DANGER!
All maintenance work or the replacement of accessories must be carried out in areas with
adequate lighting and only after having disconnected the machine from the power supply by
unplugging the battery connector.

NOTE:

All work on the electrical system and all maintenance and repair work (especially work not specifically
described in this manual) should only be carried out at authorised service centres or by skilled
personnel with experience in the field and knowledge of the relevant safety regulations.

Carrying out regular maintenance on the machine, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions

ensures better performance and a longer machine service life.

6.1 TANKS

Drain the two tanks as described in the relative sections Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. and
Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata..

Remove any solid dirt by filling and draining the tanks until all dirt has been eliminated.
Do this using a hose or similar item and only wash the inside of the tank.

CAUTION
Water temperatures in excess of 50°, high-pressure washers or excessively powerful sprays
can damage the tanks and the machine.
Leave the plugs of the tanks open (only while the machine is not being used) so that the tanks
can dry and prevent the formation of unpleasant odours.

6.2 DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK FILTER

1) To clean the detergent solution filter, remove the
plug 1 and the filter element 2.

2) After cleaning, place the filter element 2 back into
its seat and screw the plug back on 1.

6.3 SUCTION HOSE

1) Disconnect the suction hose 1 from the squeegee

2.

2) The hose 1 can now be cleaned and any
obstructions removed.

3) After cleaning, insert the hose 1 firmly onto the
squeegee body 2.

6.4 SQUEEGEE

CAUTION
Do not handle the squeegee with bare hands: wear gloves and any other protective clothing
that may be necessary.

Remove the squeegee from the machine and clean it under running water using a sponge or brush.
Check the effectiveness and the wear of the rubber blades that are in contact with the floor.
They are designed to scrape the detergent-water film on the floor and to isolate that area of the surface to help the
vacuum motor reach the maximum vacuum pressure: this ensures that the machine will dry the floor completely.
Working like this continuously causes the sharp edge of the blade to become round or to wear, thereby reducing its
drying efficiency. The squeegee blades must therefore be replaced fairly often.
If necessary, turn the blades in order to use the other sharp edges or to install new ones (see section Errore.

L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.).

6.5 VACUUM FILTER

1) Release the fastening clips 1

2) Remove the tank 2

3) Remove the filter 3 from its seat and clean it under running water.

4) After cleaning, replace the filter 3 in its seat

5) Put the tank 2 back into the handle.

6.6 ACCESSORIES

Remove and clean the brush or pad driver (see section Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.).
Check that the brushes work evenly on the surface (check for any irregular wear on the brushes or abrasive disks).

CAUTION
To avoid damaging the floor and the machine, make sure that no foreign objects, such as
metallic parts, screws, chippings, string or similar items, have become caught in the brushes.

NOTE:

Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer:
Using products that are non-compliant may affect safety and damage the machine.

6.7 MACHINE BODY

Use a sponge or a damp cloth to clean the outside of the machine and if necessary, use soft brush to eliminate
stubborn dirt.
The machine’s impact resistant surface is rough to make it harder to see scratches produced during use. However,
this does not make it easy to remove stubborn stains from its surface.

CAUTION
Never use steam cleaners, hoses with running water or high-pressure washers.

6.8 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

NOTE:

For all the operations described here, refer to the detailed instructions and warnings given in the
relative sections.

The frequency with which the routine maintenance is carried out is determined by the number of complete machine
discharge cycles.
The machine has an autonomy of approximately 1 hour. Each cycle is considered to be 1 working hour.

6.9 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Even though the machine has been carefully built and conforms with the most stringent quality tests, the electrical
and mechanical components are inevitably subject to wear and ageing after long periods of use.
In order for the machine to provide safe and trouble-free service, it is recommended that your machine be thoroughly
inspected every year at a service centre authorised by the manufacturer (or by someone specialised in the field who
has the proper skills and who is familiar with all the relevant safety regulations contained in this manual).
This may need to be done more frequently if the machine is used in particularly harsh conditions and / or if it has not
been properly maintained.

6.10 RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS

To get the most out of your machine, it is recommended that you always keep a stock of the common consumables
and to schedule routine and extraordinary maintenance
Contact your dealer for a list of these spare parts.
