The label has never to be removed and should always be kept readable. In case of
damage t is necessary to ask for a duplicate. The autoscrubber machine cannot be sold
without the label.
2.2. DESCRIPTION AND COMPONENTS
The autoscrubber machine – I 42/60 GAS - has been designed to clean flat surfaces by means of washing
and suction of the washing water.
This machine is equipped with a traction system based on two hydraulic motors. They operate the rear
traction wheels and are fed by a variable delivery pump.
Three hydraulic motors operate the washing brushes. These hydraulic motors are fed by a fixed delivery
pump connected to the variable delivery pump.
The autoscrubber is equipped with two systems: one 12V system and one 36V system. The first system
controls the functioning of the explosion engine, i.e. the hydraulic solenoid valve and the gas system. The
second system is operated by an endothermic engine which starts a dynamo. The dynamo develops a 36V
voltage that controls:
• the lift up or the sink of the squeegee;
• the lift up or the sink of the brushes plate;
• the suction motor;
• the flashing light.
The machine is equipped with two rotating brushes which wash the surface by means of water and
detergent. Whilst the machine is running forward, the back brush (squeegee) picks the water up that is
directly sucked into the recovery tank.
Thanks to the dashboard the operator can control all the machine functions and a series of leds shows to
the operator the battery status or the errors detected by the electronic card.
The operator can control all the main machine functions and in particular:
Start the washing brushes;
Regulate the quantity of water;
Start the suction motor;
Start the lift or the sink of the squeegee;
Choose the forward or back gear;
Start or stop the machine.

4.7. FUNCTIONING
The operator, thanks to his/her experience, has to choose the right type of brush and detergent for the
surfaces that has to be washed and to decide if the floor needs a second washing.
Follow these instructions for a correct washing:
1. press the brushes motor switch (nr. 1);
2. press the solution solenoid valve switch (nr. 4);
3. press the suction switch (nr. 2).
By means of the accelerator pedal the washing brushes and the suction motor are activated. On the
contrary, both the washing brushes and the suction motor are disactivated after a few seconds if the operator
leaves this pedal. Before the surface is completely dry, the operator must switch the solution solenoid valve
off because this is not activated/disactivated by the accelerator pedal.
The operator has to do a second washing if the surface is particularly dirty:
1. wash the surface with the squeegee up and the brushes down;
2. activate the brushes;
3. press the solution solenoid valve switch;
4. leave the solution on the surface to dissolve the dirt;
5. do a second washing with brushes and squeegee down, the suction activated and the solution solenoid
valve open.
Before any operation, make sure that all protections are well fixed.
4.7.1 PREPARING AND STARTING THE MACHINE
the operator must fill water lifting the recovery tank up and turning the cap (see detail nr. 1 in picture nr. 4.7.).
Now the operator can seat on the machine, start it and wash the surface.

4.7.2 CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Choosing the right detergent is very important for a perfect cleaning. A too strong detergent could damage
the surface. A good quality detrgent has to produce little foam. Alternatevely, the operator can add an
antifoaming additive or 50 cc of wine vinaigre in the recovery tank in order to avoid the suction motor
damage.
Make sure that the detergent is suitable for the dirty surface. FIORENTINI S.r.l. is not
responsible for damages provoked by too aggressive detergents.
4.7.3 DRIVING POSITION REGULATION
By means of the lever (see detail nr. 1 in picture nr. 4.8.) for the steering column regulation, the operator can
pull backward or push onward the steering wheel in order to have a driving position which fits his/her body.
4.7.4 RUDDER BAR FUNCTIONING
The rudder bar of this scrubber machine is composed by:
Accelerator pedal (see detail nr. 3 in picture nr. 4.9.): the machine moves forward by means of the
right pedal and backwards by means of the left pedal.
Service brake (see details nr. 1 and 2 in picture nr. 4.9.): it has to slow and stop the machine. If the
operator wants to set the service brake on, he/she has to press the service brake pedal. If he/she
wants to release the service brake, he/she has to press both the brake pedal and the release pedal
and the release knob (see detail nr. 2 in picture nr. 4.9.).

4.7.6 SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
The squeegee must be perfectly adjusted to get a perfect floor drying. ICM 42 is equipped with a V-shaped
squeegee, as shown in . This type of squeegee performs very well in collecting water from the floor to the
suction hose, but is particularly sensitive to the parallelism to the floor. Therefore, adjust first its angular
position through the screws so that its rubber blades get the same slanting on the floor along its entire width.
If blades are more pressed at their ends than in their centers, unscrew the upper screws and screw the
lower ones , then tighten the lock nuts. If, on the contrary, blades are more pressed at their centers than in
their ends, perform the opposite operation. After having reached the right angular position, adjust the
pressure. Turn the ring nut and tighten it to increase pressure to the floor, or loosen to decrease it. The right
pressure is got when the edge of the rear blade touches the floor with a slanting of approx. 60°-45° r eferring
to the floor. If the pressure is too high, the rear blade will touch the floor with its side surface, and not with its
edge. If the pressure is too low, the edge doesn’t work well and lets some water on the floor, particularly on
an uneven floor. Of course the optimal adjustment is confirmed by very good results of the drying operation,
and the operator’s experience will contribute to enhance such good results. Note that often drying is
negatively affected by a wrong suction operation. If the suction hose doesn’t work well, drying will continue to
be bad, even with all adjustments attempts. In this case:
a) accurately clean the suction hoses, their inlets and filters and the squeegee itself
b) check the vacuum motors operation
c) confirm that all inspection openings of the tank are closed.
Make sure that the two wheels of the squeegee are well regulated in order to keeps both
its blades parallel to the floor.

4.7.8 BRUSHES REPLACEMENT
The operator has to follow the instructions below to replace the brushes:
Take the ignition key away from the dashboard in order to avoid a casual starting of the machine;
Right side brush replacement: remove the case by means of the lever (see detail nr. 1 in picture nr.
4.16) and translate it outside. Translate counterclockwise the right brush and remove it;
Left side brush replacement: follow the same istructions as for right side brush replacement (see
detail 2 in picture 4.18). Translate clockwise the left brush and remove it;
To set a new brush up (see detail 3 in picture 4.17): put the coupler pins under the brush support
slots, pull the brush up and translate it (clockwise for the right brush and counterclockwise for the left
one);
Set again the brushes cases up and fix them by means of the lever.
Make sure that both cases of the lateral brushes are well fixed before starting the machine.

4.7.10 SQUEEGEE BLADES REPLACEMENT
The squeegee blades should be replaced when the contact edge becomes worn; the perfection of the edge
is essential for a perfect drying. To replace the blades, the squeegee should be removed from the machine.
To do that, lift the squeegee support in UP position, then remove the suction pipe from the squeegee ,
partially unscrew the screws . At this point, remove the squeegee from the machine and place it on a desk.
Now, remove the screws both on the front part and on the rear part of the squeegee, the steel straps , and
the three worn rubber blades as well. Perform the inverse procedure and assemble the new blades, then
adjust the squeegee.
