TROUBLESHOOTING

SMALL AMOUNT OF THE DETERGENT OR NO DETERGENT REACHES THE BRUSH


Possible cause:
1. The brush switch (3) is not in ON position or it is broken (position it to ON or repair/replace it).
2. The detergent filter is obstructed/dirty (clean it).
3. The detergent flow control lever does not control the related tap anymore (check the control lever cable, from
the lever to the tap).
4. The detergent tap is stuck closed (replace the tap).
5. The solenoid valve is broken or there is an open in the electrical connection (replace the solenoid valve/repair
the electrical connection).
6. The service electronic board is broken (replace it)
7. There is debris in the detergent tank obstructing the output hole (clean the tank).
8. There is debris in the detergent hose obstructing the detergent flow (clean the hose).

THE DETERGENT REACHES THE BRUSH ALSO WHEN THE MACHINE IS OFF
Possible cause:
1. The solenoid valve is broken (replace it).

the motor installed on the machine can either be a BOSCH (shown in the figure below) or a AMER;
the following procedure refers to both types of motors, unless otherwise specified.
1. Remove the brush (18).
2. Drive the machine on a level ground.
3. Turn the switch key (2) to OFF position.
4. If there is recovery water in the tank (11) remove it through the hose (25).
5. If there is detergent in the tank (14) remove it through the hose (26).
6. Remove the supplied key (28) from its housing and unscrew the tank assembly fastening screw (29).
7. To operate on the brush motor (16) carefully lift the tank assembly (27) by means of the maneuver handle
(30).
8. Disconnect the battery (22) negative cable (-).
9. Disconnect the motor electrical cables (A) from the connection (B)..

WARNING!
Pay attention to the brush flange rotation while performing the following steps.

10. Connect the brush motor to the machine battery, as described in the underlying diagram, inserting the 30 A
fuse (D), for safety’s sake.
11. With an ammeter (C) check that the brush motor input is 8 I 9 A at 24V..
If the electrical input is higher, perform the following operations to detect and correct the causes:
– (AMER motor only) perform the motor brushes check (see the procedure on the following page)
– if necessary, disassemble the motor (see the procedure on the following pages) and check all its parts.
If the above-mentioned procedures do not lead to a correct electrical input, it is necessary to replace the

TROUBLESHOOTING

OPEN CIRCUIT
The circuit breaker (35) determines the open circuit. This system allows to prevent the brush motor circuits from
being damaged under overload conditions.
If there is an open in the electrical circuit, the possible causes are the following.

Brush motor; the circuit breaker (35) activates and opens the electrical circuit.

Possible cause:
1. Bulky debris or cords around the brush or between the brush and its flange (remove the brush and the debris
or cords).
2. The brush motor electrical input is too high (check the electrical input).
Wait at least 2 minutes after the break and, when the problem is solved, push the circuit breaker button (35).

THE BRUSH DOES NOT ROTATE


Possible cause:
1. To avoid damaging the floor, the brush motor turns off automatically when the machine stands still in the
same position (the brush cannot stand still in the same position).
2. The battery voltage is too low (charge the battery).
3. The electrical motor brushes are worn (replace the electrical motor brushes).
4. Malfunction in the electrical motor (repair or replace the electrical motor).
5. The circuit breaker (35) is deactivated (remove the cause of deactivation).
6. The brush ON/OFF switch (3) is broken (replace it).
7. Malfunction in the reduction unit (repair or replace it).
8. The brush rotation consent micro-switch is not correctly adjusted or is broken (adjust or replace it).
9. The wiring harness is damaged (repair it).
10. The electromagnetic switch is broken (replace it).
11. The service electronic board is damaged (replace it)
12. (BA 610 only) Over-temperature on the electronic board controlling the brush motor (wait until cool, then
check the brush motor electrical input)
13. (BA 610 only) The electronic board controlling the brush motor is damaged (check the operation of the
electronic board controlling the motor, as indicated in the related paragraph and replace it if necessary).
14. (BA 610 only) The brush belt is loose or broken (adjust it or replace it)

RECOVERY SYSTEM
TROUBLESHOOTING
OPEN CIRCUIT
The circuit breaker (36) determines the open circuit. This system allows to prevent the suction motor and its circuits
from being damaged under overload conditions.
If there is an open in the electrical circuit, the possible causes are the following.

Suction motor; the circuit breaker (36) activates and opens the electrical circuit.

Possible cause:
1. The motor is damaged (check the motor brushes/electrical input).
Wait at least 2 minutes after the break and, when the problem is solved, push the circuit breaker button (36).

DIRTY WATER SUCTION IS INSUFFICIENT OR THERE IS NO SUCTION


Possible cause:
1. The automatic float shut-off (12) is activated because the water recovery tank (11) is too full (empty the water
recovery tank).
2. The float shield (12) or the suction filter are dirty (clean them).
3. The tank cover (24) is not correctly positioned (place it correctly).
4. The tank cover gasket is not efficient or the compensating hole is obstructed (remove the causes).
5. The squeegee or suction hose obstructed or damaged (clean/repair/replace them)
6. The battery voltage is too low (charge the battery).
7. The electrical motor brushes are worn (replace the electrical motor brushes).
8. Malfunction in the electrical suction motor (repair or replace the electrical motor).
9. The circuit breaker (36) is deactivated (remove the cause of deactivation).
10. The suction ON/OFF switch (4) is broken (replace it).
11. The wiring harness is damaged (repair it).
12. The suction motor electromagnetic switch is broken (replace it).
13. The relay electronic board is damaged (replace it)

THE SQUEEGEE LEAVES LINING OR DOES NOT COLLECT WATER


Possible cause:
1. There is debris under the squeegee blades (remove it).
2. The squeegee blades are torn or worn (replace the blades).
3. The squeege assembly is unbalanced [balance it by means of the handwheel (38)].
