TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The FIMOP is a scrubbing machine that cleans a wide range of
ooring and dirt types by means of the mechanical action of the
discoidal brush and the chemical action of a water-detergent
solution. As it advances, it collects the dirt that has been removed
INTENDED USE
This scrubbing machine was designed and built for the cleaning
(scrubbing and drying) of smooth, compact ooring in the
commercial, residential and industrial sectors by a qualied operator
in proven safety conditions. The scrubbing machine is not suitable
for cleaning rugs or carpets. The appliance is only suitable for use in
indoor - or at least covered - areas.
SAFETY
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No
accident prevention programme can be effective without the full
co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine
operation. The majority of occupational accidents that happen both
in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect
SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
The serial number plate is located inside the device on the
underside of the front housing, and indicates the general appliance
characteristics (in particular, the serial number). The serial number is
a very important piece of information and should always be provided
together with any request for assistance or when purchasing spare
parts.

not be used.
2. Rotate the handlebar so it is vertical.
ATTENTION: during this operation, do not rest your foot on
the appliance.
3. Activate the appliance using the main switch (1) (Fig.1).
ATTENTION: if the LED of the main switch (1) (Fig.1) is lit up,
this means the electrical system of the appliance is activated.
4. Check the battery charge level. There are four LEDs (2) on the
battery to show the charge percentage (Fig.2). If all the LEDs are
lit up, the battery is fully charged; if they are all switched off, the
battery is completely run down.
5. Deactivate the appliance using the main switch (1) (Fig.3).

the work you want to carry out. If it isn't, perform the necessary
maintenance (read “MAINTENANCE”).
9. Make sure the condition of the brush is suitable for the work you
want to carry out. If it isn't, perform the necessary maintenance
(read “MAINTENANCE”).
10. Rotate the front carter (5) as far as it will go - do this with the aid
of the handle (6) (Fig.6).

ATTENTION: always use detergents whose manufacturer's
label indicates their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not
use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this
indication. Acid or alkaline maintenance detergents can be
used, as long as they have pH values between four and ten,
and do not contain :oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine,
formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
ATTENTION: protective gloves should always be worn before
handling detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions, to avoid
serious injury to the hands.
ATTENTION: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the
production of foam, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid
in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure
acids.

WORK
Before beginning to work, it is necessary to:
1. Carry out the operations described in the “PREPARING TO
WORK” chapter.
2. Check that the squeegee body is in contact with the surface to be
cleaned. If it isn't, turn the knob (1) in the direction of the arrow
(Fig.1).
ATTENTION: Fig.1 shows the left side of the device. Rotate
the knob on the right-hand side in the opposite direction.
3. Release the handlebar from its vertical position and rotate it
towards you.
ATTENTION: during this operation, do not rest your foot on
the appliance.
4. Adjust the control handlebar.
5. Activate the appliance using the main switch (2) (Fig.2).
ATTENTION: if the LED of the main switch (2) (Fig.2) is lit up,
this means the electrical system of the appliance is activated.
ATTENTION: as soon as the device has been activated, the

pump control switch (3) (Fig.3).
6
5
119 10
ATTENTION: if the LED of the electric pump control switch (3)
(Fig.3) is active, this means the pump will supply detergent
solution.
7. The appliance will now begin to work with full efciency until the
battery is at or until the detergent solution runs out.
ATTENTION: the joint on the device guarantees greater
manageability. To make a left-hand turn, rotate the handle to
the left (Fig.4); rotate it to the right when you want to turn right.
ATTENTION: if you need to turn back while you are working,
just rotate the device by 180° by rotating the control handle.
ATTENTION: if the handlebar is placed in the idle position
(vertical) during use, the brush motor and electric pump will
stop working. After a few seconds, the vacuum motor will
switch off as well.
ATTENTION: if the charge level reaches a certain value
during use, the brush motor and the electric pump will stop
working. After a few seconds, the vacuum motor will switch off
automatically as well. Both the LED of the main switch and
that of the electric pump control switch will remain ON.
