CONTROL HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Correct adjustment of the control handlebar guarantees comfortable
use of the appliance. To adjust the control handlebar, proceed as
follows:
1. If the appliance is working, turn it off via the main switch (1) (Fig.
1).
2. Unblock the handlebar from the vertical position. Push the
steering column control stop lever (2) in the direction indicated
by the arrow (Fig.2) and turn the steering column control towards
you (Fig.3).
ATTENTION: During this operation, do not rest your foot on
the appliance.
3. Turn the steering column control towards you until you nd the
right position that allows you to operate the appliance comfortably.
4. Once the ideal position has been found, release the steering
column control stop lever (2) to lock the handlebar in position.
BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR
HOUR METER
On the instrument panel of the machine there is a monitor indicating
(amongst other things) the battery charge status (B). The level of
battery charge is indicated via two symbols:
The percentage of charge: The numerical value which precedes the
% symbol
The graphic symbol: a line of luminous markings, each bar
corresponds to a % of the charge.
If the charge level reaches a certain value, the brush motor will switch
off automatically but you can still complete the drying operation.
On the machine's instrument panel there is a display indicating the
partial machine usage time (A). The top line shows the hours and
minutes of functioning.
If you push the dead man's lever, the hourglass symbol will begin to
ash and the appliance will begin to record the machine operation
time.
ATTENTION: the ashing of the hourglass symbol is the only
sign that the hour meter is counting the machine operation
time.
FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
Proceed as follows to ll the solution tank with water:
1. Take the machine to the usual place for lling the solution tank.
2. Do what is required to make sure the machine is in a safe
condition (see “MACHINE SAFETY ”).
3. Disconnect the tank stop levers (1), and rotate in the direction
indicated by the arrow (Fig.1).
4. Remove the recovery tank from the appliance using the handles
(2). Gently lay the tank on the ground (Fig.2).
5. Remove the solution tank from the appliance using the handles
(3). Gently lay the tank on the ground (Fig.3).

SOLUTION”).
10. Insert the detergent solution lling cap (5) into its seat on the
solution tank (Fig.6).
ATTENTION: it is good practice to empty the recovery tank
every time you top up the solution tank level.
11. Insert the solution tank into the appliance, taking care not to
damage the vacuum hose inlet (6) on the vacuum motor, and
the squeegee body vacuum hose (7). When positioning the tank,
use the handles (3) on the solution tank to help (Fig.7 and Fig.8).
12. Place the recovery tank above the solution tank into the
appliance, taking care not to damage the vacuum hose inlet (6)
on the vacuum motor, and the squeegee body vacuum hose (7).
When positioning the tank, use the handles (3) on the solution
tank to help (Fig.9 and Fig.10).
ATTENTION: Before placing the recovery tank in position,
check that the drainage cap is correctly in place; if not, rectify
this.
13. Fix the tanks to the body of the appliance using the tank stop
levers (1), turning these in the direction indicated by the arrow

DETERGENT SOLUTION
Add the liquid detergent to the solution tank in the concentration and
manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label.
ATTENTION: The formation of excess foam could damage
the vacuum motor, so use only the minimum amount of
detergent that is necessary.
ATTENTION: Always use detergents whose manufacturer's
label indicates their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not
use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this
indication. Acid or alkaline maintenance detergents can be
used, as long as they have pH values between four and ten,
and do not contain oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine,
formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
ATTENTION: protective gloves should always be worn before
handling detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions, to avoid
serious injury to the hands.
ATTENTION: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the
production of foam, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid
in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure
acids.
INSERTING THE BRUSH INTO THE APPLIANCE
To insert the brush or the pad holder into the brush head unit,
proceed as follows:
1. Take the appliance to its designated maintenance area.
2. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe
condition (see “MACHINE SAFETY ’”).
3. Block the handlebar in the horizontal position. Push the steering
column control stop lever (1) in the direction indicated by the
arrow (Fig.1) and turn the steering column control into the
horizontal position (Fig.2).
ATTENTION: during this process, keep the control handlebar
still, in order to prevent the appliance from moving accidentally.
4. When the handlebar is in the horizontal position, release the stop
lever (1) to lock the handlebar (Fig. 3).
5. Position the appliance with the rear part in contact with the oor
