ON CONSIGNMENT OF THE MACHINE

When the machine is consigned to the customer, an immediate check must be performed tonsure all the material mentioned in
the shipping documents have been received and moreover to find out that the machine hasn’t 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 informs 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 mechanic abrasive action of two rotary brushes and the chemical action of
a water-detergent solution, is able to clean any type of floor. During its advance movement, it picks up the removed dirt and
the detergent solution, which has not been absorbed by 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 you to 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 all such advice and servicing as
may prove necessary.

INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERIES INTO THE MACHINE

Figure 4
The batteries are fitted in the appropriate compartment under the seat
and under the recovery tank and must be handled by using
appropriate 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 recharge of
the batteries, it is necessary to follow strictly all the instructions given
by the manufacturer or from his dealer. Specialized staff must carry
out all the installation and maintenance operations.

For battery installation:

1. Lift the base support of the seat.

2. Lean the seat on to the steering wheel

3. Rotate back the recovery tank towards the rear until it locks in
place.

4. Put the batteries into position and connect the battery cables.

Figure 6

5. Unfasten the support and put the recovery tank into its working
position

6. Lower the base support of the seat.

CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER

Figure 7

1. Raise the seat base support.

2. Disconnect the machine connector from the battery connector.

3. Connect the battery charger directly to the battery connector.
The coupling connector of the battery charger is delivered in the
bag where this instruction booklet is found and must be
assembled on the battery charger cables following the suitable
instructions (see instruction booklet of the battery charger).

ATTENTION: this operation must be carried out by specialized staff.
A wrong or defective connection of the cables to the connector may
cause serious damages to people or things.

RECHARGE OF THE BATTERIES

Figure 8
Make sure that the battery charger fits the installed batteries either for
capacity or for type (lead/acid or GEL and equivalents).

ATTENTION: never charge a GEL battery with an unsuitable battery
charger. Carefully follow the instructions given by the manufacturer
of batteries and battery charger. To prevent permanent damage to the
batteries, avoid their complete discharge and effect recharging within
a few minutes after that the signal lamp of discharged batteries begins
to blink.

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. After every 20 recharging operations,

check the level of the electrolyte and, if necessary, top off with
distilled water.

LEVEL INDICATOR FOR THE CHARGE OF
THEBATTERIES

Figure 9
The batteries’ indicator is digital with 4 fixed positions and a blinking
one. The numbers which appear on the display show the approximate
charge level.4 = maximum charge, 3 = charge 3/4,2 = charge 2/4, 1
= charge 1/4,0 = (blinking) discharged batteries .

ATTENTION: A few seconds after the meter reads “0” it will start
blinking; the brush motor will then automatically switch off. Anyway,
the machine can finish to dry before recharging the batteries.

SQUEEGEE

Figure 10
The squeegee, which is packed separately from the machine, should
be installed onto the machine as shown in the figure. Insert the stud
bolts on the squeegee (1) into the proper slotted hole in the support
frame. Install the hair pin (2) into the stud bolthole. Fit the suction
hose (3) into its coupling and fix it with the appropriate clamp.

Figure 11
During operation, the rear rubber has to work slightly tilted
backwards and this equally in its whole length for about 5 mm. This
allows using the squeegee four times before it has to be replaced.

Figure 12
If it is necessary to increase the rubber bending in the central part, tilt
the squeegee body backwards, loosen the adjuster nut (1) and rotate
the knob (2) counter-clockwise. If the rubber bending is to be
noticeable at the sides of the squeegee, loosen the adjuster nut (1) and
rotate the knob (2) clockwise. After regulations have been done fix
the adjuster nut.

ADJUSTMENT HEIGHT SQUEEGEE SUPPORT

Figure 13
The squeegee has to be regulated in height depending on the wearing
of the rubbers. To adjust this it is necessary to act on the knobs
(1):

- By rotating clockwise the squeegee raises;

- By rotating counter-clockwise the squeegee lowers. It is
important that the right and left little wheels are set at the same
height, only in this way the squeegee can work parallel to the
floor.

ASSEMBLY OF WASHING OR WASHING/SCRUBBINGUNIT

Figure 14
The machine is supplied as a base unit. Their are two different
washing units available, to be chosen according to the type of floor
and its conditions:

1. Washing unit with brushes. Suitable for all types of floor, and
used for routine maintenance scrubbing. Also can be used for
aggressive scrubbing, cleaning, and stripping by increasing
pressure.

2. Washing & sweeping unit with cylindrical brooms. Suitable for
rough, uneven, and grouted surfaces. Will scrub and sweep
debris in one pass and collect the solid debris into a hopper
without obstructing the squeegee rubbers.

WASHING UNIT ASSEMBLY (brushes)
Figure 15

1. Loosen the knobs (1) from the horizontal pins on the left side of
the units and rotate them outwards.

2. Position the base under the machine into the proper controls (2)

3. Rotate the knobs toward the inner part of the base and stop
them.

4. Connect the quick water coupling (3).

ADJUSTMENT HEIGHT SPLASH GUARDSRUBBERS OF
THE WASHING UNIT

Figure 16
During working operation the base splashguards rubbers must skim
over the floor.

1. To vary the height of the support, and therefore of the
splashguards rubbers, the horizontal knobs (1) must be screwed
or unscrewed.

2. After regulating correctly the rubber height, stop the knobs.

BRUSHES ASSEMBLY

Figure 17

1. Connect the battery connector.

2. Turn the key switch to the ON position.

3. With the switch raise the base.

4. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and remove key from
the instrument panel.

ATTENTION: To carry out the brush assembly operation with the
current connected could cause serious damage to machine and
persons.

Figure 18

5. With the brush base in UP 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.

ATTENTION: use gloves to protect your hands when performing the
steps listed above.

Figure 19

6. It is recommended to invert 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, its 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 excessive vibrations.
