Instructions for Operating the SWM680 Power Grout Sponge

Please read before operating SWM680:
  1. Before using SWM680 Power Grout Sponge Machine, remove all objects from the floor - such as tools, screws, etc. Run the sponge belt several rounds through the water buckets to ensure water saturation of the sponge belt.
  2. Move the SWM680 Sponge Machine diagonally to grout joints in long strokes, 6 to 8 feet, go from left to right.
  3. Forward motion pre-cleans and backward motion is the main clean. If grout joints are too low or washed away machine height can be adjusted accordingly or can be pushed up by the handle when in forward motion to achieve the best results. If the surface is uneven, lift the machine slightly during backward motion to achieve an even clean.
  4. Make sure the water is changed frequently to avoid foam build-up. If too much foam build-up is experienced, use De-foamer, which can be ordered here:
  5. Keep a second container of water ready for faster change of water. Please note: Use only the correct amount of water necessary; do not overfill buckets. See instructions on the machine.
  6. Never run the sponge belt dry, as this may cause damage to the belt. Always moisten the belt before running the machine.
  7. Do not expose the sponge belt to high temperatures or prolonged exposure to strong sun, as the seam may split.
  8. Should the sponge belt split or rip, this can be repaired using a contact spray adhesive available from Schwammfix - contact us on 0330 122 1025 for details 
  9. During cold temperatures or after extensive use, the sponge belt may lengthen. If tap water gets too cold, change the water and the belt will return to its normal size.
  10. Do not push the machine in forward motion too fast, as the sponge belt could get damaged.
  11. Make sure the chain, sponge belt and rollers are greased frequently with lithium grease.
  12. Clean SWM680 Power Grout Sponge Machine after each use.
