If the overload persists, the brush/pad-holder stops.To start scrubbing again after a brush/pad-holder stop due to overload, stop the machine by turning the ignitionkey (80) to “0”. Turn on the machine by turning the ignition key (80) to “I”.Battery discharge during operationUntil the green warning light (81a) stays on, the batteries allow the machine to work normally.When the green warning light (81a) turns off, and the yellow warning light (81b) turns on, it is advisable to charge the batteries,because the residual autonomy will last for a few minutes (depending on battery characteristics and work to be performed).When the red warning light (81c) turns on, the autonomy is over. After a few seconds, the brush/pad-holder is automatically tunedoff, while the vacuum system and (only for SCRUBTEC 545BL, 553BL and BOOST 5) the drive system stay on, to finish drying thefloor 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.
