On delivery of the machine

When the machine is delivered to the customer, an immediate check must be performed to ensure all the material mentioned in the shipping documents have been received and moreover to find out that the machine has not suffered damage during transportation. If damage has occurred, get the shipping agent to verify immediately the amount and nature of the damage suffered and at the same time inform our claim department. It is only by prompt action of this type that compensation for damage may be successfully claimed.

Introduction

This is a floor cleaning machine which, using the mechanical abrasive action of two cylindrical brushes and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution, is able to clean any type of hard floor, picking up during its forward movement, the removed dirt / detergent solution from the floor. The machine must be used only for such purpose. We would impress upon you that any machine will function efficiently and operate successfully, only if used correctly and maintained in fully efficient working order. We therefore suggest that you read this instruction booklet carefully and re-read it whenever difficulties arise in the course of machine use. Our service department is at your disposal for such advice and servicing as may prove necessary.

2. The machine is fixed on the pallet with wooden wedges which block

the wheels

3. Remove these wedges

Figure 3

4. Use a ramp to get the machine down from the pallet, pushing it in reverse motion. Avoid violent blows to the base.

5. Keep the pallet in case of further transport needs

MACHINE PREPARATION

3. INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERIES INTO THE MACHINE

Figure 4 The batteries are fitted in the appropriate compartment under the seat and must be handled by using lifting equipment suitable both for the weight and for the coupler system. They must moreover satisfy the requirements quoted in the Specification CEI 21-5. For maintenance and daily recharging of the batteries, it is necessary to follow strictly all the indstructions given by the manufacturer or from his dealer. Specialized staff must carry out all the installation and maintenance operations.

Figure 5 In order to insert the batteries it is necessary to:

1. Lift the seat support

2. Extract the prop from its slot

3. Lean the seat on the steering wheel

4. Insert the batteries

Figure 6

5. Lower the base support of the seat being careful to have at first refastened the tie.

4. CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CONNECTOR

Figure 7 The battery connector (1) is placed in the left lower part of the operators seat and must be connected to the connector (2) of the machine.

MACHINE PREPARATION

5. CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER

The connector is placed in the left lower part of the operator seat. The upper part (1), which is connected to the batteries, is the one which has to be inserted to the connector (2) fixed to the cables of the battery charger. The coupling connector of the battery charger is delivered in the bag (together with this instruction booklet ) and must be assembled on the battery charger cables following the provided instructions (see instructions booklet for the battery charger).

6. RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

Figure 8 To ensure no permanent damage to the battery it is essential to avoid complete discharge by arranging to recharge as soon as the blinking signal indicating the discharged batteries switches on. NOTE: Never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not being used.

When recharging the batteries, keep the base support of the seat lifted. Every 20 recharging operations, check the level of the electrolyte

and, if necessary, top up with distilled water.

7. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR

Figure 9 The digital battery signal has 4 fixed positions and a blinking one. The numbers which appear in the display show the approximate charge level. 4 = maximum charge, 3 = ¾ charge, 2 = ½ charge, 1 = ¼ charge, 0 = discharged batteries (blinking)

ATTENTION: A few seconds after the appearance of the blinking “0” the brush motor automatically switches off. With the rest of the charge it is possible to finish any drying operation before starting the recharge.

MACHINE PREPARATION

8. SQUEEGEE

Figure 10 The squeegee, which for packing reasons is delivered separated from the machine, must be assembled as indicated in the drawing by hooking the stud bolts (1-MAGNA

85) of the squeegee into their seat on the squeegee support fixing them with a key

CH17. Insert the suction hose (2) with its coupling and fix it with the appropriate clamp.

9. ASSEMBLY; SIDE BARS 85S-100S

Figure 11 The side-bars are already fixed to the front part, but it is necessary to place the back part. Therefore proceed as follows:

1. Insert the back part of the side bar into the pin of the squeegee

2. Insert the fixing clip

3. Repeat the same operations for the second side bar

Figure 12 During working operation, the rear rubber should tilt backwards slightly and equally along its whole length by about 5 mm. This allows for all four leading edges of the squeegee to be used before it neds to be replaced.

Figure 13 If it is necessary to increase the rubber deflection in the central part, tilt the squeegee body backwards, loosen the adjuster nut (1) and rotate the knob (2) counter-clockwise. If the rubber deflection is to be noticeable at the sides of the squeegee, loosen the adjuster nut (1) and rotate the knob (2) clockwise. After regulations are completed tighten the adjuster nut.

MACHINE PREPARATION

10. ADJUSTMENT; SQEEGEE HEIGHT SUPPORT

Figure 14 The squeegee has to be regulated in height depending on the wear on the rubbers. To adjust this: Loosen the ring nut (1) With a key CH17 rotate the castor wheel through the nut (2) clockwise to lift the squeegee and counter-clockwise to lower it Fix the ring nut (1) NOTE: The right and left castor wheels should be regulated equally.

MACHINE PREPARATION

11. BRUSHES ASSEMBLY; MAGNA 85-100

Magna 85/100

Figure 15

1. Connect the battery connector

2. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position

3. With the manipulator lift the brushes base

4. Turn the key to the ‘OFF’ position and remove it from the instrument board (to carry out the operations of brushes assembly with connected current can cause injury).

1 3

Figure 16

5. With the brushes base in lifted position, insert the brushes into the seat of the plate under the base until the three buttons fit into the holes of the plate. Turn the brush so that the buttons are pushed towards their retaining springs until the brush is clamped in place. The figure shows the direction of rotation for the coupling of the right brush. The left brush has to be rotated inversely.

Figure 17

6. It is recommended to change daily the position of the right brush with the left one and vice versa. If the brushes are not new and they show deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position (the right to the right side and the left to the left side), to avoid that the different inclination of the bristles causes an overload to the brushes motor and /or excessive vibrations.

MACHINE PREPARATION

12. SOLUTION WATER

Figure 18 Fill the solution tank with clean water at a temperature not more than 50°C and add liquid detergent in the proper concentration following the instructions of the manufacturer. Excess foam in the recovery tank could damage the suction motor, so use only the minimum amount of detergent necessary. NOTE: Always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid into the recovery tank.

Never use pure acid.

13. RECOVERY TANK

Figure 19 Check that the hopper (2) is closed properly,

Figure 20 and that the exhaust plug of the tank is closed

Figure 21 and the plug of the exhaust hose is closed.

Figure 27

Press the accelerator pedal. The machine begins to move, the squeegee begins to lower itself and the suction motor comes on. During the first few metres of operating, check that the brush pressure is suitable (see further on under “BRUSH PRESSURE”), that the quantity of detergent solution is sufficient and that the squeegee dries perfectly. The machine will now start to work efficiently until the detergent solution runs out.

Figure 28

Immediately disconnect the emergency lever (1) situated on the left side from the operator and apply the emergency brake (2), whenever problems occur during work. These commands disconnect all the functions on the machine. To start the

machine again, once the problem has been solved, turn off the key (3), reconnect the connector (1), switch on the key (3) and lower the parking brake lever (2).

Figure 29 The machine will not start if the operator is not properly seated. When the solution tank is empty, the signal lamp on the instrument board comes on. When the recovery tank is full, the suction motor stops. To start it up again, even if the tank has been emptied, it is necessary to first turn off the main switch key and then on again.

PERFORMANCE

CHECK MOTOR BRUSHES

Figure 30 The brushes motor is electronically controlled. If it reaches established overload limits, the red signal lamp (1) on the instrument board starts to blink. After a few seconds the motor stops and the signal lamp of the brushes switch goes off. To start up the motor again, turn the main switch key (2) off and on again. If the motor stops again, check the reason of the overload to prevent motor damage. Generally, it is enough to reduce the brushes pressure.

BRUSH PRESSURE

Figure 31 It is possible to adjust the brush pressure using the proper lever (1) placed on the left side of the operator. To increase the pressure, push the lever downwards. The pressure must be chosen based on the type of floor and the type of dirt. Excessive pressure causes higher brushes wear and a major energy consumption (for further information read on “CHOICE AND USE OF BRUSHES”)

TRACTION

Figure 32 These machines are equipped with electronically commanded traction, with three speeds forwards and one backwards. To move the machine, it is necessary to turn the key and then move forwards (forward movement) or backwards (rear movement) the manipulator (1). Press the drive pedal and the machine will start to move. The movement speed can be adjusted rotating the selector (2) also when the machine is in motion.

Figure 33 NOTE: During reverse motion, if the switch automatic-manual of the squeegee is in ‘manual’ position (1), remember to lift the squeegee through the commutator (2). During transfer, put the switch onto manual.

PERFORMANCE

SQUEEGEE; AUTOMATIC – MANUAL

Figure 34 Automatic: If the switch is placed on automatic, lowering of the squeegee is obtained

with the machine advancement. Also, lifting of the squeegee is achieved with the reverse motion of the machine. Manual: If the switch is placed on manual, the squeegee has to be lifted and lowered manually through the commutator (2).

The operation of the suction motor is independent from the squeegee position and it is controlled only by the suction switch.

4. Clean the solution filter

THE MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN SATISFACTORILY

1. Check the conditions of the brushes and replace them, if necessary. The cylindrical brushes have to be replaced when the bristles reach around 15 mm for Magna 85/100 and 10 mm for Magna85S/100S).

2. Check that the pressure on the cylindrical brushes is sufficient, eventually increase it (see “PRESSURE CYLINDRICAL BRUSHES” under “PERFORMANCE”).

3. Use different kind of brushes to the ones fitted as standard. For cleaning operations on floors where the dirt proves to be particularly resistant, we recommend using special brushes which may be supplied optionally according to needs (see under “CHOICE AND USE OF BRUSHES”).

THE SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY PERFECTLY

1. Check that the squeegee is clean

2. Check the squeegee adjustments (see under “MACHINE PREPARATION”)

3. Clean the whole suction group (see under “WEEKLY MAINTENANCE”)

4. Replace the rubbers, if worn

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

THE SUCTION MOTOR DOES NOT FUNCTION

Figure 64

1. Check that the suction motor switch is on

2. Check whether the recovery tank is full and eventually empty it

Figure 65

3. Check the perfect condition of the float switch (see also “CLEANING OF THE RECOVERY TANK FILTER” under “DAILY MAINTENANCE”)

4. To reactivate the suction motor, after operation of the float switch, switch off and then on again the main switch key.

THE MACHINE DOES NOT START

Figure 66

1. The operator must be properly seated in the driving position

2. Check that the hand brake lever is completely released

3. Check that the general switch key is In the ‘ON’ position

4. Check that the connector is connected to the batteries

EXCESSIVE FOAM PRODUCTION

Check that a low foam detergent has been used. If required, add a small quantity of antifoam liquid into the recovery tank. Remember that, when the floor is not very dirty, more foam is generated. In this case dilute the detergent further.

CHOICE AND USE OF BRUSHES

POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)

It is used on all types of floors which are hot water resistant (not more than 60°C). The Polypropylene brush is non-hygroscopic and therefore conserves its characteristics even if working in wet conditions.

NYLON BRUSH

It is used on all types of floors with excellent wear and hot water resistance (more than 60°C). The nylon is hygroscopic and so, over time, looses its characteristics working on the wet.

TYNEX BRUSH

The brush bristles are charged with very aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty floors. To avoid floor damages, work strictly only with the necessary pressure.

STEEL BRUSHES

Bristles are made of steel wire or flat blades or are mixed steel and synthetic fibres. The steel wire brush is used to remove scale from badly uneven floors or floors with wide joints between tiles. Brushes with flat steel bristles (stiffer) are used to clean the toughest scale.

THICKNESS OF THE BRISTLES

The thicker the bristles are, the more rigid they will be. These ones are therefore used on smooth floors or with small joints. On uneven floors with deep joints it is recommended that, softer bristles, which enter more easily in depth, be used. Please bear in mind that, when the bristles are worn out and get too short, they will get rigid and cannot penetrate anymore. As well as for thick bristles, the brush will begin to jump.

PAD HOLDER

The pad holder is recommended to clean glossy areas. There are two types of pad holders:

1. The traditional pad holder is equipped with anchor points which allow the abrasive pad to be held and dragged during the

work process.

2. The pad holder is of the CENTER LOCK type, apart from the anchor points, is equipped with a central locking release system

made of plastic. This allows a perfect match with the abrasive pad and to hold it without the risk of falling down. This type of pad holder is recommended especially for machines with more brushes, where the centreing of the pads is difficult.
