TRACTION
(Only machines with traction motor) These machines are equipped with electronically
commanded traction, and continuous speed variation. To move the machine, it is
necessary to act upon the key (1), wait for 3 seconds and then rotate forwards
(forward movement) or backwards (rear movement) the lever (2) on the handle bar. In
reverse motion, the speed movement is reduced.
BRAKES
(Only machines with traction motor) The machine has two braking systems: a
working electronic brake integrated in the drive system and an emergency brake
which works by pushing downwards the lever, which works also as parking brake
when it is fixed in the proper hooking down on the right.
At the end of the work day, before performing any type of maintenance:
•Close water valve (3).
•Raise the base (1).
•Raise the squeegee (2).
•Turn off the brush switch (1).
•Turn off the vacuum motor switch (2).
•Move the machine to the water disposal point.
•Turn key (3) to the off position.
•Lift the hood (1). This frees recovery tank drain tube (2).
•Remove the drain tube from its seat, unscrew the drain plug and empty the recovery
tank (Lift the left side of the tank a few centimetres to accelerate final emptying
phases). These operations must be performed wearing rubber gloves to protect
against contact with dangerous solutions.
•The squeegee should be raised when the machine is not in use to prevent permanent
distortion of the rubber strips.
•Remove the brushes and clean them with a jet of water (see "BRUSH REMOVAL"
below).
