Loosen the squeegee fast fixing nodule. Slide the squeegee out of the support bracket. Pull to remove the suction hose from the squeegee assembly. Clean squeegee under running water using a sponge or a brush. Check the efficiency and the wear on the blades in contact with the floor. 16 vaxcommercial.co.uk Maintenance Squeegees are designed to pick up dirty liquid from hard floors. Regular cleaning tends to round or deteriorate the sharp edge of the blade, which reduces pick up and therefore drying efficiency. This force tends to round or to deteriorate the sharp edge of the blade, reducing drying efficiency. This is why the squeegee blades must be replaced. Cleaning the brush Rotate the brush to ‘dead point’ releasing tabs on the brush guard and brushes. Press firmly down on top of the brush to release brush plate. Vax Careline: (UK) 0330 026 4275 Clean the brushes under running water. To avoid damaging the floor and the machine, carefully check if debris, such as metallic parts, screws, chips, cords or similar items, have become lodged in the brushes. 17 Maintenance Cleaning the suction hose • This will prevent blockages affecting the machines performance and will reduce odour build up. • It is recommended that the suction hose is cleaned at regular intervals (weekly) or whenever performance is reduced. • Detach the suction hose from the squeegee. • Remove the suction hose from the machine via the connection hole in the dirty water tank. • Wash the hose and remove any blockages. • After cleaning, securely attach the suction hose to the machine and squeegee. Cleaning the machine body • Use a sponge or a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the machine and if necessary, a soft brush to remove tough dirt. • Steam cleaner can be used but not use a high pressure cleaner to clean the body of the machine. • Important: Running water hotter than 50°C, a high-pressure cleaner or powerful spray may damage the tanks and the machine. • Warning: Never direct cleaning water jets towards the machine electrics. 18 vaxcommercial.co.uk d.
