• If the machine malfunctions and/or operates in-
efficiently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting it
from the electric power supply or from the batteries)
and do not tamper with it.
Contact one of the manufacturer's technical service
centres.
• All maintenance or accessory replacement opera-
tions must be carried out in environments with ad-
equate lighting and only after having disconnected
the machine from the electric power supply by de-
taching the battery connector.
☞ All work on the electrical system and all mainte-
nance and repair operations (especially those not
explicitly described in this manual) should be carried
out only by authorised service centres or by special-
ised technical personnel who are experts in the sec-
tor and in the pertinent safety regulations.
☞ The machine owner can only use original acces-
sories and spare parts supplied exclusively by the
manufacturer since such parts are the only ones that
guarantee that the equipment will operate safely
without any problems. Do not use parts disassem-
bled from other machines or other kits as spare parts.
☞ Before each use, check the machine and, in par-
ticular, check that the battery charging cable and the
connector are in good condition and safe for use.
If they are not in perfect condition, do not use the
machine for any reason until an authorised specialist
repairs the defective parts.
☞ If foam or liquid is noted, immediately turn off the
suction motor.
☞ Do not use the machine on textile flooring, such as
rugs, carpeting, etc.
Wax, foaming detergents or dispersions along the
hoses may cause serious problems for the machine
or clog the hoses.

4. HANDLING INFORMATION
4.1
PACKING LIFTING AND TRANSPORT
• During all lifting or transport operations, make
sure that the packed machine is securely anchored
to prevent it from tipping over or falling accidentally.
Transport vehicle loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with adequate lighting.
The packed machine must be handled using ade-
quate devices, making sure not to damage/strike any
part of the packing, not to tip it over and to be very
careful when placing it on the ground.
☞ All these instructions also apply to the batteries
and the battery charger.
4.2
CHECKS UPON DELIVERY
☞ When the goods are delivered (machine, battery
or battery charger) by the transporter, carefully check
the condition of the packing and its contents. If the
contents have been damaged, notify the transporter
and reserve the right, in writing (select the word "re-
serve" on the document), to submit a claim for com-
pensation before accepting the goods.
4.3
UNPACKING
• Wear safety clothing and use adequate tools to
limit the risks of accidents.
Carry out the following steps if the machine is packed
with a cardboard housing:
- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the plas-
tic straps.
- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the
packed machine.
- Remove the envelops inside and check their con-
tents (use and maintenance manual, battery charger
connector)
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that
secure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the
packing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it back-
ward) by using an inclined surface that is solidly at-
tached to the floor and to the pallet.
If the machine is packed in a wooden crate:
- Detach all the wooden sides from the pallet, starting
from the top one.
- Remove the protective film wrapped around the
machine.
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that
secure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the
packing.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it back-
ward) by using an inclined surface that is solidly at-
tached to the floor and to the pallet.
Take the same precautions and follow the same in-
structions to remove the optional battery charger
from the packing (holding the special handles to ex-
tract it from the top of the packing) and the optional
battery.
After moving the machine away from all the packing,
start mounting the accessories and the batteries as
per the instructions provided in the specific section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might be
useful in the future to protect the machine and the
accessories during transport to another location or
to authorised service centres. If not, the packing can
be disposed in accordance with current disposal laws.
4.4
