https://harrissupplyind.com - To Order Parts Call 608-268-8080
lower the squeegee.
9. Acting upon the levers drive control (9) the machine starts to move, the base starts to vibrate and the squeegee starts to dry.
10. During the rst stretches check that the
squeegee adjustment guarantees a perfect dry-
ing action and that the detergent solution ow is appropriate. It has to be sufcient to wet the oor
uniformly. Always consider that the correct quan-
tity of solution detergent depends on type of oor,
dirtiness and machine speed.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Two values of the maximum drive working speed in forward movement can be chosen. Set the wanted speed through the speed selec­tion switch (14).
WORKING BRAKE
To stop the machine during normal working situ-
ation, it is sufcient to release the levers drive
control, as the machine is equipped with an elec­tronic braking system. The base and the deter-
gent solution ow stop automatically.
FORWARD MOVEMENT
The traction of the machine is given through an electronically controlled motor. To move the machine, switch on the key and then rotate the levers drive control placed on the han­dle bar, in forward you obtain the forward drive, in reverse the backwards movement is obtained. The control acts in a progressive way, therefore it is possible to graduate the speed depending on each requirement rotating the lever whatever it is necessary. During reverse motion the speed is reduced.
EMERGENCY BRAKE
In case of an emergency, an immediate stop can be obtained acting upon the lever of the emer­gency and parking brake (10) by pushing it down­wards.
This control blocks the machine immediately. The emergency brake functions also as a parking brake. To start again to work, release the lever by unblocking the parking button on the lever itself and act again upon the levers drive control.
