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.
Introduction
Minny is a floor scrubbing machine which, via the mechanical action of the
rotating brush and the chemical action of a water/detergent solution, can
clean any type of flooring. As it advances, it also collects the dirt removed
and 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.

The height of the squeegee must be adjusted on the basis of the state of wear and tear of the rubber.
To do this, turn the knob (2) anticlockwise to raise the squeegee, and clockwise to lower it.
Remarks: the right and left wheels must be adjusted to the same level, so the squeegee can work
parallel to the floor.
20. RECOVERY TANK
Check the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it completely.
Open the cover and check the suction cap (2) is correctly blocked (insert the notches in their housings,
rotating the cap clockwise) and correctly connected to the tube leading to the suction motor.
In addition, check the squeegee tube (1) is correctly inserted in its housing, and that the drainage tube
cap (in the rear part of the machine) is closed.

21. SOLUTION TANK / DETERGENT SOLUTION
Completely empty the recovery tank each time the solution tank is filled.
For electrical machines, check that the power supply cable is unplugged from the mains. Remove the
front inlet cap and check the solution filter (1) is correctly assembled.
Check the filter cover (2) beneath the solution tank is correctly closed.
Fill it with clean water at a temperature not exceeding 50°C.
Add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration and manner indicated on the detergent
manufacturer's label. The formation of excess foam could damage the suction motor, so use only the
minimum amount of detergent necessary.
ATTENTION: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates
their suitability for scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or
solvents without this indication.
In addition, you are advised to always use low foam detergents.
Do not use pure acids
Acidic or alkaline maintenance detergents can be used with pH values
between 4 and 10 and that are free of: oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine,
formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands
22. BASE SPLASH GUARD RUBBER ASSEMBLY (SINGLE BRUSH VERSION)
For packaging reasons, the splash guard rubbers are supplied disassembled from the machine.
Remove the hook (1) of the spring from the connector screw on the right side of the base, wrap the
rubber all around the base and position it so that it is symmetrical to the brush. Replace the previously
removed strip securing the hook (1) of the spring in the screw connector.

23. BASE SPLASH GUARD RUBBER ASSEMBLY (DUAL BRUSH VERSION)
For packaging reasons, the splash guard rubbers are supplied with the machine. Remove the rubber
retaining strips by removing the hook of the spring (1) from the connecting screw. Wrap the rubber
around the base inserting the base fixing screw in the centre hole. Reattach the rubber retaining strips
starting from the centre of the base, attach the spring (1) of the connecting screw
24. BRUSH ASSEMBLY (SINGLE BRUSH VERSION)
1. For the electric version, make sure that the power cable of the machine is plugged into the mains
socket
2. Activate the main switch of the machine
3. Raise the base by means of the appropriate pedal.
4. With the base up, position the brush in line with the coupling on the machine.
5. Lower the base by means of the pedal.
6. Using the "man present" lever (6), the brush is automatically hooked up.
ATTENTION: during this operation, check there are no people or objects
near the brushes
ATTENTION: Check that the power supply voltage and the mains
frequency is appropriate with that of the machine (version E).
ATTENTION: You are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid
the risk of serious injury to your hands

25. BRUSH ASSEMBLY (DUAL BRUSH VERSION)
Proceed as follows to assemble the brushes:
1. Check that the main switch of the machine is turned off, and verify that the power cable is
unplugged from the mains (electric versions)
2. Raise the base by means of the appropriate pedal
3. With the base up, place the brushes into the plate housing beneath the base, turning the brushes
until the three pins enter the niches in the plate itself; turn until the pin is pushed towards the
coupling spring and is locked into place.
The figure shows the rotation direction for coupling the right-hand brush; for the left-hand one, rotate in
the opposite direction.
ATTENTION: during this operation, check there are no people or objects near the
brush.
ATTENTION: Make sure the brushes are correctly connected. If this is not the
case, the machine could move in an irregular, sudden manner.
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk
of serious injury to your hands
4. You are advised to invert the right and left-hand brushes every day. If the brushes are not new
however, and have deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position (the
right-hand one on the right, and the left-hand one on the left), to prevent the different inclination of
the bristles producing an overload on the brush motor as well as excessive vibrations.
26. REGULATING THE SOLUTION
Adjust the amount of water through the tap lever on the back of the machine (1), by pressing the man
present levers the brushes are activated and the machine starts moving. During the first few meters
check that the amount of solution is sufficient to wet the floor, but not excessive to exit the splash
guard. Bear in mind that the correct amount of solution is always depends on the nature of the floor,
the degree of dirt and the forward speed.
