PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE
MOVING THE MACHINE WHEN PACKED
The machine comes in special packaging which includes a
platform for fork -lift transport. Do not place skids one on top
of the other.
The overall weight is 540Lbs.
Packing size is:
A : 60"
B : 29"
C : 52.5"
A
C B
UNPACKING THE MACHINE
Remove the box.
The machine is fixed to the skid by wheel -blocks.
Remove the wheel blocks.
Push the machine backwards off of the skid using a ramp.
Avoid hitting the brush head on the skid.
Keep the skid for future transport.

ST360_V05-2
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER
The connectors are fitted on the battery compartment. Plug the
connector of the battery charger cables into the socket on battery
compartment. The battery connector is delivered inside the bag
where you found this instruction booklet.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
The battery level indicator is operated by a microprocessor. The
LEDs display the approximate level of charge:
4 = max. charge level, 3 = ¾ charge level,
2 = ½ charge level, 1 = ¼ charge level,
0 = flat batteries (blinking light).
ATTENTION: a few seconds after the “=” is shown, the brush
motor switches off automatically. However, with the residual
charge, the floor can be dried before recharging

SQUEEGEE
The squeegee is supplied already assembled on the machine and with the
adjustments made during machine testing.
When operating the machine, the rear rubber should be slightly tilted back
5mm all along its length. you can use the squeegee on all 4 edges before
replacing it with a new one.
To adjust the squeegee blade down, just tilt back the squeegee body by
turning the knobs counter-clockwise. To adjust the squeegee blade up,
turn the knobs clock-wise. When adjustment is completed, thighen the lock-nut.
To release the squeegee from the machine, use the lever (1) and the
squeegee is immediately released from its holder. Disconnect the
suction hose and push it towards the inside of the machine to release the
opposite side.

FITTING THE DISC BRUSH
1. With the brush head lifted, centre the brush under the brush deck
2. When lowering the brush head, the brush will lock automatically.
DETERGENT SOLUTION
Fill up the solution tank with fresh water at a temperature not
exceeding 50 °C and add the liquid detergent according to the
concentrations and instructions that are provided by the
manufacturer.
NOTE: Always use low-foam detergents. To be sure to avoid any
foam formation, before starting to operate, pour a minimum quantity
of antifoaming agent into the recovery tank. Do not ever use pure
acids.
RECOVERY TANK
Make sure the vacuum unit is properly fitted and the drain hose
cap is closed.

UPON COMPLETION OF WORK
ST360_V05-2
Upon completion of work and prior to any type of maintenance
procedure, carry out the following operations:
1. Close the water valve
2. Lift the brush head
3. Lift the squeegee
4. Switch the suction motor off
5. Take the machine where you intend to drain the water out
6. Turn the key to “OFF”
Take the hose off the hook, unscrew the drain plug and empty the
recovery tank. To make this operation easier, keep the hose
higher than the tank water level with one hand and with the other
hand unscrew the knob and take off the cap. By slowly lowering the
hose, the liquid will come out at the desired speed. Do this only when
wearing protection gloves to prevent contact with dangerous
solutions.
When the machine is not operating lift the squeegee to prevent
rubber bars from losing their shape.
Release the brush and clean it with a hose (For brush release,
see the following chapter “BRUSH RELEASE”).

DAILY MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK
Empty the tank through the drain hose. Turn the knob a few turns to
unscrew it and remove the plug.
CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE
Clean the squeegee with a hose. Check for rubber blade wear
conditions and, if necessary, turn or replace them. Accurate cleaning of
the whole suction assembly ensures longer suction motor life.

MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN EFFECTIVELY
1. Check for brush wear and, if necessary, replace it (the brush should
be replaced as the bristles are about 15 mm long).
2. Use another type of brush and not the standard one. For cleaning
tasks on floors with stubborn dirt, special brushes are
recommended, which can be supplied on request according to
individual requirements.
SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY PERFECTLY

bystanders.
ST360 TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS
24 ST360_V05-2
When transporting the ST360, to prevent any damage to the machine follow these
guidelines:
1. Make sure that both the solution and recovery tanks are empty.
2. Ensure the machine is strapped down and well secured inside the trailer.
3. Remove the vacuum head to prevent any possible damage.
4. Transport the battery box and trolley separately, or put one strap around the entire
machine (from front to back) to prevent the battery box from coming loose during
transport.
5. If transporting the battery box on the trolley, lock the trolley wheels and ensure
the trolley is well secured in the trailer.
6. Ensure that the brakes on the machine are in the locked position using the locking
rod provided with the machine.
