BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETTING OF THE BATTERY TYPE

This machine is equipped with two batteries at 12V in serial connection, placed in its appropriate compartment under the recovery tank and must be handled using suitable lifting equipment (due to weight and coupling system). The batteries must be in accordance with CEI 21-5 Norms. The connection of the batteries' cables has to be carried out by specialized staff, because the inversion of polarity causes the damage of the electrical components. Before the machine is supplied with power, check that the red cable is connected to the + pole of the battery.

Strictly follow manufacturer/distributor indications for the maintenance and daily recharge of the batteries. All installation and maintenance operations must be executed by specialized staff, using suitable protection accessories.

BATTERY RECHARGER

Be sure that the battery recharger is suitable for the installed batteries both for their capacities and type (lead/acid or GEL and equivalent).

In the plastic bag containing the use and maintenance you will find the coupling connector for the recharger. It must be assembled onto the cables of your recharger, following the instructions given by the manufacturer.

BATTERIES RECHARGING

Bring the machine on a levelled surface. Plug in batteries connector (1) placed in the rear part of the machine, to connector (2) of the battery recharger.

Page 8

SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY

With the squeegee support lowered, slide the two stud bolts (1) placed on the upper part of the squeegee inside the slots on the support. Block the squeegee by rotating the lever (2) clockwise. Insert the squeegee hose (3) into its coupling, respecting its position as indicated in the figure.

Never charge a GEL battery with a non suitable recharger. Strictly follow the instructions supplied by the batteries and recharger manufacturer.

In order not to cause permanent damages to the batteries, it is necessary to avoid their complete discharge, providing for the recharging within a few minutes after batteries discharge signal starts blinking.

Never leave batteries completely discharged even if the machine is not used. In case of traditional batteries, please check the electrolyte level every 20 recharging cycles and eventually fill them up with distilled water after having carried out a complete recharge.

Danger of gas exhalations and emission of corrosive liquids. Fire danger: do not approach with free flames.

BATTERIES DISPOSAL

It is compulsory to hand over exhaust batteries, classified as dangerous waste, to an authorized institution according to the current laws.

BATTERIES CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR

Activating the push button of the brush (2) the signal lamp of the battery charge level (1) will come on. When the signal lamp is in green colour it means that the battery charge level is sufficient for the functioning of the machine. If the signal lamp is in red colour it means that the battery charge level is insufficient for the functioning of the machine and it is necessary to recharge immediately the batteries (see under "BATTERIES RECHARGING”).

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SQUEEGEE HEIGHT

The squeegee must be adjusted in height depending on the rubber wear. In order to guarantee a perfect drying during the operation, the lower blade of the rear squeegee rubber (4) must work slightly bent backwards (operator side) in uniformed way in all its length. Acting clockwise upon the two registers (5) it is possible to increase the bending of the rubber. Acting counterclockwise it is possible to decrease the rubber bending. A label placed near the two registers (5) indicates rotation sense to increase or reduce the height. Note: The wheels of the squeegee support must be adjusted through the registers (5) at the same height so that the squeegee works parallel to the floor.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SQUEEGEE INCLINATION

In case of need, to increase the rubber bending in the central part, it is necessary to tilt the squeegee rotating counterclockwise the register (6). To increase the rubber bending on the squeegee extremities, rotate the register clockwise.

RECOMMENDED BRUSHES

Brushes must be chosen depending on type of floor and dirt to be removed. The employed material and the bristles diameter are the elements that distinguish different types of brushes.

MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

PPL (Polypropylene) Good wear resistance. Maintains characteristics with hot water up to 50°C. It is not hygroscopic.

NYLON Excellent wear resistance, even with hot water. It is hygroscopic.

TYNEX

BRISTLES THICKNESS

Nylon bristles with grains of abrasive material. Use with caution in order not to mark the floor or ruin the polishing.

Thicker bristles are more rigid and must be used on smooth floor or floor with small joints. On irregular floors with deep joints or relieves, it is recommended to use softer bristles which penetrate more easily and deeper. Please be aware that when brush bristles are worn out and therefore too small, they become rigid and unable to penetrate and clean deeper. This may also happen with thicker bristles creating brush vibration.

PAD HOLDER

It is equipped with anchor points which permit the blocking of the abrasive pad during work. The pad is recommended to clean smooth floors.
