3.1. General description
This machine is an automatic scrubber for sweeping, washing and drying at, horizontal, smooth or moderately
rough, even and obstacle free oors in civil and industrial premises.
The automatic scrubber spreads a solution of water and detergent in the correct concentration on the oor and
then scrubs it to remove the dirt. By carefully choosing the detergent and brushes / pads from the wide range
of accessories available, the machine can be adapted to a wide range of combinations of types of oor and dirt.
A suction system incorporated in the machine dries the oor after washing by means of the low pressure
generated in the dirty water drum by the suction motor. The squeegee connected to the recovery tank collects
the dirty water.
The machine is moved forward by:
Non-Traction drive: the auto scrubber is provided with a special mechanical drive device which exploits
the friction between the brush and the oor to generate a forward movement (for further details, see
paragraph 6.7).
Traction drive: the auto scrubber is moved forward by means of a special electromechanical drive device.
3.2. Legend
The main parts of the machine are as follows:
1. Control panel
2. Recovery tank – collects the dirty water picked up from the oor after washing [Ref. 2]
3. Head lift pedal – raises the brush head during transport [Ref. 3]
4. Head assembly – holds the brushes / pads [Ref. 4]
5. Brushes / pads – distribute the chemical solution on the oor and removes the dirt [Ref. 5]
6. Squeegee assembly – wipes and dries the oor by collecting the water [Ref. 6]
7. Solution tank – contains and transports the mixture of clean water and chemical solution [Ref. 7]

5. Fix the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (ref. 3).
The squeegee blades scrape the lm of water and detergent from the oor and prepare the way for perfect
drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge of the blade in contact with the oor rounded and
cracked, reducing the drying eciency and requiring it to be replaced. The state of wear should be checked
frequently.
For perfect drying, the squeegee must be adjusted in such a way that the edge of the rear blade bends during
operation by about 45° with respect to the oor at every point. Adjust the angle of the blade during operation
by regulating the height of the two wheels positioned behind the squeegee (ref. 1).
6.3. Moving the machine when not in operation
To move the machine, proceed as follows:

At the end of work:
• Place the tap lever (except 400 Eco & 670 Eco) in the “CLOSED” position;
• Release the brush/drive lever located under the handgrip. This turns the brush/drive motor o and
the machine stops;
• Stop the brush / pad;
• Lift the lever to raise the squeegee from the oor to prevent the continuous pressure from warping
the blades;
• Let the suction motor run for at least 2 minutes to make sure it is completely dry, then press “0”
on the suction switch to switch o the suction motor;
• Remove the brushes (or drive pads) to prevent them from warping permanently;
• Press the button to turn the optional CHEM DOSE accessory o;
• Depending on the model, disconnect the ANDERSON connectors;
• Empty and clean the dirty recovery tank.
6.8. Some useful tips to get the most from your autoscrubber
In the event of particularly stubborn dirt on the oor, washing and drying can be performed in two separate
operations.
6.8.1. Prewashing using brushes or pads
1. Adjust the detergent ow, except 400 / 670 Eco machines;
2. Place the brush switch in position “1”;
3. Lower the head;
4. Operate the drive lever to rotate the brushes;
5. Make sure the suction motor is o and the squeegee is raised;
6. Begin washing.
The ow of water must be adjusted in proportion to the desired advance speed. The slower the machine
moves forwards, the less water is needed. Persist when washing particularly dirty points to give the detergent
time to perform its mechanical action, detaching and suspending the dirt, and the brushes time to exert an
eective mechanical action.
6.8.2. Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction motor on, pass over the same area washed previously. The result is
equivalent to in-depth washing and subsequent ordinary maintenance will take less time.
To wash and dry at the same time, operate the brush, water, squeegee and suction motor simultaneously.
6.9. Draining the dirty water
Use suitable personal protection devices. Drain the dirty water with the machine

2. Detach the drain hose (ref. 2) from its seat by holding it near the xing spring (ref. 3) and pulling horizontally;
3. Keeping the hose end as high as possible, unscrew and remove the cap (ref. 4);
4. Lower the hose end gradually, controlling the intensity of the ow of water by adjusting the height
from the ground;
5. Check the amount of dirt left in the dirty water drum and if necessary wash it out. To facilitate cleaning
and complete emptying of the drum, you are recommended to unfasten and lift it;
6. When the dirty water has been totally drained, lower the dirty water drum (if previously lifted) and refasten
to the detergent tank;
7. Close the drain hose (ref. 2) by replacing the cap (ref. 4), check that it is tightly closed and replace
the hose in its housing.
When washing the recovery tank, never remove the suction lter (ref. 2 below) from

The water and detergent solution can also be used to wash the recovery tank or software.
Information
7. Periods Of Inactivity
If the machine is not used for some time, remove the squeegee and brushes / pads, wash them and put them
away in a dry place (preferably in a bag or wrapped in plastic lm) away from dust. Park the machine with
the head lowered. Make sure the tanks are completely empty and perfectly clean.

wiring).
Batteries: Completely recharge the batteries before storing them. During long periods of inactivity, you should
charge the batteries regularly (at least once every two months) to keep them constantly at maximum charge.
8. Battery Maintenance And Charging
See appropriate Dustbane literature for specics on battery maintenance and charging.
9. Maintenance Instructions
Never perform any maintenance operations without rst disconnecting the batteries.
Maintenance on the electrical circuit and all other operations not explicitly described
in this manual must be performed by specialised personnel only, in compliance with current
Danger
9.1. Maintenance - General rules
Performing regular maintenance according to the Manufacturer’s instructions improves performance
and extends the working life of the machine. When cleaning the machine, respect the following:
safety legislation and as described in the maintenance manual.
• Avoid the use of high pressure washers. Water could penetrate the electrical compartment or motors
leading to damage or the risk of short circuit;
• Do not use steam to avoid the heat warping plastic parts;

9.2.4 Squeegee blades: replacing
The squeegee blades collect the lm of water and detergent from the oor and prepare the way for perfect
drying. With time, the constant rubbing leaves the edge of the blade in contact with the oor rounded and
cracked, reducing the drying eciency and requiring it to be replaced.
Turning or replacing the squeegee blades:
1. Lower the squeegee by using the squeegee lever;
2. Remove the squeegee from its mount by completely unscrewing the two knobs;
3. Remove the suction hose sleeve from the squeegee;
4. Release the catch (ref. 3 or 6);
5. Remove the two blade retainers (ref. 2 or 7) by rst pushing them towards the body of the squeegee (ref.1)
then extracting them;
6. Remove the blade (ref. 4 or 5);
7. Reuse the same blade by reversing the edge in contact with the oor until all four edges are worn out,
or replace with a new blade, tting it onto the screws on the body of the squeegee (ref. 1);
8. Reposition the two blade retainers (ref. 2 or 7) by centering the widest part of the slots over the xing
screws on the squeegee body (ref. 1), then pushing the blade retainers inwards;
