On consignment of the machine
When the machine is delivered to the customer, an immediate check
must be performed to ensure all the material mentioned in the shipping
documents has been received, and also to check the machine has not
been damaged during transportation. If this is the case, the carrier must
ascertain the extent of the damage at once, informing our customer
service office. It is only by prompt action of this type that the missing
material can be obtained, and compensation for damage successfully
claimed.
Serial number plate
Introductory comment
The ULTRA100s are floor scrubbing machines which, by means of the
mechanical action of the rotating brush and the chemical action of a
water/detergent solution, can clean any type of flooring. As they advance,
they also collect any removed dirt as well as the detergent solution not
absorbed by the floor.
The machine must only be used for this purpose. Even the best
machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in good working
order. We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully
and read it again whenever difficulties arise while using the machine. If
necessary, remember that our customer assistance service (organised in
collaboration with our dealers) is always available for advice or direct
intervention.
Intended use
The scrubbing machine is designed exclusively for the professional
cleaning of surfaces and floors in industrial, commercial and public
environments. The machine is only suitable for use in closed (or at least
covered) places.
The machine is not suitable for use in the rain, or under water jets. It is
FORBIDDEN to use the machine in places with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, for picking up dangerous dusts or inflammable liquids. In
addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport for people or objects.

In the event of danger, quickly intervene on the handle located on the battery connector.
For all maintenance interventions, switch off the machine and disconnect the battery connector and/or the power supply cable.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device.
During the working of the machine, pay attention to other people and especially to children.
Only use the brushes supplied with the machine, or those specified in the "CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES" paragraph of the instruction
manual. The use of other brushes could compromise safety levels.
WARNING:
The machine is not suitable for use by children and persons with reduced physical, mental and sensory capabilities, or people who lack experience and
knowledge.
The machine must not be used or stored outdoors, in damp conditions or directly exposed to rain.
The storage temperature must be between -25C and +55C; do not store outdoors in damp conditions.
Conditions of use: room temperature between 0°C and 40°C with relative humidity between 30 and 95%.
The socket for the machine's power cable (electric version) or for the battery charger power cable (battery version) must be correctly earthed.
Adapt the speed to the adhesion conditions.
Do not use the machine as a means of transport.
The machine does not cause harmful vibrations.
Do not use the machine in an explosive atmosphere.

The machine is not suitable for cleaning carpets.
Do not place any liquid containers on the machine.
Avoid working with the brushes when the machine is standing still, so as not to damage the floor.
In the event of a fire, use a powder extinguisher. Do not use water.
Do not knock against shelving or scaffolding, where there is a danger of falling objects. The operator must always be equipped with the appropriate
safety devices (gloves, shoes, helmet, goggles, etc.).
The machine is designed to carry out the washing and drying operations simultaneously. Different operations should only be carried out in areas where
the passage of unauthorised persons is prohibited. Signal the presence of damp floors with suitable signs.
If the machine does not work properly, check this is not caused by failure to carry out routine maintenance. Otherwise, ask for intervention of the
authorised technical assistance centre.

To prevent scaling in the solution tank filter, do not fill the tank with detergent solution many hours before using the machine.
Do not use acid or basic solutions that could damage the machine and/or harm people.
Have the machine checked by an authorised technical assistance centre every year.
When disposing of consumable materials, observe the laws and regulations in force.
When your machine has reached the end of its long working life, dispose of the materials it contains (especially oils, batteries and electronic
components) in an appropriate manner, taking into account that the machine itself was constructed using 100% recyclable materials.
The batteries must be removed from the machine before its disposal. The batteries must be disposed of in a safe manner, fully observing the laws and
regulations in force.

10. TYPE OF BATTER
Y
To power the machine it is necessary to use:
liquidelectrolyte lead traction batteries;
sealed traction batteries with gas recombination or gel technology.
OTHER TYPES MUST NOT BE USED.
The batteries must meet the requirements laid out in the norms: CEI EN 60254-1:2005-12 (CEI 21-5) + CEI
EN 60254-2:2008-06 (CEI 21-7).
For a good operating performance, we suggest the use of two 18V 480 Ah battery cases.
11. TYPE OF STARTER BATTER
Y
A
s a starter battery, you are advised to use a 12V/35 Ah C5 battery.
OTHER TYPES MUST NOT BE USED.
The battery must meet the requisites indicated in standards CEI EN 50342, CEI EN 60095-2 and CEI EN
60095-4.
12. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
For maintenance and recharging, comply with the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are
different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
When the battery reaches the end of its working life, it must be disconnected by expert, trained personnel,
then lifted (using the grips and suitable lifting devices) to remove it from the battery compartment. DEAD
BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS WASTE AND MUST BE DELIVERED TO THE
A
UTHORISED BODIES FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL.
WARNING: You are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk
of serious injury to your hands.
WARNING: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting and
transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size.

13. MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL OF THE COMBUSTION ENGINE
WARNING: For the maintenance and disposal of the combustion engine, observe
the instructions given by the engine manufacturer (for maintenance) and current
environmental hygiene norms (for disposal).
14. MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL OF THE LPG CYLINDER
WARNING: For the maintenance and disposal of the LPG cylinder, observe the
instructions given by the cylinder manufacturer (for maintenance) and current
environmental hygiene norms (for disposal).
15. HANDLING AND INSERTING THE BATTERIES (BATTERY VERSION)
The batteries must be housed in the special compartment beneath the seat mounting plate. They should be
handled using lifting equipment that is suitable in terms of both weight and method of lifting. They must also
satisfy the requirements of Standard CEI 21-5. The dimensions of the battery compartment are: 879 mm x
599 mm x H450 mm.
WARNING: For battery maintenance and daily recharging, you must carefully
follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or retailer. All installation
and maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised personnel.
To insert batteries proceed as follows:
1. Immobilise the machine with the parking brake
2. Make sure the main machine switch is in the “0” position
3. Use a suitable tool to remove the right-hand carter (1) by unscrewing the nuts (2)
WARNING: You are advised to use airtight batteries only, to avoid the leakage
of acids!
WARNING: You are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands.
4. Disconnect the quick release coupling (3) located behind the side cover, to prevent damage to the
coupling itself (CDS version)
