Recovery System
Functional Description
The water recovery system removes the dirty water from the oor and pipes it to a recovery tank. When the
machine is running, the dirty water on the oor is collected by the squeegee blades and collected through the
slots in the same, piped through the vacuum hose and into the tank by the airow created by vacuum motor
(M2). The dirty water is piped into the recovery tank, while the airow continues to the vacuum fan.
The vacuum system motor (M2) is supplied by the vacuum system motor relay (K2) which is driven by the
program selection knob/rotary switch (SW1) when it is turned to 1 or 3. The circuit is protected by the vacuum

Scrub System, Disc
Functional Description
The disc brush system can be started by the operator.
The disc brush turns counter-clockwise.
The brush system, when turning, cleans/washes the oor surface and assists machine forward movement.
The deck, where brushes suitable for cleaning the particular type of oor are installed, is the main part of the
scrub system. The brush deck is xed and integrated in the machine with a support bracket. The adjusting sys-
tems adjusts the forward speed, while the handwheel on the deck adjusts the machine straight-forward drive.
The brush working pressure is functional to the machine designed balance.
The brush motor (M1) is supplied by vacuum brush motor relay (K1) which is driven by the program selection
knob/rotary switch (SW1) when it is turned to 1, 2 or 3, and the machine start-up enabling push-button (SW2)
is pressed. The circuit is protected by the brush motor fuse (F1).
The system, once activated, uses the solution coming form the solution system, to wash the oor.
To work properly, the brush motor needs the following:
• Program selection knob/rotary switch (SW1) turned to 1, 2 or 3
• Charged batteries (the red LED must not be ashing).
• Battery charger is completing path to battery negative for B2
When necessary, to use the squeegee in the opposite direction, pry on the handlebar and slightly lift the deck
while the brush is turning. The rubber pads mounted into the deck allow the mechanical rotation by creating
friction on the rotating brush. When the deck is turned by 180° start to scrub/dry by drawing the machine.
To resume working in the normal forward direction, push the machine forward until the brush deck returns
to the original position.

Solution System
Functional Description
The solution system supplies the detergent to the brush when cleaning the oor. The solution tank is also the
main machine body. There is a manual valve on the left side of the tank to close the water supply whenever
maintenance must be performed on the machine.
The detergent quantity is adjusted by the operator with the solution ow switch (SW3). The solution ows
from the tank to the tap, through the lter and solenoid valve (EV) and then to the brush deck.
The solenoid valve (EV) is driven by the program selection knob/rotary switch (SW1) when it is turned to 1 or
2, and the machine start-up enabling push-button (SW2).
When the solution ow switch (SW3) is open the solenoid valve (EV) is driven by solenoid valve timer (KT1)
(2 sec. ON - 2 sec. OFF). When the solution ow switch (SW3) is closed the solenoid valve (EV) is always on
(by-pass the solenoid valve timer).
