1).

7. Reassemble the recovery tank, vacuum plug and squeegee hose.

3. CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

The battery chargers’ connector fits into the battery connector (2) located under the

recovery tank.

4.CHARGINGTHEBATTERIES

Make sure the battery charger is for use with the installed battery, both capacity and

type(lead/acidorGEL). WARNING! NEVERCHARGEAGELBATTERYWITH

ANINCORRECTBATTERYCHARGER.

NEVERALLOWTHEBATTERIESTORUNCOMPLETELYDOWN,rechargethem

withina few minutes after the battery indicator starts blinking.Never leave thebatteries

completelydischarged, even if the machine is not being used.

When charging the batteries, keep the recovery tank lifted with the prop as shown in

the figure.

Turn the key to the OFF position. Connect the DC connector on the charger to the

DC battery connector. Connect the AC charger plug to a receptacle that has the

correct voltage and frequency for your charger. Make sure the receptacle is

connected to the electrical ground.

WARNING! When charging the batteries, follow all the instructions

provided with this manual and the battery charger. Trained staff must carry

out the installation and maintenance operations.

WARNING!FireDanger:Lead acid batteries generate gases that can cause

anexplosion. Keepsparks and flames away from batteries. NOSMOKING!

WARNING! To prevent an explosion, charge the batteries only in an area

with good ventilation.

WARNING! Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when

working near batteries.

MACHINE PREPARATION

5. CONNECTING THE BATTERY CONNECTOR

After charging the batteries, reconnect the battery connector (2) to the connector of

the machine (1).

6.BATTERYCHARGELEVELINDICATOR

The batteries’ indicator is digital with 4 fixed positions and a blinking one. The

numbers, which appear on the display, show the approximate charge level.

4= maximum charge, 3= charge 3/4, 2= charge 2/4, 1= charge 1/4,

0= (blinking) discharged batteries)

7. SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY

The squeegee is assembled as shown in the figure. The squeegee lever should be in

its up position. Insert the holding pin into the squeegee stud bolt to secure the

squeegee in place. Then fit the squeegee hose into its coupling; the hose should be

located to the right of the lifting cable.

8.ADJUSTINGTHESQUEEGEEHEIGHT

The height from the floor to the squeegee should be adjusted based on the blade’s wear.

Rotate the wing nuts (1) counter-clockwise to lift the squeegee and clockwise to lower

it.

Note: Adjust the right and left wing nuts the same amount; the squeegee should be

positioned parallel to the floor.

NOTE: The brush motor automatically switches off a few seconds after the battery

indicator light begins to blink. By restarting the machine, you will be allowed to turn

on the vacuum motor and finish drying any wet areas.

5mm

MACHINE PREPARATION

9. ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE INCLINATION

During operation, the rear squeegee blade is most efficient when tilted back about

3/16 inch (5mm) along its whole length. To increase the blade bending in the central

part, tilt the squeegee body backward by turning the adjuster counter-clockwise.

Subsequently, turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the bending at the sides of the

squeegee blade.

10. INSTALLINGTHESPLASHGUARD

The splash guard should be installed as shown in the picture.

11. BRUSHINSTALLATION

1. Lift the brush base with the foot pedal.

2. Place the brushes under the base. Line up the lugs with the holes in the brush plate.

Insert the brushes into the plate and turn each brush so the lugs are pushed toward

their retaining springs, until locked in place.

The picture shows the direction of rotation for the right brush. The left brush is

rotated in the opposite direction.

MACHINE PREPARATION

12.RECOVERYTANK

Open the lid and confirm the following connections are secure:

1. The vacuum plug (2) is securely attached, turn clockwise to tighten.

2. The vacuum hose (1) is attached.

3. The plug on the drain hose (on the back of the machine) is inserted.

13. SOLUTIONWATER

Fill the solution tank with clean water at a temperature not more than 50°C/122°F. Add

the proper concentration of liquid detergent by following the manufacturer instructions.

Excess foam in the recovery tank can damage the vacuum motor, so use only the mini-

mum amount of detergent necessary. Reassemble the cover.

WARNING!: Always use low foaming detergent. Adding antifoam liquid into

the recovery tank before cleaning will also help prevent foaming. NEVER USE

PUREACID.

3. Invert the positions of the right and left brushes daily. However, if the brushes are

not new and have deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position.

Because the different inclination of the bristles may cause an overload to the brush

motor and excessive vibrations.
