MAINTENANCE

PREPARATION FOR USE

BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE IS CARRIED OUT THE BATTERY MUST BE UNPLUGGED OR THE MAINS LEAD UNPLUGGED.

Periodically unscrew the filter inside the scrubbing detergent tank, scrub whit a stiff brush under running water to remove any accumulated foreign matter.

Note: for the models 345-355 it is enough to pull the filter to remove it. Press the filter to mount it.

For the battery operated models, the level of the liquid inside batteries must be checked periodically, and topped up with distilled water if necessary.

Raise the bonnet, uncover the battery compartment, remove caps and check level.

Special care should be taken when handling battery liquid as it is corrosive. If it should come into contact with skin or eyes, wash abundantly with water and consult a doctor.
