2.1. IDENTIFICATION
The autoscrubber machine ca be identified with an adhesive label put on the protection carter in the
backside of the machine which will clearly report the data referring to “CE” marking.
The label has never to be removed and should be always kept legible. In case of
damaging it’s necessary to ask for a duplicate. The autoscrubber machine cannot be
commercialized without the label.
2.2. DESCRIPTION AND COMPONENTS
The autoscrubber machine I 16/18 NEW has been designed for treatment of flat areas through washing and
following process of water drying. The power supply is furnished of a series of accumulator batteries, that
charge all the engines and the electrical controls.
The machine, depending on the model, can be supplied with one or two rotating brushes having in charge,
assisted by water and detergent action, to wash the areas. As the machine advances the brush in the back
(squeegee), touching the floor take the water that, at the same time, is aspired and piped in the recovery
tank.
The dashboard controls some of the functions of the machine and put at the operator’s disposal a signaling
system, through lighting leds, of the remaining charge of the battery. With the dashboard is possible to carry
out the following functions:
¾to start the washing brushes;
¾to start the suction motor;
¾to switch on and off the machine;
