• pour clean water and detergent in the right concentration into the solution tank (fig. 2, N°. 23)
leaving a gap of at least 5 cm between the surface of the liquid and the tank inlet;
• refit the tank cover (fig. 2, N°. 2).
5.10 Work
Once you have prepared the machine with the mains cable connected to the power socket (or
with the batteries charged and the battery wiring connector (fig. 3, N°. 34) connected to the
cleaner (fig. 3, N°. 36)), with the detergent solut ion tank (fig. 2, N°. 23) full and with the brush
fitted:
• set the brush switch (fig. 2, N°. 7) to position I;
• set the suction motor switch (fig. 2, N°. 8) to position I: the suction unit will start up;
• push the squeegee lever forward (fig. 2, N°. 5): the squeegee will touch the floor;
• move the tap control slider (fig. 2, N°. 4) to th e right: the tap will open, allowing the detergent
solution to flow to the brush;
• pull the brush control lever (fig. 2, N°. 11): the brush (or pad drive) will rotate, washing the
floor and exerting a thrust that will move the machine forward;
• guide the machine over the floor to be washed;
• adjust the squeegee and the flow of detergent solution as required via the controls (fig. 4, N°.
45 and N°. 46; fig. 2, N°. 4);
• for the battery-operated version, monitor the battery charge control light (fig. 2, N°. 6) which
must always be on during work. When the light begins to blink, the batteries are low and you
must stop immediately to recharge them. Continuing to wash with the light blinking can lead
to permanent battery damage;
• monitor washing performance and replace the detergent solution when it has run out;
• do not stand still with the suction unit on and the detergent solution tap (fig. 2, N°. 4) open;
• every time you fill the detergent tank (fig. 2, N°. 23), always empty the recovery tank (fig. 2,
N°. 13).
Note: if the brush control lever (fig. 2, N°. 11) is operated intermittently for a prolonged period,
the brush motor may overheat consequently damaging the motor. In addition, in the mains-
operated version the motor needs 2-3 seconds' rest in order to start up again without straining.
You should therefore use the lever in this way only when necessary, for example when moving
round obstacles.
5.11 End of work
• Let the vacuum motor work for 2 minutes with the tank cover open to be sure the vacuum
motor itself is well dry;
• check that the tap control slider (fig. 2, N°. 4) is in the closed position (i.e. positioned at the
extreme left of the machine);
• remove the brush (or pad drive) to avoid permanent deformation;
• lift the squeegee from the ground (control fig. 2, N°. 5) to avoid continuous pressure
deforming the drying blades and therefore affecting performance;
• empty and clean the recovery tank;
• unplug, or recharge the batteries according to the model.
5.12 How to get the most out of your floor cleaner
When removing particularly stubborn dirt, washing and drying can be performed in two separate
stages:
