SAFETY
The following symbols indicate potentially dangerous situations. Always read this information carefully and take all necessary
precautions to safeguard people and property.
The operator’s cooperation is essential in order to prevent injury. No accident prevention program is effective without the total
cooperation of the person responsible for the machine operation. Most of the accidents that may occur in a factory, while working
or moving around, are caused by failure to comply with the simplest rules for exercising prudence. A careful and prudent operator is
the best guarantee against accidents and is essential for successful completion of any prevention program.
SYMBOLS

WARNING!
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 electrical 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.
Keep the battery charger cable away from heated surfaces.–Do not use the machine if the battery charger cable or plug is damaged. If the machine is not working as it–should, has been damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to the Service Center.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged–in. Before performing any maintenance procedure, disconnect the battery charger cable from the electrical
mains.
Do not smoke while charging the batteries.–To avoid any unauthorized use of the machine, remove the ignition key (if equipped).–Do not leave the machine unattended without being sure that it cannot move independently.–Always protect the machine against the sun, rain and bad weather, both under operation and inactivity–condition. Store the machine indoors, in a dry place: This machine must be used in dry conditions, it must
not be used or kept outdoors in wet conditions.

BATTERY CHECK/SETTING ON A NEW MACHINE
WARNING!
The electric components of the machine can be seriously damaged if the batteries are either improperly installed
or connected. The batteries must be installed by qualified personnel only. Set the function electronic board and
the built-in battery charger according to the type of batteries used (WET or GEL/AGM).
Check the batteries for damage before installation.
Disconnect the battery connector and the battery charger plug.
Handle the batteries with great care.
Install the battery terminal protection caps supplied with the machine.
The machine requires two 12 V batteries, connected according to the diagram (29).
The machine can be supplied in one of the following modes:
Batteries (WET or GEL/AGM) already installed and ready to be used
Check that the batteries are connected to the machine with the connector (12).1.
Insert the ignition key (80) and turn it to “I” position.2.
If the green warning led (81a) turns on, the batteries are ready to be used.
If the yellow or red warning led (81b) or (81c) turns on, the batteries must be charged (see the procedure in the Maintenance
chapter).
Without batteries
Buy appropriate batteries (see the Technical Data paragraph).1.
For battery choice and installation, apply to qualified battery Retailers.2.

Adjustment of the detergent concentration in the solution
(For Adfinity™ X20D, X20C, X24D)
The system used to mix the detergent with the washing water can be activated by pressing the detergent flow control switch (A, Fig.
5): when the LED (B) is on, the detergent is added to the washing water.
The display (C) shows the detergent concentration level (1 to 6) in the solution: for the related percentage values refer to the table
(D).
NOTE
The detergent concentration in the solution dispensed from the system always corresponds to level 1.
In order to temporarily obtain a stronger concentration, press the EcoFlex™ switch or disable the EcoFlex™ system (see
the relevant paragraph).
EcoFlex™ switch
(For Adfinity™ X20D, X20C, X24D)
Press the EcoFlex™ switch (E, Fig. 5) whenever a stronger washing power is required.
When you press the switch (E) (the led indicator (F) is flashing) the solution flow increases and the detergent concentration in the
corresponding solution rises to the set level (moreover, if the detergent mixing function is not activated, it is automatically activated).
The original settings can be restored by pressing the switch (E) once again (the led indicator (F) is ON).
NOTE
If the switch (E) is not pressed once again, the original settings are restored automatically after 60 seconds.
In order to change the actual detergent concentration, proceed as follows:
Turn off the detergent flow control switch (A) (the LED (B) must be OFF).1.
Press and hold the detergent flow control switch (A) until the LED (B) flashes.2.
Release the switch (A). Press it again shortly to go to the next level shown by the display (C); repeat the operation until the3.
desired setting is reached.
Wait until the LED (B) stops flashing: the new level is now set.4.

EcoFlex™ system disabling procedure
(For Adfinity™ X20D, X20C, X24D)
In order to temporarily disable the system, press and hold the EcoFlex™ switch (E, fig. 5) for 2 seconds.
After this procedure, (LED (D) off), the detergent concentration level is the one which has been set.
To enable the system, press the EcoFlex™ switch (E) again.
In order to permanently disable the EcoFlex™ system, proceed as follows:
Turn off the machine by turning the ignition key (80) to “0”.1.
Press and hold the switch (E), then turn the ignition key (80) to “I”.2.
Release the switch (E) at least 8 seconds after turning on the machine.3.
After this procedure, the EcoFlex™ switch cannot be operated again (the led indicator (F) is OFF) and the detergent concentration
level is the one which has been set.
In order to re-enable the system, repeat the steps 1 to 3.

Working with brush/pad-holder extra pressure function turned on
If the floor proves to be particularly difficult to clean, it is possible to turn on the brush/pad-holder extra pressure function by
pressing the pedal (11) to position (11c).
CAUTION!
When the cylindrical brush deck (18c) is installed, the extra pressure function is not enabled.
CAUTION!
In case of brush/pad-holder motor overload, due to foreign bodies which prevent them from turning, or to
excessively aggressive floors/brushes, the safety system stops the motor after about one minute of continuous
overload.
The overload is shown by the three warning lights (81a, 81b, 81c) flashing simultaneously.
If the overload takes place when the extra pressure function is on (11c), press the pedal to position (11b). If the
overload persists, the brush/pad-holder stops.
To start scrubbing again after a brush/pad-holder stop due to overload, stop the machine by turning the ignition
key (80) to “0”. Turn on the machine by turning the ignition key (80) to “I”.
