er must be equal to 24 V.
- Take connector (39) from the appropriate
housing (38) and connect it to the external
battery charger.
- Connect the battery charger to the electri-
cal network.
- When the recharging is nished, discon-
nect the battery charger from the network
and from connector (39).
- Lower the recovery water tank carefully
(11).
5.1.b - Battery charging with on-
board battery charger (if
present) (Fig. G)
- From the appropriate housing (38), take
and connect the plug of the battery charg-
er cable (40) to the electrical network (the
network voltage and frequency must be
the same as the corresponding values
of the battery charger, shown in the ma-
chine’s registration plate).
NOTE:
When the battery charger is connected to the
electrical mains, all machine functions are
automatically disabled.
- On the display (41 Fig. F), when the seg-
ments light up in sequence on the bat-
tery symbol , this means that the battery
charger is charging the batteries.
- When all the segments in the battery
symbol are lighted up steadily, the battery
charging cycle has ended.
- Disconnect the battery charger cable (40)
from the electrical network and insert it
into the appropriate housing (38).
- Lower the recovery water tank carefully
(11).

6.1 - MACHINE CONTROLS
6.1.a - Control panel (Fig. F)
(29) Ignition key
- Turned in a clockwise direction to “ON” it
powers the circuits, enabling machine op-
eration.
- Turned in an anti-clockwise direction to
“OFF” it disconnects power to the circuits
and can be removed.
(30) Buttons for maximum speed
adjustment
It is possible to adjust the maximum travel
speed using buttons (30a) “ ” and (30b)
“ ”.
- Pressing the accelerator pedal (7) com-
pletely, the speed will be adjusted propor-
tionally to the maximum set value.
- When all speed symbols “ ” are lighted

(42) “Ready to go” button
- Pressing the button (42) on the display,
the icon “ ” shows up and the follow-
ing functions are started according to a
standard setting:
• Lowering of the brushes deck and rota-
tion of the brushes.
• Lowering of the squeegee and starting
of the suction device.
• Work speed = 3^ notch (3,6 km/h).
• Water ow = 3^ notch.
• Chemical agent = 3^ notch (1%).
• Suction = normal (100%).
• Brushes pressure = normal.
- With this standard function activated it is
possible to press any work button for any
modication or adjustment.
If necessary, when a modication is set in the
work functions, it is possible to save it acting
as indicated below:
- Press and keep pressed the button (42)

ed on the display (41) by the ashing of
“RESET”.
(43) ECO button
- When pressing the button (43) on the
display in the work phase, the icon “ ”
shows up, the parameters of water, chem-
ical agent, suction and holder pressure
assume the following values:
• Water ow = 3^ notch.
• Chemical agent = 3^ notch (1%).
• Suction = silent (50%).
• Brushes pressure on the oor = nor-
mal.
(44) Suction button

speed of the suction turbine, signicantly
reducing the noise emitted by the ma-
chine; with the function enabled, the “
icon appears on the display.
- Pressing the button (45) again disables
the function and the machine resumes op-
erating in standard mode, the “ ” icon
turns o󰀨 and the “ ” icon appears on
the display.
