TECHNICAL INFORMATION
General description
This machine is a scrubber drier for sweeping, washing and drying at, horizontal, smooth or moderately rough,
even and obstacle free oors in civil and industrial premises. It is available in both battery and cable versions to
meet all running time and weight requirements.
The scrubber drier 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 (or abrasive disks) 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 tank by the suction motor. The squeegee connected to the tank collects the dirty water.
Legend
The main parts of the machine are as follows (g. A):
► the detergent tank (g. A, ref. 1): contains and transports the mixture of clean water and detergent;
► the dirty water tank (g. A, ref. 2): collects the dirty water picked up from the oor after washing;
► control panel (g. A, ref. 3);
► head assembly (g. A, ref. 4): the main element is the brush which distributes the detergent solution on
the oor and remove the dirt;
► squeegee assembly (g. A, ref. 5): wipes and dries the oor by collecting the water.
Danger zones
► Tank assembly: when using certain detergents, danger of irritation for eyes, skin, mucous membranes
and respiratory tract and of asphyxia. Danger represented by the dirt collected from the environment
(germs and chemical substances). Danger of crushing between the two tanks when the dirty water tank
is replaced on top of the detergent tank.
► Control panel: danger of short circuit.
► Bottom of washing head: danger due to brush rotation.
► Rear wheels: danger of crushing between the wheel and chassis.
► Battery compartment (in the detergent tank): danger of short circuit between the battery poles and
presence of hydrogen during charging.
Accessories
► Bristle brushes: for washing delicate oors and polishing;
► Polypropylene brushes: for normal oor washing;
► Tynex brushes: for removing accumulated stubborn dirt on resistant oors;
► Drive disks: enable the following disks to be used:
► Yellow disks: for washing and polishing marble and similar surfaces;
► Green disks: for washing resistant oors;
► Black disks: for thorough washing of resistant oors with stubborn dirt.

Mounting and adjusting the squeegee
The squeegee (g. A, ref. 5) is responsible for the rst phase of drying.
Depending on the type of squeegee mounted on the machine, follow the instructions below to install:
Parabolic squeegee
To mount the squeegee on the machine, proceed as follows:
► check that the squeegee mount (g. E, ref. 1) is lowered, otherwise lower it by means of the squeegee
lever (g. D, ref. 2);
► rotate the machine backwards and rest the handle on the oor;
► insert the two threaded pins (g. E, rif. 12) on the squeegee into the slots on the support (g. E, ref. 1);
► x the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (g. E, ref. 2);
► insert the sleeve of the suction hose (g. E, ref. 4) fully into the squeegee;
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 height of the blade during operation by
regulating the height of the wheels positioned behind and alongside the squeegee (g. E ref. 3).
“V” squeegee
► check that the squeegee mount (g. E, ref. 6) is lowered, otherwise lower it by means of the squeegee
lever (g. D, ref. 2);
► insert the two threaded pins (g. E, ref. 13) on the squeegee into the slots on the support (g. E, ref. 6);
► x the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (g. E, ref. 7);
► insert the sleeve of the suction hose (g. E, ref. 8) fully into the squeegee;
The squeegee blades scrape the lm of water and detergent from the oor and prepare the way for perfect drying.
