Overview

The FoamTec 1800 is a restroom care machine that sprays foaming chemical onto surfaces
that need cleaning. Next, the foam and the dirt are removed by rinsing the surfaces with
clean water. Then, with the same machine, you can also vacuum the liquid from hard floors.
The FoamTec has been designed for cleaning and sanitizing fixtures and other surfaces in
restrooms and shower areas in the education sector and in areas open to public, such as
train stations, airports, rest areas, swimming pools, fitness centres, saunas, hospitals, hotels
and so on. The FoamTec can be used in any other place where the foam + rinse + vacuum
system is convenient.

Safety instructions (read carefully)

Every electrical device must be used only for its particular function, respecting the
manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious bodily
injury to the operator (electric shock, electrocution, etc.). Today, machines are produced
according to accident prevention regulations and qualified safety institutes approve them.
However, irresponsible use may put people in serious danger. Carefully read the following
points and be sure to understand everything before using the mac hine.

• Before connecting the machine’s plug to the electrical socket, check that the voltage available
is the same as indicated on the label of the machines.

• Be sure that the electrical system is grounded and that it is supplied with a ground fault
interrupter. (GFI)

• Verify that the electrical plug complies with the wall outlet.

• Do not use adapters or multiple sockets without knowing the electrical input of each device

connected to the socket.

• If any electrical extension is used, check that it corresponds to the absorbed power of the
machine. It must be sealed against water.

• Take care of the cable. It is essential that it is protected from water, tearing and chemical
agents. Do not repair the cable if it is damaged replace it with a new one.

• Do not pull the cable to move the machine or to extract the plug from the socket. Pull out the
socket only when the machine is switched off.

• Do not handle the electrical plug with wet hands.
