The SC400 is a “man-down” industrial machine designed to wash and dry oors, in civil or industrial environments, in one pass. The machine is powered by on-board batteries. The machine is equipped with a single
disc brush, a controlled solution ow dosing system and a rear squeegee with blades, which dries the oor by
vacuuming the dirty water.
Service Manual Purpose and Field of Application
The Service Manual is a technical resource intended to help service technicians when carrying out mainte-
nance and repairs on the SC400, to guarantee the best cleaning performance and a long working life for the
machine.
Please read this manual carefully before performing any maintenance and repair procedure on the machine.
Forward, backward, front, rear, left or right are intended with reference to the operator’s position, that is to
say in driving position with the hands on the handlebar.
Service and Spare Parts
Service and repairs must be performed only by authorised personnel or Nilsk Service Centers. The authorised
personnel is trained directly at the manufacturer’s premises and has original spare parts and accessories.

General Instructions
Specic warnings and cautions to inform about potential damages to people and machine are shown below.
Warning! Make sure to follow the safety precautions to avoid situations that may lead to
serious injuries.
– Before performing any cleaning, maintenance, repair or replacement procedure, turn the pro-
gram selection knob to “0” and disconnect the battery connector.
– This machine must be used by properly trained operators only.
– Do not wear jewels when working near electrical components.
– Do not work under the lifted machine, if it is not securely xed.
– Do not operate the machine near toxic, dangerous, ammable and/or explosive powders, liquids
or vapors. This machine is not suitable for collecting dangerous powders.
– (For WET batteries only). Keep the battery away from sparks, ames and incandescent material.
During the normal operation explosive gases are released.
– (For WET batteries only). Battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Keep the
battery cover open during battery charging and perform this procedure in well-ventilated areas
and away from naked ames.
Service Manual – SC400
Caution! Make sure to follow the safety precautions to avoid situations that may lead to
– Carefully read all the instructions before performing any maintenance/repair procedure.
– Before using the battery charger, ensure that frequency and voltage values, indicated on the
machine serial number plate, match the mains voltage.
– Do not pull or carry the machine by the battery charger cable and never use the battery charger
cable as a handle. Do not close a door on the battery charger cable, or pull the battery charger
cable around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine on the battery charger cable.
– To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury, do not leave the machine unattended when it
is plugged in.
– Keep the battery charger cable away from heated surfaces.
– Before performing any maintenance procedure, disconnect the battery charger cable from the

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
– Close attention is necessary when used near children.
– Use only as shown in this Manual. Use only Nilsk’s recommended accessories.
– Check the machine carefully before each use, always check that all the components have been as-
sembled before use. If the machine is not perfectly assembled it can cause damages to people and
properties.
– Take all necessary precautions to prevent hair, jewels and loose clothes from being caught by the
machine moving parts.
– Do not use the machine on slopes with a gradient exceeding the specications.
– Do not use the machine on incline.
– Do not tilt the machine more than the angle indicated on the machine itself, in order to prevent
instability.
– Do not use the machine in particularly dusty areas.
– Use the machine only where a proper lighting is provided.
– While using this machine, take care not to cause damage to people or objects.
– Do not bump into shelves or scaffoldings, especially where there is a risk of falling objects.
– Do not lean liquid containers on the machine, use the relevant can holder.
– The machine working temperature must be between 0°C and +40°C.
– The storage temperature must be between 0°C and +40°C.
– The humidity must be between 30% and 95%.
– When using oor cleaning detergents, follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent
bottles.
– To handle oor cleaning detergents, wear suitable gloves and protections.
– Do not use the machine as a means of transport; do not push/tow it.
– Do not allow the brush to operate while the machine is stationary to avoid damaging the oor.
– In case of re, use a powder re extinguisher, not a water one.
– Do not tamper with the machine safety guards and follow the ordinary maintenance instructions
scrupulously.
– Do not allow any object to enter into the openings. Do not use the machine if the openings are
clogged. Always keep the openings free from dust, hairs and any other foreign material which
could reduce the air ow.
– Do not remove or modify the plates afxed to the machine.
– This machine cannot be used on roads or public streets.
– Pay attention during machine transportation when temperature is below freezing point. The
water in the recovery tank or in the hoses could freeze and seriously damage the machine.
serious injuries, damages to materials or equipments.

Service Manual – SC400
– Use only brushes supplied with the machine or those specied in the User Manual. Using other
brushes could reduce safety.
– If parts must be replaced, require ORIGINAL spare parts from an Authorised Dealer or Retailer.
– Do not wash the machine with direct or pressurised water jets, or with corrosive substances.
– The machine must be disposed of properly, because of the presence of toxic-harmful materials
(batteries, oils, etc.), which are subject to standards that require disposal in special centres (see
the User Manual).
– (For WET batteries only). When lead (WET) batteries are installed on the machine, do not tilt
the machine for more than 30° from the horizontal plane to prevent the highly corrosive acid
from leaking out of the batteries. If the machine must be tilted to perform any maintenance pro-
Warning! Before transporting the machine, make sure that:
All covers are closed.
The recovery tank and the detergent tank are empty.
The batteries are disconnected.
The machine is securely fastened to the means of transport.
