THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY

ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine operates on a 15 amp nominal
120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp, hertz, and
voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious damage
to the motors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunc­tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi­nances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug in "Fig.
A". A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in
"Fig . C" may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.

Safety

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de terre
d'équipement peut entraîner des risques d'électrocu­tion. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien qualifié ou d'un
responsable de l'entretien si vous avez quelque doute
que ce soit quant au raccordement à la terre de votre
prise murale. Ne modifiez pas la fiche fournie avec
l'appareil: si elle ne correspond pas à la prise murale,
faites installer une prise adéquate par un électricien
qualifié.

Unpacking and Initial Operations

Open the shipping box on both sides, remove the
packaging material and roll the machine out of the box.

Put the handle in an upright position.

Lift the round screw knobs up and over the top latch
bracket and turn clockwise to lock properly.

Fill the water bottle with water. You can add a cleaning
solution of your choice in the prescribed mixing ratio.

Operation

Place the filled water bottle close to the machine on the
floor. Insert the filter into the water tank.

Make sure that the filter reaches the bottom of the
bottle.

To insert and remove the water bottle in and out of the
cage holder, insert or remove at an angle on the top
hoop of the cage holder.

86375030 Manual

Operation

Pre-Run Inspection

Before each use inspect the accessory such as the pad
driver for cracks, tears or excess wear. If the machine
or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage to install
an undamaged accessory.

Repair the damaged machine before the next applica­tion.

When inserting the bottle, push the container down until
it rests firmly.

Choose a pad for the appropriate application. Place the
pad in front of the machine on the floor and center the
driver plate on the pad.

To place the driver plate on the pad, position the handle
in a lower position.

Lift the machine until the wheels slightly come off the
ground and push slowly forward until the machine base
tilts towards the ground.

14

86375030 Manual

Make sure you put the wheels back on the ground in
time, to avoid the base from falling on the ground. This
might cause damage!

Assurez-vous de toujours garder les roues arrière sur
le sol, pour éviter que la base ne tombe sur le sol. Cela
pourrait causer des dommages!

Now you are able to control the base and place it
carefully on the pad

It’s not necessary to center the pad exactly. Visual
judgment is enough.

Operation

Take the power cable that comes with the machine,
connect it to its counterpart which is located on the
upper handle.

Simply push and twist lock power cables together,
clockwise.

Firmly insert so that the black rubber ring disappears
into the female coupler.

You can now plug the power cord plug into the outlet.

Never plug the power cord into the outlet before you
plug the power cable to the machine!

Ne jamais brancher le cordon d'alimentation dans la
prise avant de brancher le câble d'alimentation de
l'appareil!

86375030 Manual

Operation

Pump

For priming the pump system for the first time, put the
yellow lever, which is located on the left side of the
machine in a vertical position

Hold down the black spray button on the right end of
the handle for about 30 seconds until the pump is
working at its full capacity.

This priming procedure should be repeated after every
change of the water tank. For standard priming 10
seconds is usually sufficient.

By adjusting the yellow lever you can vary the spray
pressure. The further you move the lever counter­clockwise upwards, the higher the water pressure. A
horizontal position means maximum water output at
maximum pressure.

Adjust the spray jets on the machine base to the
desired position. For most floor cleaning applications
adjust the spray jets so that they spray about 6 inches
(15 cm) in front of the base.
