WARNING!
The machine power supply cable is grounded and the relevant plug is grounded too. In case of machine
malfunction or breakdown, grounding connection reduces the risk of electric shock.
The power supply cable plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet, which is grounded according to
law in force.
Improper connection can cause electric shock. Consult a qualied technician to make sure that the outlet is
properly grounded.
Do not tamper with the power supply cable plug. If the power supply cable plug cannot be connected to the
outlet, have new grounded outlet installed by a qualied technician, according to the local code.
Before connecting the power supply cable to the electrical mains, check that frequency and voltage, shown
on the machine serial number plate (1), match the electrical mains voltage.
Do not unplug the machine by pulling the supply cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.
Do not handle the plug or the machine with wet hands.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Regularly check the power supply cable for damages, cracks, cuts, etc. If the power supply cable is
damaged, replace it immediately.
To avoid any risk, if the power supply cable is damaged, contact Advance Service Center or a qualied
technician.
Do not pull or carry the machine by the power supply cable and never use the power supply cable as a
handle. Do not close a door on the power supply cable, or pull the power supply cable around sharp edges
or corners. Do not run the machine on the power supply cable.
The brushes must not come into contact with the power supply cable.
Keep the power supply cable away from heated surfaces.
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury, do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged
in. Disconnect the machine from the electrical mains when not in use and before performing maintenance
procedures.
Always protect the machine against the sun, rain and bad weather, both under operation and inactivity
condition. Store the machine indoors, in a dry place.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Use only as shown in this Manual. Use only Advance recommended accessories.
Take all necessary precautions to prevent hair, jewelry and loose clothes from being caught by the machine
moving parts.
Do not leave the machine unattended without being sure that it cannot move independently.
Do not use the machine on slopes with a gradient exceeding the specications.
Do not use the machine in particularly dusty areas.
While using this machine, take care not to cause damage to people or objects.
Do not bump into furniture, shelves or scaffoldings, especially where there is a risk of falling objects.
Do not put any can containing uids on the machine.
The machine working temperature must be between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and +40°C).
The machine storage temperature must be between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and +40°C).
The humidity must be between 30% and 95%.

WARNING!
Do not use the machine as a means of transport.
Do not use the machine on slopes with a gradient exceeding the specifications.
Do not allow the brush/pad to operate while the machine is stationary to avoid damaging the floor.
In case of fire, use a powder fire extinguisher, not a water one.
Do not tamper with the machine safety guards and follow the ordinary maintenance instructions
scrupulously.
Do not allow any object to enter into the openings. Do not use the machine if the openings are clogged.
Always keep the openings free from dust, hairs and any other foreign material which could reduce the air
flow.
Do not remove or modify the plates affixed to the machine.
This machine cannot be used on roads or public streets.
Pay attention during machine transportation when temperature is below freezing point. The water in the
recovery tank or in the hoses could freeze and seriously damage the machine.
Use the brushes and pads supplied with the machine and those specified in the Instructions for Use
Manual. Using other brushes or pads could reduce safety.
In case of machine malfunctions, ensure that these are not due to lack of maintenance. If necessary,
request assistance from the authorized personnel or from an authorized Service Center.
If the machine
does not work properly
is damaged
has water or foam leaks
has been left outdoors exposed to bad weather conditions
is wet or has been dropped into water turn it off immediately and contact the Advance Service Center or a
If parts must be replaced, require ORIGINAL spare parts from an Authorized Dealer or Retailer.
To ensure machine proper and safe operation, the scheduled maintenance shown in the relevant chapter of
this Manual, must be performed by the authorized personnel or by an authorized Service Center.
Carefully read all the instructions before performing any maintenance/repair procedure.
Do not wash the machine with direct or pressurized water jets, or with corrosive substances.
The machine must be disposed of properly, because of the presence of toxic-harmful materials (electronic
components, etc.), which are subject to standards that require disposal in special centers (see the

115 VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 115 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
(B, Fig. 1). A temporary adapter (B and C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (B), if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (A) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are
not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must
be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 16 gauge minimum, three-wire cords with three-
prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 ft (15 m) long.
