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.
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.
Parts of the machine
The machine comprises the main parts described below (g. 1).
► The water/detergent tank (g. 1, ref. 1) contains and carries the mixture of clean water and
cleaning product.
► The dirty water tank (g. 1, ref. 2) collects the dirty water picked up from the oor after
washing;
► Control panel (g. 1, ref. 3).► Head assembly (g. 1, ref. 4), the main element comprises the brushes/rollers which dis-
tribute the detergent solution onto the oor and remove the dirt.
► Squeegee assembly (g. 1, ref. 5): wipes and dries the oor by collecting the water.

Squeegee adjustment
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 efciency 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. The angle of the blades
can be adjusted using the screw (g. 5, ref. 1), while the height of the squeegee from the oor can
be adjusted by changing the height of the two wheels (g. 6).
