Before beginning to work, it is necessary to:
1. Before using, the appliance must be in order and safe to use
with the work equipment, especially the power cable and the
extension cable. If everything is not in order, the appliance must
not be used.
2. Insert the plug (1) of the power supply cable (2) in the mains
supply socket (3) (Fig.1).
3. Release the control handlebar from the vertical position. Press
the control column stop lever (4) in the direction indicated by
the arrow (Fig.2) and turn the control column towards yourself
(Fig.3).
ATTENTION: During this operation, do not rest your foot on
the appliance.
WORK
4. Turn the control column towards you until you nd the best
position, this position should be comfortable when using the
appliance.
5. Once the ideal position has been found, release the control
column stop lever (4) to lock the handlebar.
6. Turn the dead man's handle towards you (5) (Fig.4).
7. Press the control levers main switch (6), located under the grips
on the handlebar (Fig.5).
8. The appliance will now start to move.
9. Apply a small amount of detergent solution to the oor by
pressing the lever (7) (Fig.6), until the brush is saturated with
foam (optional solution tank kit).
10. Push the machine with the brush rotating from left to right or vice
versa.
11. Immediately afterwards, push the machine in the same way but
in the opposite direction, so that about one quarter of the working
width overlaps the previous one.
12. We recommend that you vacuum up the dirt-loaded foam at
intervals with the aid of a vacuum cleaner for liquids (optional
solution tank kit).
ATTENTION: The rst time an operator uses the machine, he/
she should become familiar with the movements to be
imparted to the shaft in order to be condent enough with the
directionality of movement of the machine, and should
therefore not operate the machine near people or obstacles.
ATTENTION: Work in slow movements to the right and left,
possibly moving back so that the operator always stands on
an area of the oor yet to be cleaned up.
ATTENTION: Keep the power supply cable behind the
operator, taking care not to operate the machine in its vicinity
in order not to damage it.
ATTENTION: Do not insist too much on the same area so as
to avoid damaging the oor, also in function of the type of
brush or abrasive oor pad chosen.
ATTENTION: If you need to work in tight spaces you can turn
the control column to the vertical position.
