and clean the tanks (see 7.10).
Turn OFF the machine and remove the ignition key
from the control panel.
If necessary, charge the battery (see the relative sec-
tion).
7. MAINTENANCE INFORMATIONS
•
Turn the key, remove it from the control panel and
disconnect the battery from the machine wiring.
☞ All work on the electrical system as well as all main-
tenance and repair operations (especially those not
explicitly described in this manual) should be carried
out only by authorized service centers or by special-
ized technical personnel who are experts in the sector
and in the pertinent safety regulations.
Performing regular maintenance on the machine, and
carefully following the manufacturer's instructions,
is the best guarantee for obtaining the best perfor-
mances and extended machine service life.
7.1. TANKS
Drain the two tanks as described in the relative sec-
tions.
Remove any solid dirt by filling and draining the tanks
until all dirt has been eliminated: use a washing hose
or similar tool to do this.
• Water hotter than 50°, a high-pressure cleaner or
excessively powerful sprays may damage the tanks
and the machine.
Leave the plugs of the tanks open (only while the ma-
chine is not being used) so that they can dry and thus
prevent the formation of foul odors.
7.2. SOLUTION FILTER CLEANING
To clean the solution water filter (Photo 29 - A)
proceed as specified in section 7.9.4 .
7.3. SUCTION HOSE
Detach the suction hose from the squeegee ( Photo
22 - D ). Now you can wash the hose and remove any
obstructions. Firmly insert the hose on the squeegee
body.
7.4. SQUEEGEE
• Do not handle the squeegee with bare hands: wear
gloves and any safety clothing needed to carry out
the operation.
Detach the squeegee from the machine and clean it
under running water using a sponge or a brush.
Check the efficiency and the wear on the strips in con-
tact with the floor.
They are designed to scrape the film of detergent and
water on the floor and to isolate that portion of the
surface to enhance the vacuum of the suction motor:
this ensures that the machine will dry very efficiently.
Working constantly in this manner tends to round or
to deteriorate the sharp edge of the strip, thus reduc-
ing drying efficiently.
This is why the squeegee strips must be replaced.
To replace the worn blades, follow the instructions in
the relative section.
Turn the blades around to wear down the other sharp
corners or to install new ones.
7.5. ACCESSORIES
Remove and clean the brush or the abrasive pad disk.
• To avoid damaging the floor and the machine,
carefully check if foreign matter, such as metallic
parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, has be-
come jammed.
Check that the brushes are flat as they work on the
surface (check for any irregular wear on the brushes
or on the abrasive disks).
If necessary, adjust the slant of the action on the floor.
Use only the accessories recommended by the manu-
facturer: other products may reduce operating safety.
7.6.

MACHINE BODY

Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of
the machine and, if necessary, a soft brush to elimi-
nate tough dirt.
The machine's shockproof surface is rough to make it
harder to see scratches caused during use.
However, this does not make it easier to remove
tough stains on the surface.
It is prohibited to use steam machines, hoses with
running water and high-pressure cleaners.
7.7. BATTERIES
PB-Acid batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and with all the other
instructions provided in this manual.
Exposing the element plates (not completely im-
mersed in the acid solution) will lead to rapid oxida-
tion and irreparably reduce the element's operating
capacities.
An overflowing acid solution may corrode the ma-
chine.
Use battery chargers recommended by the manufac-
turer and, in any case, those that are suitable for the
type of battery to be charged.
Always charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms:
there is an explosion risk! The use of gel or mainte-
nance-free batteries is highly recommended.
GEL batteries
Carry out maintenance operations in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and with all the other
instructions provided in this manual.
Use only those battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer.
If the batteries are not used for an extended period
