MACHINE START AND STOP
Starting the machine
Prepare the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.1. Turn the ignition key (58) to “I” without pressing the drive pedal (4). Check if the battery green warning light (62) turns on.2. If the yellow or red warning light turns on, turn the ignition key (58) back to “0” and charge the batteries (see the procedure in
Maintenance chapter).
Drive the machine to the working place by keeping the hands on the steering wheel and pressing the pedal (4).3. The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal (4).
The forward/reverse gear is selected with the relevant lever (51) which is at the right of the steering wheel.4. NOTE
The driver’s seat (17) is equipped with a safety sensor, which allows the machine to be driven by pressing the pedal (4)
only when the operator is on the driver’s seat.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with an anti-skid safety system (LED (72) flashing) that reduces the speed when turning and
when the machine tilts laterally, irrespectively of the pressure on the pedal.
In this case, the reduction of speed is not a malfunction but a characteristic that improves the machine stability and
safety in every condition.
Lower the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by pressing the switch (67).5. Press the solution flow control switches (59 and 60) according to the type of cleaning to be performed.6. Start scrubbing, by turning the steering wheel (1) and moving the machine forward by pressing the pedal (4).7. NOTE
The machine is equipped with a safety system that turns on the brushes and vacuum system only when the machine is
moving.
Stopping the machine
Release the pedal (4).8. It is not necessary to lock the machine during stopping or parking, because the electromagnetic brake on the wheel turns on
automatically when the drive pedal is not pressed.
Lift the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by pressing the switch (67).9.

Squeegee adjustment
If necessary, stop the machine and turn the squeegee balance adjusting handwheel (35) so that the rear blade - in all its length4. - touches the floor.
Adjustment of the detergent concentration in the solution
(For machine with EcoFlex™ system)
The system used to mix the detergent with the washing water can be activated by pressing the detergent flow control switch (A, Fig.
4): when the LED (B) is on, the detergent is added to the washing water.
The display (C) shows the detergent concentration level in the solution as shown in the table in Figure 5.
NOTE
The detergent concentration in the solution dispensed from the system always corresponds to level 1. In order to
temporarily obtain a stronger concentration, press the EcoFlex™ switch or disable the EcoFlex™ system (see the
relevant paragraph).
EcoFlex™ function
Lift the EcoFlex™ lever (D, Fig. 4) whenever a stronger washing power is required.
When lifting the lever (D) (LED (E) flashing) the solution flow increases, the extra pressure function activates (for machines with
EcoFlex™ system) and the detergent concentration in the corresponding solution rises to the set level (moreover, if the detergent
mixing function is not activated, it activates automatically).
The original settings can be restored by lifting the lever (D) once again (LED (F) on).
NOTE
If the lever (D) is not lifted once again, the original settings are restored automatically after 60 seconds.
In order to change the actual detergent concentration, proceed as follows:
Turn off the detergent flow control switch (A) (the LED (B) must be OFF).1. Press and hold the detergent flow control switch (A) until the LED (B) flashes.2. Release the switch (A). Press it again shortly to go to the next level shown by the display (C) as shown in the table in Figure 4;3. repeat the procedure until the desired setting is reached.
Wait until the LED (B) stops flashing: the new level is now set.4. NOTE
Detergent percentage setting is stored into memory, even if the machine is turned off.
