WARNING!
Before using the machine, close all doors and/or covers.–
The machine power supply cable is grounded and the relevant plug is grounded too. In case of machine–
malfunction or breakdown, grounding connection reduces the risk of electric shock.
The power supply cable plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet, which is grounded according to–
law in force.
Improper connection can cause electric shock. Consult a qualified technician to make sure that the outlet is–
properly grounded.
Do not tamper with the power supply cable plug. If the power supply cable plug cannot be connected to the–
outlet, have new grounded outlet installed by a qualified technician, according to the law in force.
Before connecting the power supply cable to the electrical mains, check that frequency and voltage, shown–
on the machine serial number plate (1), match the electrical mains voltage.
Do not unplug the machine by pulling the supply cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.–
Do not handle the plug or the machine with wet hands.–
Turn off all controls before unplugging.–
Regularly check the power supply cable for damages, cuts, cracks and wear. If necessary, replace it.–
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized Advance Service Center.–
Do not pull or carry the machine by the power supply cable and never use the power supply cable as a–
handle. Do not close a door on the power supply cable, or pull the power supply cable around sharp edges
or corners. Do not run the machine on the power supply cable.
The brushes must not come into contact with the power supply cable.–
Keep the power supply cable away from heated surfaces.–
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged–
in. Disconnect the machine from the electrical mains when not in use and before performing maintenance
procedures.
Always protect the machine against the sun, rain and bad weather, both under operation and inactivity–
condition. Store the machine indoors, in a dry place: This machine must be used in dry conditions, it must
not be used or kept outdoors in wet conditions.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.–

WARNING!
When using floor cleaning detergents, follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent bottles.–
To handle floor cleaning detergents, wear suitable gloves and protections.–
Do not use the machine as a means of transport.–
Do not allow the brush/pad to operate while the machine is stationary to avoid damaging the floor.–
In case of fire, use a powder fire extinguisher, not a water one.–
Do not tamper with the machine safety guards and follow the ordinary maintenance instructions–
scrupulously.
Do not allow any object to enter into the openings. Do not use the machine if the openings are clogged.–
Always keep the openings free from dust, hairs and any other foreign material which could reduce the air
flow.
Do not remove or modify the plates affixed to the machine.–
This machine cannot be used on roads or public streets.–
Pay attention during machine transportation when temperature is below freezing point. The water in the–
recovery tank or in the hoses could freeze and seriously damage the machine.
Use the brushes and pads supplied with the machine and those specified in the Instructions for Use Manual.–
Using other brushes or pads could reduce safety.
In case of machine malfunctions, ensure that these are not due to lack of maintenance. Otherwise, request–
assistance from the authorized personnel or from an authorized Service Center.
If the machine–
does not work properly•
is damaged•
has water or foam leaks•
has been left outdoors exposed to bad weather conditions•
is wet or has been dropped into water•
turn it off immediately and contact the Advance Service Center or a qualified technician.
If parts must be replaced, require ORIGINAL spare parts from an Otherwise Dealer or Retailer.–
To ensure machine proper and safe operation, the scheduled maintenance shown in the relevant chapter of–
this Manual, must be performed by the authorized personnel or by an authorized Service Center.
Carefully read all the instructions before performing any maintenance/repair procedure.–
Do not wash the machine with direct or pressurized water jets, or with corrosive substances.–
The machine must be disposed of properly, because of the presence of toxic-harmful materials (electronic–
components, etc.), which are subject to standards that require disposal in special centers (see the Scrapping
chapter).

120 VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
The machine must be used with an extension power cord as follows:
minimum length 15 feet–
type S, or ST, or SO, or STO, or STW–
minimum rate 300V 140/167°F (60/75°C)–
DANGER!
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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (B, Fig.–
1). A temporary adapter (B and C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (B), if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use
in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.–
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be–
attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and–
outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.
