INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Thank you for having chosen our machine. This floor cleaning machine is used for the commercial cleaning
and is able to clean most types of hard floor, except carpet cleaning (if unsure please consult your floor
manufacturer/supplier). During its forward movement, the combined action of the brush and the detergent
solution removes the dirt which is recovered through the rear suction assembly, giving a perfectly dry
surface.
The machine must be used only for such purpose. It gives the best performance if it is used correctly and
maintained in good condition. We therefore ask you to read this instruction booklet carefully whenever
difficulties arise in the course of the machine’s use. In case of need, we ask you to contact our service
department for all advice and servicing as may prove necessary.

BATTERY CHARGING (STANDARD VERSION
WITH AGM BATTERIES)
The charge level of the batteries is visible by first
switching on the machine using the ON/OFF
switch (1) placed on the instrument board. Check
the three luminous leds placed on the frame in
the rear part of the machine (19).
A: green led on = batteries charged.
B: orange led on = batteries almost discharged.
C: red led on = complete discharge of the
batteries with consequent automatic switching
off of all the functions (immediate recharge
necessary).

12
During the recharging operations the machine's
functions are disabled.
To charge the batteries, park the machine on a
level surface near to a mains single-phase socket.
Switch off the machine at the on/off switch (1).
Connect the mains cable supplied with the
machine both to the machine (20) and to the
outlet socket as indicated in the figure.
At the end of the recharging phase take off the
mains cable.
The recharge phase is complete only when on the
recharger the green led (A) comes on.
In order not to cause permanent damages to the
batteries, never leave them completely
discharged, providing for their recharging after a
total use of 30 minutes. Furthermore, if a stop of
more than two weeks of the machine is
expected, disconnect the battery connectors (see
under “CONNECTION BATTERIES”).
BATTERY CHARGING (PLUS VERSION WITH
XFC OR WITH LITHIUM)
If the machine is equipped with XFC batteries, a
suitable label with the "plus" logo is fixed on the
rear machine frame. This identifies the version
equipped with pure lead batteries (XFC) and with
its dedicated battery charger.
There is a phase in which the green led of the
general switch (1) starts to blink. This is the best
condition to carry out the battery recharging.
When the led becomes red, this means that the
complete discharge of the batteries has been
reached with consequent automatic switching
off of all the functions of the machine.
This type of equipment offers the possibility to
continue working also with the discharged
batteries connecting the machine to the mains
system with the mains cable.
The battery charger supplies to the machine a
greater electric current than that required for
the functioning of the machine.
The remaining current not used for the machine
allows a slow recharging of the batteries. For a
faster recharge it is necessary to switch off the
machine.
Connect the mains cable supplied with the
machine both to the machine (20) and to the
outlet socket as indicated in the figure.
Insert the plug into a single-phase socket.
The recharge phase is complete only when on the
recharger the green led (A) comes on.
The leds of the recharger are easily visible
through the slot present under the transparent
protection, by taking off the recovery tank and
reaching the battery compartment (see under
“CONNECTION BATTERIES”).

13
Never charge batteries with a non-suitable
charger. Strictly follow the instructions
supplied by the batteries and recharger
manufacturer.
In order not to cause permanent damages to the
batteries, never leave them completely
discharged, providing for their immediate
recharging. In case of stops of more than two
weeks of the machine, take off the battery
connector (see under “CONNECTION BATTERIES”).
BATTERIES DISPOSAL
It is mandatory to hand over exhausted batteries,
classified as dangerous waste, to an authorized
institution according to the current laws.
RECOVERY TANK
Check that the cover of the suction filter (17) is
correctly secured, after rotating the levers (B).
Furthermore, check that the squeegee hose is
correctly seated in its seat (A).
SOLUTION TANK
The capacity of the solution tank is indicated in
the technical data.
Open the screw plug (15) situated on top and fill
the solution tank with clean water at a maximum
temperature of 50°C. Add the liquid detergent in
the percentage recommended by the
manufacturer. To avoid excessive foaming, which
could cause problems to the suction motor, use
the minimum percentage of detergent. Screw
down the plug to close the tank.
Use always low foam detergent. To avoid
excessive foaming, before starting working
operation, add into the recovery tank a minimum
quantity of anti-foam product.
Never use acid.
FLOOR CLEANING
STARTING OF THE MACHINE
The push buttons on the instrument board are
lighted with an upper green signal LED that
shows the activation of each control.

3. Lower the squeegee by rotating downwards
the handle of the squeegee lifting lever (5)
placed in the centre of the handle bar.
4. Press the switch for the brush motor (2).
5. Press the switch for the suction motor (3).
6. Press the switch for the solenoid valve (4).
7. The machine is equipped with a solenoid
valve, which activates the solution flow
automatically when the scrub control levers
(7) are engaged. Releasing these levers will
stop the flow automatically.
8. Activating the levers (7) the brush will start
rotating. The solution flow begins and the
squeegee will start drying the floor.

14
9. During the first few meters check that the
solution flow is appropriate. The flow
adjuster of the solution is already adjusted
at the factory to satisfy the cleaning of
most floors. If it is necessary to adjust the
quantity of solution onto the floor, adjust
the lever of the flow adjuster (11).
When moving the machine backwards, make sure
that the squeegee is lifted.
HANDLE BAR ADJUSTMENT
When approaching obstacles or near walls, it is
possible to simplify the handling of the machine
by adjusting the handle bar more vertically with
respect to the machine.
To rotate the handle bar:
1. Lift the release lever (8) present near the
handle bar.
2. Rotate the handle bar into the new working
position keeping the release lever (8) pulled.
3. Release the lever (8) to lock the handle bar
in the desired position.
Once the obstacle has been passed and the
manoeuvre completed repeat the operation to
return to the previous working position.
This operation is possible also with the machine
in motion maintaining pressed contemporarily
the handle bar levers (7).
OVERFILL PROTECTION
In order to avoid serious damages to the suction
motor, the machine is equipped with a float that
intervenes when the recovery tank is full, closing
the suction hose and stopping the suction.
When this happens, it is necessary to empty the
recovery tank.
1. Switch off the machine pressing the on/off
switch.
2. Take off the suction filter cover (17) after
turning the blocking levers (B).
3. Take off the squeegee hose from its seat (A).
4. Lift and remove the recovery tank (16)
holding it from the provided handles, one
on the front and one on the rear of the
tank.
5. Empty the recovery tank into appropriate
containers, according to the standard norms
for the liquid disposal.
6. Reassemble everything.

15
SECURITY DEVICE BRUSH LIFTING (OPTIONAL)
A security device prevents brush motor
activation when the brush is lifted from the floor
during operation. To move the machine, push
down the handle bar so that the front of the
machine rotates upwards pivoting on the main
wheels of the machine and consequently the
brush is lifted from the floor.
The device intervenes also when the wheels and
the brush are not on the same surface.
The presence of this device prevents any possible
risk because the brush is stopped.
Returning to the normal working position on an
even surface with the brush rested onto the
floor, re-establishes immediately its normal
functioning.
STOPPING THE MACHINE AFTER
CLEANING OPERATION
Before carrying out any type of maintenance:
1. Switch off the on/off switch (1).
2. Lift the squeegee rotating upwards the lever
(5) placed in the centre of the handle bar.

rotating the blocking levers (B).
2. Take off the filter with the float bending
the filter edge to release it from the screws
present on the cover.
3. Clean all parts with a water jet and
especially the surfaces and the filter
bottom.
4. Carry out carefully the cleaning operations.
5. Reassemble everything.
VERTICAL POSITIONING OF THE MACHINE
The machine has to assume a vertical positioning
tipped over at the back after having folded the
handle bar onto the machine.
This position allows the unit to be stored in a
small space and simplifies maintenance
operations.
To rotate the machine it is necessary to:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Check that both tanks are empty, otherwise
provide to empty them (see under
“EMPTYING AND CLEANING OF THE
RECOVERY TANK” and “EMPTYING AND

18
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Make sure that, before any intervention, the
mains cable is disconnected:
- on the standard AGM version disconnect the
battery connectors.
- version XFC or Lithium disconnect the bridge
connector.
CONTROL DEVICE BRUSH WEAR (OPTIONAL)
A safety device stops the brush motor when the
brush reaches a low bristle level of about 10mm
such that a good cleaning result is not
guaranteed and also to prevent floor damage.
A considerable brush deformation may also
determine the intervention of the device.
In fact, the vertical positioning is indicated when
you expect not to use the machine for a period
of more than 2/3 days, to avoid that the machine
weight may damage eventually the brush
compromising therefore the correct machine
functioning.
To restore the working functionality of the
machine it is necessary to replace the brush (see
under “BRUSH REMOVAL/FITTING”).
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The brush has to be replaced when the control
device brush wear intervenes. It is possible to use
also other brush types, depending on the type
and dirt of floor to be cleaned (see under
“RECOMMENDED BRUSHES”).
Remove the old brush and replace it with a new
one (see under “BRUSH REMOVAL/FITTING").
REAR SQUEEGEE RUBBER REPLACEMENT
Check the squeegee rubber wear and eventually
turn or replace it.
For the replacement it is necessary to:
1. Lower the squeegee by lowering the handle
lever (5) placed in the centre of the handle
bar.
2. Tip over the machine backwards (see under
“VERTICAL POSITIONING OF THE MACHINE")
paying attention to remember to switch off
the on/off switch and to empty the tanks.
