periodically in order to ensure safe operation. In particular the electrical supply cable should
be regularl y inspected by a competent pers on and immediate action tak e n to rectify any
faults found. Failure to carry out maintenance as necessary, including replacement of parts
to the correct standard, could render the equipment unsafe and the manufacturer can accept

Overview
The POWERTEC is a high-pre ssure restroom care machine that sprays a solution of wate r
and detergent onto surfaces that need cleaning. Next, the solution and the dirt are removed
by rinsing the surfaces with clean water. Then, with the same machine, it is also possible to
vacuum the residual liquid from hard floors.
The POWERTEC has been designed for cleaning and sanitizing fixtures and other surfaces
in restrooms and showers 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 POWERTEC can be used in any other place where the system spray + rinse
+ vacuum 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
injuries 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 machine.
• 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 plug with wet hands.
• Do not spray water near outlets. Do not use the machine to spray or to suck corrosive liquids
(acids or bases), explosive or inflammable liquids (gasoline, kerosene, solvents, etc.) or dust.
• Do not use the machine in an explosive environment.
• Do not allow the machine to be used by children and persons unable to understand the danger
connected with using electrical power.
Safety instructions (CONT’D)
• Do not bring the end of the suction hose or one of the accessories near yours or others’ face,
particularly near ears and eyes: the sucked air could seriously damage them.
• If the machine is used as a wet vacuum cleaner, you must check the water level in the recovery
tank regularly to avoid water being sucked in by the vacuum motor.
Avoid vacuuming a big quantity of foam altogether. This might be sucked into the vacuum
•
motor and damage it. Follow steps from paragraph “Working method”.
• In case of abnormal function (very noisy motor, pump not on, extreme temperature rise, etc.)
switch the machine OFF and pull out the plug.
• After use, clean the machine and store it in a dry and closed place.
