TECHNICAL INFORMATION
3.1. General description
This machine is a scrubber drier for sweeping, washing and drying flat, horizontal, smooth
or moderately rough, even and obstacle free floors in civil and industrial premises.
The scrubber drier spreads a solution of water and detergent in the correct concentration
on the floor 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 floor and dirt.
A suction system incorporated in the machine dries the floor after washing by means of
the low pressure generated in the dirty water drum by the suction motor. The squeegee
connected to the drum collects the dirty water.
The machine moves forward by means of a special electromechanical drive device.
3.2. Legend
The main parts of the machine are as follows (fig. 2):
• detergent tank (fig. 2, ref. 3): contains and transports the mixture of clean water and
cleaning product;
• the dirty water drum (fig. 2, ref. 2): collects the dirty water picked up from the floor after
washing;
• control panel (fig. 2, ref. 1);
• head assembly (fig. 2, ref. 4): the main element is the brushes (fig. 2, ref. 5) which
distribute the detergent solution on the floor and remove the dirt;
• squeegee assembly (fig. 2, ref. 6): wipes and dries the floor by collecting the water.
3.3. Danger zones
A - 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 drum is replaced on top of the
detergent tank.
B -Control panel danger of short circuit.

Page 13
ENGLISH
13
turns the suction motor on. When the accelerator is released, the machine, brushes
and suction motor stop.
• Detergent tank level indicator (fig. 5, ref. 6): the LED comes on when there is no
longer sufficient water in the detergent tank.
• Dirty water drum level indicator (fig. 5, ref. 7): when the dirty water drum is full the
LED comes on and after a few seconds the suction motor shuts down.
• Display: displays active alarms and menus. During normal operation, it displays the
hour counter (giving the actual number of hours the machine has been operating).
• Direction selector (fig. 5, ref. 8): move this selector to set movement of the machine
to forwards or reverse
• Alarm indicator (fig. 5, ref. 9), depending on the frequency the LEDs come on,
defines the electronic board error code (see chapter 10). When operating without
malfunction, the LED is on steadily.
• Speed control potentiometer (fig. 5, ref. 10): turning the potentiometer sets machine
speed.
• Brush pressure variation/brush-microfibre release button (fig. 5, ref. 11) - MICRO
SCRUB/ECS models, button with dual function:
• Pressing the button briefly modifies the pressure of the brushes/microfibre on the
surface to be cleaned. LEDs come on to indicate the pressure.
• When the brush and suction motor commands are disabled (LEDs off) and the
button is held down for at least 5 seconds, the machine performs the automatic
brush release manoeuvre.
• Brush pressure light (fig. 5, ref. 12 - MICRO SCRUB/ECS models): consists of 4
green LEDs indicating the pressure of the brush/microfibre on the surface to be
cleaned.
• Service/parking brake (fig. 6, ref. 2): operating the lever stops the machine. To put
the parking brake on, pull the lever then block it.
• Horn (fig. 6, ref. 3): acoustic warning.
i INFORMATION
The seat (fig. 2, ref. 7) has a safety sensor which allows the machine to move only
when the operator is seated.
6.2. Mounting and adjusting the squeegee
The squeegee (fig. 2, ref. 6) is responsible for the first phase of drying.
To mount the squeegee on the machine, proceed as follows:
• make sure the squeegee mount (fig. 7, ref. 2) is raised;
• insert the suction hose sleeve (fig. 7, ref. 4) fully into the squeegee;
• slacken the two knobs (fig. 7, ref. 3) at the centre of the squeegee;
• insert the two threaded pins into the slots on the support (fig. 7, ref. 2);
• fix the squeegee by tightening the two knobs (fig. 7, ref. 3).
• The squeegee blades scrape the film of water and detergent from the floor and
prepare the way for perfect drying. With time, the constant rubbing makes the edge
of the blade in contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying
efficiency 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 floor at every point.
Adjust the angle of the blade during operation by regulating the height of the two
wheels positioned behind the squeegee (fig. 7 ref. 1).

15
concentrations. Do not use solvents or hydrocarbons. The temperature of the
water and detergent must not exceed the maximum indicated in the technical
specification. They must be free of sand and/or other impurities.
The machine has been designed for use with low-foam biodegradable detergents made
specifically for scrubber driers.
For a complete and up-to-date list of the detergents and chemicals available, contact the
Manufacturer.
Use products suitable for the floor and dirt to be removed only.
Follow the safety regulations on use of detergents given in the section "Safety
regulations".
6.6. Preparing the machine for work
IMPORTANT
Before starting work, wear overalls, ear protectors, non-slip waterproof shoes,
mask to protect the respiratory tract, gloves and all other personal protection
devices recommended by the supplier of the detergent used or necessitated by the
work environment.
Before starting work, proceed as follows:
• check the battery charge (recharge if necessary);
• make sure the dirty water drum (fig. 2, ref. 2) is empty. If necessary, empty it;
• via the opening at the front, fill the detergent tank (fig. 2, ref. 3) with a suitable
concentration of clean water and low-foam detergent. Leave at least 5 cm between the
surface of the liquid and the opening of the tank;
• if the machine is fitted with the optional CHEM DOSE accessory, remove the cap (fig.
3, ref. 1) and fill the tank with appropriately diluted low-foam detergent.
• mount the most suitable brushes or drive disks for the floor and work to be performed
(see paragraph 3.4);
• make sure the squeegee (fig. 2, ref. 6) is firmly attached and connected to the suction
hose (fig. 7, ref. 4). Make sure the back blade is not worn.
• Adjust the height of the control panel support by pressing the locking lever (fig. 14, ref.
1) and with the other hand raise the mount support. When the device has been
released, raise or lower the support into the desired position.
i INFORMATION
If you are using the machine for the first time, we recommend trying it on a large
obstacle-free surface first to acquire the necessary familiarity.
Always empty the dirty water drum before filling the detergent tank again.
For effective cleaning and to extend the working life of the machine, follow a few simple
rules:
• prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles;
• begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just
cleaned;
• choose the straightest possible working routes;
• divide large floors into parallel rectangular sections.
If necessary, finish off by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the
scrubber drier.
6.7. Working
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows:
• start the machine by turning the key clockwise (fig. 5, ref. 1).
• pressing the brush button (LED on) (fig. 5, ref. 4) enables operation of the head and
suction motor. If the machine is set to also operate using the MICRO SCRUB/ECS
Page 16
ENGLISH
16
system, select the most suitable operating mode (BRUSH/PAD mode with
brush/abrasive disk or MICROFIBRE mode with microfibre disk) by holding the brush
button down for at least 5 seconds;
• holding the detergent flow regulation button (fig. 5, ref. 5) down for at least 2 seconds
enables/disables the flow of detergent. On this machine, detergent flow can be
regulated manually by repeatedly pressing the detergent flow regulation button (fig. 5,
ref. 5), or automatically. In automatic mode, the machine automatically regulates the
flow in proportion to the speed of the machine. LEDs light up to indicate the quantity
delivered.

• press the brush button (fig. 5, ref. 4) once to access the water regulation menu.
“MAN” or “AUT” appears on the display.
• press the suction button repeatedly (fig. 5, ref. 3) to select “MAN” (manual) or “AUT”
(automatic) operation.
• memorise the displayed parameter by pressing the emergency button (fig. 5 ref. 3).
• operate the accelerator (fig. 6, ref. 1) to move forwards or backwards (see paragraph
6.3)
• periodically check that the detergent is reaching the brushes/rollers and refill when it
runs out. When there is no longer sufficient water in the detergent tank, the level
indicator lights up (fig. 5, ref. 6). Stop and fill the tank;
• If the machine is fitted with the optional CHEM DOSE accessory, press the button (fig.
3, ref. 2) to turn the device on, then adjust the detergent mixture to send to the brushes
using the regulation screw (fig. 3, ref. 3). The quantity can be adjusted from 0.5% to
3% per litre of water.
• while working, check the quality of washing and adjust the flow of detergent reaching
the brushes.
• BRUSH/MICROFIBRE PRESSURE ON THE WORK SURFACE: if the machine is set
to also operate with the MICRO SCRUB/ECS system, briefly pressing the button (fig.
5, ref. 11) modifies the pressure of the brushes/microfibre on the surface to be cleaned
(indicated by LEDs) (fig. 5, ref. 12).
IMPORTANT
Empty the dirty water drum each time you fill the detergent tank.
• when the dirty water drum is full, the level indicator comes on (fig. 5, ref. 7) and after a
few seconds the suction motor shuts down. To restart the suction motor you must turn
the suction switch (fig. 5, ref. 3) off then on again.
• if the red indicator light (fig. 5, ref. 2) starts flashing, it means the batteries are almost
flat. After a few seconds the brushes shut down to prevent excessive discharge of the
batteries. Recharge.
At the end of work:
• release the accelerator (fig. 6, ref. 1);
• stop detergent flow by pressing the button (fig. 5, ref. 5) for at least 2 seconds (LED

• disconnect the batteries;
• empty and clean the dirty water drum.
6.8. Some useful tips to get the most from your scrubber drier
•
In the event of particularly stubborn dirt on the floor, washing and drying can be
performed in two separate operations.
6.8.1. Prewashing with brushes or pads
• adjust the detergent flow (fig. 5, ref. 5);
• press the brush button (fig. 5, ref. 4) (LED on);
• stop the suction motor by pressing the button (fig. 5, ref. 3) (LED off);
• begin washing.
The flow 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
effective mechanical action.
6.8.2. Drying
Turn the suction motor on by pressing the button (fig. 5, ref. 3), then pass over the same
area washed previously. The result is equivalent to in-depth washing and subsequent
ordinary maintenance will take less time.
6.9. Draining the dirty water
! DANGER
Use suitable personal protection devices.
Drain the water with the machine disconnected from the power supply.
The dirty water drum drain hose is at the back left side of the machine.
To empty the drum:
• move the machine near a drain;
• detach the drain hose (fig. 9, ref. 2) from its seat by holding it near the fixing spring (fig.
9, ref. 3) and pulling horizontally;
• keeping the hose end as high as possible, unscrew and remove the cap (fig. 9, ref. 4);
• lower the hose end gradually, controlling the intensity of the flow of water by adjusting
the height from the ground;
• 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;
• when the dirty water has been totally drained, lower the dirty water drum (if previously
lifted);
• close the drain hose (fig. 9, ref. 4) by replacing the cap (fig. fig. 9, ref. 2), check that it is
tightly closed and replace the hose in its housing.
IMPORTANT
When washing the dirty water drum, never remove the suction filter (fig. 11, ref. 2)
from its housing and never direct the jet of water against the filter itself.
You are then ready to wash and dry again.
6.10. Draining the clean water
! DANGER
Use suitable personal protection devices.
Drain the water with the machine disconnected from the power supply.
Page 18
ENGLISH
18
To empty the tank:
• move the machine near a drain;
• remove the cap (fig. 10, ref. 1);
• when the detergent tank is completely empty, replace the cap (fig. 10, ref. 1).
i INFORMATION
The water and detergent solution can also be used to wash the dirty water drum.
7.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
If the machine is not used for some time, remove the squeegee, brushes/microfibre disks
and drive disks, wash them and put them away in a dry place (preferably in a bag or
wrapped in plastic film) away from dust. Park the machine with the parking brake on.
Make sure the tanks are completely empty and perfectly clean.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
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.
IMPORTANT
If you do not charge the batteries regularly, they may be irrevocably damaged.
8.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CHARGING
! DANGER
Do not check the battery by sparking.
The batteries give off flammable fumes. Put out all fires and hot embers before
checking or topping up the batteries.
Perform the operations described above in a ventilated room.
To avoid permanent damage to the batteries, do not run them down completely.
Remember that when the corresponding red LED (fig. 5, ref. 2) flashes on the control
panel, you must charge the batteries.
8.1. Recharging procedure
• connect the battery charger connector to the battery wiring connector (fig. 12, ref. 1);

Motor drive alarm board
If drive is interrupted, the error code should be identified by means of the status LED (fig. 6, ref. 16).
In the absence of malfunctions, the status LED is steadily on while the machine is in operation. If a
malfunction is detected, the status LED provides two types of information, a slow flash (2 Hz) or a
rapid flash (4 Hz) to indicate the severity of the malfunction.
Malfunctions with a slow flash are cancelled automatically once the malfunction has been repaired
and the machine functions normally again. Malfunctions with a rapid flash ("*" in the table) are
considered more serious. The machine must be turned of using the key switch (fig. 6 ref. 14) to
reset operation after repairing the malfunction.
The indication of severity remains active for 10 seconds, after which the status LED flashes
constantly showing a two digit malfunction code until the repairs have been carried out.
For example, error code "1,4" is displayed as follows:
