adjustable feet M12, located underneath the washer housing.

6 Setup and adjustments before first start-up

Washer should be installed in place according to the separate technological plan Installation of
the washer consists of its connection to:

- water system, using elastic hose, diameter of connection ½``

- drain to sewage (need to guarantee tightness)

- electrical installation of 3x400V/50Hz - socket secured by a residual–current switch

Electrical connection should ensure the correct direction of brushes rotations – horizontal
brushes should rotate inward

7.Beginning of work.

To clean BOOTS, user must place one shoe between side brushes and above bottom sin-
gle brush, in washing area. The main working parts - brushes driven by a gear motors are acti-
vated by pressing switch located on the arm on the right hand side of the device. It also al-
lows a water supply to the spraying nozzles. There is also a basket/shelf fixed to the top sur-
face of housing. It is made of rods and allows to place in it a container with detergent. A plas-
tic suction tube need to be immersed in container with liquid detergent - it feeds sole wash-
ing system. Water mixed with disinfectant is sprinkled on the bottom brush, it supports clean-
ing process and facilitates removal of contaminations. Start of the process is initiated by
pressing the button on the arm. Time of washing depends on button pressing time. Release of
the button causes stop of the process.
