you with its handle dismantled. Ensure that the listed
parts are present as shown and identify them in order
to understand the assembly instructions.

2. Remove the hook which holds the bottom handle with
the machine body while holding the bottom handle.

UK only

The supply cord for 230v models is fitted with a plug
containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement it must only be replaced by a 13 amp
fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until the correct replacement cover is fitted.

Should an extension cord be used, ensure cord rating
is adequate for the equipment. Do not use extension
cord in coiled condition as this could result in
overheating of the cord. The power supply cord plus
any extension leads should not exceed 30 m in total.
The cross-section of any extension cable wiring must
be at least 2, 5 mm².

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

WARNING - Since the bottom handle is spring loaded,
care must be taken when removing the hook to avoid
sudden springing back leading to possible injury to
personnel.

2.3 Setting up the machine

1. Insert the two tubular handles into the bottom handle
and secure them using knob (2 off) by tightening
lightly. Ensure that the handles are assembled
according to their marked position and the cable
holding hooks are pointing towards the rear.

2. Slide the electric cable retainer into the top portion of
RH handle.

3. Fit the top handle over the tubular handles and secure
them with washer and screw (2 sets).Ensure that the
label on the top handle is facing the front of the
machine. Now tighten firmly both the knobs and
screws alternately. Insert the dummy caps provided to
cover the screws (2 off) in the top handle.

4. Pass the free end of the pull cable through the plastic
guide in RH Handle. Press and twist clockwise to firmly
secure the cable end to the fresh water tank
(Standard).

5. Fix the auxiliary tank firmly into the bottom handle by
holding the top handle.

6. Rotate the knob to hold the auxiliary tank.

7. The brushes are only loosely packed in the machine
for transit, therefore the brush shafts must be fitted
before operating the machine. Push the shafts through
the brushes from the side of the machine. To remove
brushes, push the brush shaft out from the side of the
machine using the fingers and withdraw the shaft.
Normally the standard brush will be supplied with the
machine. Brushes should be selected according to the
type of floor surface to be cleaned, and the degree of
dirt to be removed, please refer Brush Selection Guide.

8. The machine is now ready for use.

2.4 Working principle

1. Cleaning liquid in the solution tank is applied to the
floor by either gravity (Standard) or Spray (Pump).

2. The counter rotating brushes scrub the floor and also
throw the dirty water on the conveyor drum. The front
brush does most of the scrubbing and drying. The rear
brush completes the scrubbing and collects the
remaining water off the floor.

3. A blade fitted to the dirty water tank wipes the drum
and collects the dirty water.

Fig. 2

2.5 Brush identification

Fig. 3

(a) Hole provided for plugging button

(b) Brush with button plugged

This is applicable when the customer has more than one
set of brushes of same type. Distinct colour coding make it
easy to separate tools into their correct areas of use.
Washroom tools are kept in the restroom; kitchen tools
are kept in the kitchen - reducing bacteria cross­contamination between high and low-risk areas. Red,
Blue, White and Yellow brush buttons are packed with the
machine. Simply plug the buttons into the hole in the
brush as shown. Clear identification, by colour coding,
helps to prevent cross contamination.

3. Controls

The operating controls are located on the handle (1) and
on the side of the machine. Please refer to page 1.

On/Off Control

By pressing the pedal lightly
with your foot, pull back the
handle a little to start the
motor. The brushes and the
drum starts rotating. Pulling
the handle further without
pressing the pedal, lowers
the machine and engages
the rotating brushes onto
the floor. To stop working,
take the handle to the
vertical position.

Transport/Working Mode Control

Slide this knob to TOP
position (Working Mode) to
operate the machine. Slide
this knob to BOTTOM
position to move the
machine and park the

6

Brush Contact Control

Brush contact with the floor
is adjustable in 4 steps,
contact is MINIMUM when
the knob is fully down and
MAXIMUM when it is fully
raised. This helps you to
compensate for the wear of
brushes and also to control
the scrubbing effect. If the

machine does not move
when the handle is lowered, slide the transport/working
mode knob up one step.

Cleaning Liquid Discharge Control

By pulling, the liquid
discharge control handle
up, the cleaning solution is
dispensed on the floor. The
solution stops once the
liquid discharge control
handle is released.

cable into the valve body
fitted in the fresh water
tank. Press and twist
clockwise to secure the
cable end. Similarly, press
and twist anti clockwise to
disconnect the cable end.

Motor Overload Protector

In the event of motor
getting overloaded due to
improper power supply or
unexpected obstruction to
the brush/drum rotation,
the over load protector
trips and protects the
motor from damage. If this
happens, identify the

cause, correct it and, reset
the protector button after minimum of 30 seconds from
tripping by pressing the over load protector manually and
continue working.

IMPORTANT - Should the machine fail to operate, contact
the supplier from whom you purchased the machine.

tiled or stone floors, apply very little water. The spray
pattern of the Multiwash can be adjusted by the user.
Adjust the spray to prevent solution being dispensed
onto areas that already have been cleaned. The spray
pattern is adjusted by using the serrations in the spray
nozzle and holder. Each serration allows a 4 degree
change (Fig-i v).

3. Stop the liquid discharge approximately 30 cm before
the end of forward motion, continue to move forward
up to the wall without pulling the pull handle.

6. Maintenance

WARNING - Before undertaking maintenance operations

or adjustments switch off machine and unplug from the
electricity supply. IMPORTANT – All other servicing and
repairs should only be performed by a Truvox engineer or
Authorised Service Agent. IMPORTANT – Should the
machine fail to operate please refer to the fault diagnosis
section in the back of this instruction manual. If the
problem / remedy is not listed please contact Truvox
Customer Service Department for rapid attention.

The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from
the following checks by the operator prior to use:

• DO NOT use aggressive detergents, acid, lye etc.

during cleaning and washing and take particular care
with electrical parts.

• Supply cord - Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord

anchorage for damage or loose connection. Only
replace the supply cord with the type specified in these
instructions.

• Brushes - For maximum life, wash the brushes

regularly. Ensure machine is in Transport mode when
not in use. Store additional brushes in a vertical position
to avoid bending of bristles. Check for permanent
bending of bristles in a particular direction. This may
occur if the machine is operated for several days without
removing the brushes, which is not recommended. If
this occurs, reverse the brush so that the bent bristles
are automatically straightened.

• Wiper Blade - After years of use the wiper blade may

wear. If this occurs the water collection performance will
decrease. It should be replaced by an authorised
service agent.

• Solution tank filter (Standard) - The filter prevents

clogging of the drip holes in the tank. Periodically clean
the filter to ensure uniform discharge of liquid. In case of
non-uniform discharge from the drip holes, back flush
the tank in running

water. Clean the drip holes using

wire or a blunt pin.

• Solution feed filter (Pump) - The filter prevents clogging

of the spray nozzle and should be periodically cleaned.
Use pressurised air/water for cleaning.

• Nozzle maintenance (Pump) - If the spray of the nozzle

becomes blocked, slide the nozzle cover off and remove
nozzle wash in clean water and clean using a pin and
refit.
