FUNCTIONING
Checkthat allstepsdescribedabovehavebeencompletedcorrectlybeforeusingthemachine.
Before startingthe washing procedurewiththemachine, remove any solid residual suchas
dust,lumps,stones, glass, paper etc.from thesurface whichhastobe treated.
1Aftertheenginehasturnedon,move themachine
backandforthwith linearmovements.Thelever
placed beneaththehandlewill allow youto
dispensetheliquidpreviouslypoured inthetank.
The engineof this appliance is equipped withasafety device whichcutsit offincaseofoverload.
If this situation occurs,it isnecessarytoreturnthehandle to its initial position,turn off the
battery and turnitonagain,and thenresumenormal work.Intheevent thattheenginedoes
not workagain, contactourafter-salesservice.
Donot makecircularmovements with themachine sothatitcancollectthe dispensed liquid.
2Afterpullingthelever, theliquid willdistribute
uniformly onthefrontcylinder brush.
Intheongoing stagejust pull thelever halfway; in theretuningstage, releasethelever, thus
allowing the liquid recovery.
In thereturningstage, themachine shall passthrough thesamehallwayof theongoingstage,
thus allowing a completerecoveryof thedispensed liquid.

3Therecoveryof thedispensed liquidoccurs
automaticallybymeansofmechanicalcollection.
The liquidwillflowintothewastesituatedinthe

Itis importantto empty the waste when the seepliquidreaches themaximum mark printed
on the backof thewaste, thusavoidinganaccidentalreleaseofthesame.
TRANSPORT
Totransportthemachinesafely,followthesesteps:
1Themachinehas tworubberwheelssituatedin
thelowerpart.Bypullingthetanktowardsyou,
without pressing thekick-start pedal,thefront
partofthemachinewill beliftedup, guaranteeing
aneasy transportation..
If theliquidinthe waste hasreachedthehighest level,itisnecessaryto emptyitbefore
carrying themachine.
2Itispossibletolift theentiremachineup,inorder
tomoveittoanupperfloorofthehouse,byusing
thedesignatedslitsituated onthelowerpartof the
tank.
Donot lift themachineupbyusingtheupperknobof the tank.
For transportation withvehicles,ensure the machinesothatitcannot in anyway move.
