GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS The regulations illustrated below must be carefully followed in order to avoid harm to the operator and damage to the machine. • Read the labels on the machine carefully. Do not cover them for any reason and replace them immediately if they become damaged. • The machine must be used exclusively by authorised, trained personnel. • During the working of the machine, pay attention to other people and especially to children. • The machine is not suitable for cleaning carpets.
MACHINE PREPARATION 1. HANDLING THE PACKAGED MACHINE The machine is contained within specific packaging. Every pallet consists of four machines arranged on two levels. It is not possible to place more than two packages on top of each other. The total weight is 70kg The overall dimensions of the package are: A : 500 mm B : 500 mm C : 1150 mm A C 2. HOW TO UNPACK THE MACHINE 1. Open the packaging on the side indicated. 2. Take the machine out of its packaging. 3. Remove the recovery tank. 3.
MACHINE PREPARATION 5. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL For maintenance and recharging, comply with the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer. Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
MACHINE PREPARATION WARNING: you are advised to only use airtight batteries in order to avoid the leakage of acids! WARNING: you are advised to have the electric connections made by a qualified, COMAC-trained technician WARNING: you are advised to always wear protective gloves in order to avoid the risk of serious injury to your hands WARNING: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size 7. CONNECTING THE CONNECTOR 1.
MACHINE PREPARATION WARNING: the machine is equipped with an automatic system that disconnects the power supply from the electrical system while the batteries are being recharged WARNING: in order not to cause permanent damage to the batteries, it is essential to avoid their complete discharge: arrange the recharge within a few minutes of the switching on of the flashing "discharged batteries" signal WARNING: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not being used WARNING: fo
MACHINE PREPARATION 11. FIXING THE HANDLEBARS For packaging purposes the handlebars are supplied folded; they must now be put in the working position. Proceed as follows: 1. raise the handlebars by pulling the lever - indicated by the arrow - upwards 2. place the machine in the working position 3. attach the recovery tank to the handlebars tube by means of the two hooks 4. insert the tubes in the connectors that emerge from the recovery tank nut 12.
MACHINE PREPARATION ATTENTION: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication. always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid into the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids. ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves in order to avoid the risk of serious injury to your hands 14.
WORK 1. PREPARING TO WORK Before fitting the tanks, it is necessary to carry out certain operations: 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Open the two rear hinges of the battery compartment Connect the connector to the batteries Close the battery compartment Position the recovery tank on the handlebars, and connect the two tubes Position the solution tank and connect the quick connector 10. carry out the operations to prepare the machine 11. lower the squeegee command lever in order to start working 12.
WORK 3. FORWARD MOVEMENTS The traction of these machines is obtained by means of the brush which, by working slightly inclined, is able to drag the machine forwards. WARNING: when making even brief reverse movements, verify that the squeegee is raised. 15 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.
AT THE END OF THE WORK At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following operations: 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn off the solenoid valve switch (3) Raise the squeegee by means of the rear handle Turn off the suction switch (2) Turn off the brush / main switch (1) 3 1 2 5. Raise the rear handle to lift up the squeegee 6. bring the machine to the place provided for draining the water 7.
DAILY MAINTENANCE PERFORM ALL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS IN SEQUENCE 1. CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the tubes attached to the connectors of the recovery tank cap Remove the cap and empty the tank Clean the filter under running water Rinse the tank and clean with a jet of water. Re-assemble everything WARNING: Before carrying out any type of maintenance, disconnect the machine's battery connector.
DAILY MAINTENANCE 3. REPLACING THE SQUEEGEE RUBBERS Verify that the state of wear and tear of the squeegee rubbers and, if necessary, replace them. To replace them you must: 1. Raise the squeegee 2. Remove the two knobs 3. disassemble the squeegee from its support 4. Remove the tube from the squeegee nozzle so the squeegee can be removed WARNING: Before carrying out any type of maintenance, disconnect the machine's battery connector.
DAILY MAINTENANCE 4. DISASSEMBLING THE BRUSH 1. 2. 3. Raise the squeegee Raise the machine, using the handlebars as a lever With the base up, activate the brush command with impulses. The brush will be automatically released WARNING: during this operation, verify that there are no people or objects near the brush. 19 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 1. CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE TUBE Periodically, or whenever suction seems to be unsatisfactory, check the squeegee tube is not obstructed. To clean it, proceed as follows: 1. remove the tube from the sleeve on the squeegee 2. remove the other end from the recovery tank 3. wash the inside of the tube with a water jet introduced from the side where it is connected to the tank 4. Re-assemble the tube WARNING: do not wash the tube running between the suction unit and the suction cap. 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY The machine is fitted with self-restoring safety fuses located in the electric system *beneath the solution tank) that interrupt the power supply to the brush and suction motors when the machine exceeds the predetermined load. To restore the power supply to the motor, switch off the machine and wait for the fuses to cool down (about 40 seconds). If the switch disconnects the current several times in a row, contact the COMAC technical assistance centre. 2.
CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL) Used on all types of floors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 60°C). The Polypropylene brush is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions. PAD HOLDER The pad holder is recommended for cleaning shiny surfaces.
MACHINE DISPOSAL To dispose of the machine, take it to a demolition centre or an authorised collection centre. Before scrapping the machine, it is necessary to remove and separate the following materials and then send them to the appropriate collection centres, in accordance with the currently effective environmental hygiene regulations: • brush • filter • Battery • electric and electronic parts* (*) In particular and in order to scrap the electric and electronic parts, contact your area distributor.
