IMPORTANT
BEFORE USE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1 Product Information
These commercial floor treatment machines are
designed for the scrubbing of hard floors in
indoor areas.
Maintenance free (gel) batteries must be used
which provide up to 80 minutes running time. A
battery life indicator allows the operator to assess
the degree of battery life available, and an on
board battery charger provides convenient
charging.
This machine must only be used for the
manufacturer’s approved application. Do not
use the machine where it is suspected that the
floor surface contains health endangering dust or
debris such as asbestos or chemical waste. If
this is suspected do not proceed, contact your
supervisor, supplier or Truvox International for
advice.
The following instructions contain important
information about the machine and safety advice
for the operator.
Equipment must be operated, serviced and
maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. If in doubt contact
the supplier of your machine.
These instructions are valid for the following
models:

handle support (Fig 1).
Fig 1
•Remove the recovery water tank (Fig 2).
Fig 2
•Connect the battery connectors (Fig 3 & 4).
Fig 3
Fig 4
•Replace the recovery water tank and screw
into place.
WARNING
Make sure that the mains system is
equipped with an RCD (circuit breaker).
2.2 Charging the batteries
WARNING Charge batteries in a well
ventilated area which comply with
standards in force in the country of use.
•Move the machine close to a mains electrical
socket.
•Unwind the battery charging lead at the rear of
the machine and connect to the outlet.
WARNING Check that the mains voltage
is compatible with the operating voltage
of the battery charger (220 – 240V, 50/60Hz).

correctly coupled and inserted in the recovery
tank (See Fig 12).
Fig 12
•Check that the connector on the squeegee is
not blocked and that the hose is connected
correctly (See detailed image 13).
Fig 13
•Check the status of the battery charge by
pressing switch 3.
•Check water filter is clean and free of debris
(Fig 14).
Fig 14

Fig 15
The machine can perform 4 working cycles:
•Drying cycle
To perform the drying cycle, pull lever 5 to start
brush rotation and press button 2 to start the
vacuum.
•Brushing only cycle
To operate the rotating brush only press lever 5.
Releasing the lever stops the brush.
•Washing, brushing cycle:
Press button 4 to prepare for the dispensing of
solution, then press lever 5 to release solution
onto floor.
•Washing, brushing, drying cycle
Press button 2 to start the vacuum, button 4 to
release solution and press lever 5 to start the
cycle.
4.3 Using the machine
WARNING Never start the machine
without a brush or pad fitted.
With the handle set at a comfortable working
height:
•Start the machine and select the type of cycle.
Start the cleaning operation by pressing the
lever and holding it pressed to start rotation of
the brush or pad and the dispensing of
cleaning solution, then push the machine in a
forwards direction by means of the handles on
the handle bar.
•Releasing the lever stops the rotation of the
brush and the dispensing of water.
WARNING – to avoid damaging the floor
do not use the machine in a fixed
position with the brush rotation activated.
•IMPORTANT – the correct way of cleaning and
drying the floor is to move the machine
forwards. Moving the machine backwards
damages the blades as well as not allowing
correct vacuum of the water present on the
floor.
•If necessary, adjust the quantity of solution flow
using the tap (See fig 16 & 17).
Fig 16 Water regulation tap fully opened
Fig 17 Water regulation tap fully closed
WARNING - If foam or liquid is emitted,
switch off immediately and empty
recovery tank. Liquid emitted could be hazardous
as a result of its temperature, or chemical
content.
•To STOP the machine, release solution feed
levers, switch off brush motor then vacuum
motor.
•Proceed to operate the machine in the normal
manner, releasing cleaning solution as
required.
•For heavy soilage, scrub floor with cleaning
solution but with vacuum motor OFF. Scrub
floor again picking up the solution with the
vacuum motor on.
IMPORTANT If it is necessary to replace the
brush or pad during cleaning please follow
section 2.4.
5 Warnings while using the machine
While using the machine, the occurrence
of the following errors is indicated by the
illumination of the LEDs (Fig 18).
•Vacuum motor overcurrent error LED 1 is
flashing and LED 2 is constantly lit.
•Brush unit outlet overcurrent error LED 1 is
flashing and LED 3 is constantly lit.
•Vacuum motor open circuit error LED 1 is
flashing and LED 4 is constantly lit.
•Brush unit outlet open circuit error LED 1 is
flashing and LED 5 is constantly lit.

WARNING at the end of the cleaning
operations it is necessary to clean the
recovery tank to prevent deposits or
scaling and the proliferation of bacteria, odours or
mould.
•Remove the cover and clean the inside of the
cover and the vacuum safety float with running
water.
•Leaving the hose lowered and the cap off, add
water though the upper opening, cleaning the
inside of the tank until clean water comes out
of the drain hose.
•Replace all components in reverse order.
5.3 Draining and cleaning the solution tank
WARNING – at the end of the cleaning
operation, it is necessary to drain and
clean the solution tank to prevent
deposits or scaling.
After draing the recovery tank, drain the clean
water tank as follows:
•Position the machine over a drain outlet.
•Turn the drain connector outwards (Fig 20).
Fig 20
•Push the hose clip inwards and at the same
time remove the cap and let all the water drain
out.
•Wash the inside of the tank, leaving the drain
cap off and flush water through the solution
tank filling opening
•After cleaning, replace the cap, pushing
inwards.
•IMPORTANT – To dispose of unused cleaning
solution, comply with the standards in force in
the country in which the machine is being used.
5.4 Cleaning the squeegee blades
In order to clean the squeegee correctly,
it is necessary to remove it as follows (Fig
21):
Fig 21
