TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

• CAUTION – This machine is heavy.

• Take extreme care when moving the machine up or down steps or stairs.

• Incorrect lifting techniques may result in personal injury.
  We advise that the manual handling regulations are followed. Carefully wrap the power cord and store it in a dry indoor location.

• DO NOT expose the machine to rain or moisture.

• When transporting the machine ensure that all components, tanks, and removable parts are securely fastened and that the power cord and plug are not trailing.

• Ensure the machine is empty prior to lifting or transporting.

• DO NOT attempt to lift the machine without assistance.

• When moving the machine, the handle should be locked and the machine tilted back on its wheels.

• DO NOT lift or transport the machine whilst containing liquid as this will add considerably to the weight.

• When transporting the machine the handle should be locked in the upright position.

STORAGE

• Always switch off the machine after use.
• Store the machine in a dry indoor area only.
• Wrap the power cord around the handlebar ensuring that the plug is not trailing on the floor.
• Never store the machine with a pad fitted as this causes distortion, and results in instability during operation.
•  Always switch off, empty, wipe down and dry the machine after use.
• IMPORTANT – To dispose of unused cleaning solutions, comply with the standards in force in the country in which the machine is being used.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING – Before undertaking maintenance operations or adjustments switch off the machine and unplug from the electricity supply.
IMPORTANT – All other servicing and repairs should only be performed by a Truvox engineer or Authorised Service Agent.

IMPORTANT – Should the machine fail to operate please refer to the fault diagnosis section at the back of this instruction manual. If the problem/remedy is not listed please contact Truvox Customer Service Department for rapid attention.
The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from the following checks by the operator prior to use:

• Body of the machine – Clean with a damp cloth.
• Power cord – Regularly inspect sheath, plug, and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection. Only replace the power cord with the type specified in these instructions.
• Air vents – Check for dust accumulation around the air inlet and outlet vents of the motor cooling-air system and clean if necessary.
• Blocked vents will cause the motor to overheat, and may lead to premature failure. Warranty claims for this type of damage will not be accepted.
• Solution tank – Check water flow, if restricted inspect hoses and tubes for blockage or kinks.
• Check the switch interlock for correct operation.
• Motor overload cut-out – All machines are fitted with an automatic reset motor overload cut-out. The cut-out will operate to protect the motor from overheating by switching the machine off when there is excessive friction/resistance to the cleaning head on the floor. This is usually caused by the stickiness of the pad or floor. Turn the cleaning pad over or if both sides are dirty replace it with a clean pad. It is not possible to obtain a good finish on the floor using a dirty pad. Should the cut-out operate it will reset automatically when the motor has cooled sufficiently, usually after 15 – 30 mins.
• Drive boards, pads, and brushes – Inspect for wear and replace worn brushes. Clean under running water.
