ENGLISH USER MANUAL20 909 6752 000(3)2010-03 A BA 551 - BA 551D - BA 551CD - BA 611DWorking with brush/pad-holder extra pressure function turned onIf the floor proves to be particularly difficult to clean, it is possible to turn on the brush/pad-holder extra pressure function bypressing the pedal (11) to position (11c).CAUTION!When the cylindrical brush deck (18c) is installed, the extra pressure function is not enabled.CAUTION!In case of brush/pad-holder motor overload, due to foreign bodies which prevent them from turning, or toexcessively aggressive floors/brushes, the safety system stops the motor after about one minute of continuousoverload.The overload is shown by the three warning lights (81a, 81b, 81c) flashing simultaneously.If the overload takes place when the extra pressure function is on (11c), press the pedal to position (11b). If theoverload 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 BA 551D, BA 551CD, BA 611D) the drive system stay on, to finish drying the floor anddrive 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 EMPTYINGAn automatic float shut-off system (36) turns off the vacuum system when the recovery tank (21) is full.The vacuum system deactivation is signalled by a sudden increase in the vacuum system motor noise frequency, and the floor isnot dried.CAUTION!If the vacuum system turns off accidentally (for example, when the fl oat is activated because of a suddenmachine movement), to resume the operation: turn off the vacuum system by pressing the switch (73), thenopen the cover (22) and check that the fl oat inside the grid (36) has gone down to the water level. Then close thecover (22) and turn on the vacuum system by pressing the switch (73).When the recovery tank (21) is full, empty it according to the following procedure.Recovery tank emptyingStop the machine.1.Lift the brush/pad-holder deck by pressing the pedal (11).2.Lift the squeegee (25) with the lever (10).3.Drive the machine to the appointed disposal area.4.Empty the recovery tank with the hose (16). Then, rinse the tank with clean water.5.Solution/clean water tank emptyingPerform steps 1 to 4.6.Empty the solution tank with the hose (17). Then, rinse the tank with clean water.7.Cylindrical brush debris container emptying (only for cylindrical brush deck)Stop the machine.8.Lower the cylindrical brush deck and remove the debris container (D, Fig. 3) by pulling it on one side with the handle (E).9.Empty and wash the debris container (D), and then install it by engaging it on the fasteners.10.
