Turn the ignition key (35) to “I” and in the very first seconds of machine operation pay attention to the
following:
•
If the first green warning light (38) is flashing, the machine is set to GEL/AGM.
•
If the yellow warning light (37) is flashing, the machine is set to Discover EV AGM.
•
If the red warning light (36) is flashing, the machine is set to WET.
If the setting need to be changed, perform the following procedure.

Battery discharge during operation

C B A

Until the green warning light (A, Figure 10) stays on, the
batteries allow the machine to work normally. When the
green warning light (A) turns off, and the yellow warning
light (B) turns on, it is advisable to charge the batteries,
because the remaining charge will last for a few minutes
(depending on battery characteristics and work to be
performed). When the red warning light (C) turns on,
batteries are fully discharged. After a few seconds, the
brush/pad-holder is automatically tuned off, while the
(only for machine with traction) drive system stay on, to
finish drying the floor and drive the machine to the
appointed recharging area.

CAUTION!
Do not use the machine with discharged
batteries, to avoid damaging the batteries
and reducing the battery life.

TANK EMPTYING
An automatic float shut-off system (A, Figure 11) blocks
the vacuum system when the recovery water tank (B) is

sudden increase in the vacuum system motor noise
frequency, also the floor has not dried.

CAUTION!
If the vacuum system turns off
accidentally (for example, when the float
is activated because of a sudden machine
movement), to resume the operation: turn
off the vacuum system by pressing the
switch (D, Figure 10), then open the cover
(C, Figure 11) and check that the float
inside the grid (A) has gone down to the

BATTERY CHARGING

HGF

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow (F,
Figure 14) or red warning light (G) turns
on, or when finishing cleaning.
CAUTION!
Keeping the batteries charged make their
life last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge
them as soon as possible, as that condition
makes their life shorter. Check for battery
charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
WET battery charging produces highly
explosive hydrogen gas. Charge the
batteries in well-ventilated areas and away
from naked flames. Do not smoke while
charging the batteries. Keep the tank open
while charging the batteries.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging the
batteries as there may be battery fluid
leakages. The battery fluid is corrosive. If
it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a
physician.
