At The End Of Work; Additional Functions; Some Useful Suggestions For The Optimal Use Of The Machine - IPC CT105 Manual De Instrucciones

If for any reason the battery voltage drops considerably below the level envisaged, even
temporarily, the drive lock may cut in. In this case the machine must be switched off and

At the end of work:

► move the cock lever (fig. 8, ref. 3) to the position "CLOSED";
► release the drive lever (fig. 8, ref. 6) placed in front of the handgrip: the drive motor switches
off and the machine stops;
► raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (fig. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up to stop
the brushes (or drive discs or rollers) and raise them to prevent them becoming perma-
nently distorted;
► let the suction motor run for at least 2 minutes to make sure that it is completely dry;
► by raising the lever (fig. 8, ref. 11), lift the squeegee from the ground to prevent continuous
pressure causing distortion of the drying blades and to switch off the suction motor;
► turn the main switch (fig. 8, ref. 13) to the "0" position (off) to disable all the machine's
functions;
► engage the parking brake via the pedal (fig. 8, ref. 12);
► empty and clean the recovery tank.

Additional functions

The machine is provided with additional functions that can be activated by removing some fuses
inside the control panel (fig. 14).
FU6 FUSE FUNCTION
When fuse FU6 is removed, the electronic control of the head is enabled, in particular the following
functions:
Brush timer: if the drive is released, the brushes will stop after a few seconds; to reactiva-
►
te the brushes, simply pull the drive lever.
► Battery protection: when the batteries are flat, first the red led comes on, then the brushes
lock; in this case a continuous buzzer reminds the user that the head must be raised to
prevent damage to the brushes, since the drive continues to operate. The brush motors are
re-enabled by reset of the key (fig. 8, ref. 2) if the batteries have sufficient load and voltage.
FU7 FUSE FUNCTION
Gel battery activation (the discharge voltages are varied for operation with the gel batteries).
FU8 FUSE FUNCTION
Water is delivered to the brushes only when the drive is activated.

Some useful suggestions for the optimal use of the machine

If the floor presents a particularly resistant type of dirt, it is possible to make the machine wash and
dry it in separate stages.
Pre-washing
► Turn on the water cock;
► switch on the brush motor and lower the head;
► adjust the head pressure, which depends on the type of floor and dirt to be removed;
► start washing with the suction motor off and the squeegee lifted.
The flow of water must be dosed in proportion to the desired advance speed: the slower the machi-
ne goes, less water comes down.
Insist on washing the dirtiest spots: in this way the detergent has the time to perform its chemical
action for the detachment and suspension of dirt, and the brushes to develop an effective mecha-
nical action.
Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction unit operating pass again on the same area you have
previously washed. In this way you obtain a result that is similar to a thorough washing and the
