The main parts of the machine are as follows:

•detergent tank (fig. A, ref. 1): contains and transports the mixture of clean water and

detergent;

•dirty water tank (fig. A, ref. 2): collects the dirty water picked up from the floor after

washing;

•control panel (fig. A, ref. 3);

•head assembly (fig. A, ref. 4): the main element is the brushes which distribute the

detergent solution on the floor and remove the dirt;

•squeegee assembly (fig. A, ref. 5): wipes and dries the floor by collecting the water;

3.3. Danger zones

A - Tank assembly: when using certain detergents, danger of irritation for eyes, skin,

mucous membranes and respiratory tract and of asphyxia. Danger represented by





IMPORTANT

During all lifting operations, make sure the packaged machine is firmly anchored to

avoid it tipping up or being accidentally dropped.

Always load/unload lorries in adequately lit areas.

The machine, packaged on a wooden pallet by the Manufacturer, must be loaded using

suitable equipment (see EC Directive 2006/42 and subsequent amendments and/or

additions) onto the transporting vehicle. At destination, it must be unloaded using similar

means.

The squeegees are packed in cardboard boxes without pallet.

A fork lift truck must always be used to lift the packaged body of the machine. Handle

with care to avoid knocking or overturning the machine.

5.2. Checks on delivery

When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the packaging and machine are both

whole and undamaged. If the machine is damaged, make sure the carrier is aware of the

damage and before accepting the goods, reserve the right (in writing) to request

compensation for the damage.

5.3. Unpacking





IMPORTANT

When unpacking the machine, the operator must be provided with the necessary

personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, etc) to limit the risk of accident.

Unpack the machine as follows:

• cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors or nippers;

• remove the cardboard;

• remove the bags in the battery compartment and check the contents:

- use and maintenance manual, declaration of conformity, guarantee certificate;

- battery bridges with terminals

- connector for battery charger;

• depending on the model, remove the metal brackets or cut the plastic straps fixing the

machine chassis to the pallet;

• using a sloping ramp, push the machine backwards off the pallet;

• unpack the brushes and squeegee;

• clean the outside of the machine in respect of safety regulations;

• once the machine is clear of the packaging, the batteries can be installed (see relevant

paragraph).

The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to

another site or to a repair workshop.

Otherwise it must be disposed off in compliance with current legislation.

5.4. Batteries

Two different types of battery may be installed on these machines:

•tubular leak-proof batteries: the electrolyte level must be checked regularly. When

necessary, top up with distilled water until the plates are covered. Do not overfill (5 mm

max. above the plates).

•gel batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.

ENGLISH

The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph on the

technical specification of the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously

jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor overheating. Batteries with a

lower capacity and weight will require charging more frequently.

They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.

i INFORMATION

Follow the instructions below to set the machine’s software for the type of battery

installed:

1. with the machine off, hold the buttons P1 (fig. B, ref. 1) and P3 (fig. B, ref. 2) down

simultaneously and then start the machine by turning the ignition key (fig. B, ref. 3)

to "1".

2. press the settings button (fig. B, ref. 4) 3 times.

3. press the "flow regulation" buttons (fig. B, ref. 5) to select the type of battery

installed on the machine "ACd" for acid battery (tubular leak-proof batteries) or

"GEL" (GEL batteries).

4. memorise the parameter displayed by holding the settings button (fig. B, ref. 4)

down until the battery voltage is displayed.

5.4.1. Batteries: preparation

!DANGER

While installing or performing maintenance on the batteries, the operator must be

provided with the necessary personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, overalls,

etc) to limit the risk of accident. Keep away from naked flames, avoid short

circuiting the battery poles, avoid sparks and do not smoke.

The batteries are normally supplied filled with acid and ready for use.

If the batteries are dry, before mounting them on the machine, proceed as follows:

• remove the caps and fill all elements with specific sulphuric acid solution until the

plates are entirely covered (this requires at least a couple of passes for each element);

• leave for 4-5 hours to allow the air bubbles to come to the surface and the plates to

absorb the electrolyte;

• make sure the level of electrolyte is still above the plates and if necessary top up with

sulphuric acid solution;

• close the caps;

• mount the batteries on the machine (following the procedure described below).

Before starting up the machine for the first time, charge the batteries as follows.

5.4.2. Batteries: installation and connection

!DANGER

Check that all switches on the control panel are in the "0" (off) position.

Make sure you connect the terminals marked with a "+" to the positive poles of the

battery. Do not check the battery charge by sparking.

Follow the instructions given below meticulously as shortcircuiting the batteries

could cause them to explode.
