NAME AND DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
Electromechanical ride-on scrubber-drier for floors, suitable for washing and drying smooth, uniform
floors covered with grès, cotto, marble, ceramic, clinker, cement, PVC, linoleum, etc., free of steps
or obstacles.
The mechanical cleaning action is performed by rotary brushes the pressure of which on the floor
can be adjusted, depending on the surfaces; the chemical action is performed by the detergent
water solution given out at the centre of the brushes during the machine operating phases. The
suction is brought about by the rear drying unit which consists of a pair of squeegees made of a
special soft material which scrape the pavement, and by means of the depression between the two
squeegees allow the drier to absorb the remaining wash water, leaving the floor clean and dry.

(for example supermarkets)
In position 1 the key powers the electric circuit and automatically activates the tower light.
B) CIRCULAR INDICATOR INSTRUMENT:
The instrument is provided with 2 indicators.
b1 – The upper one shows the battery charge status by means of 10 red LEDs which light up one at a
time: when the last LED to the right lights up, it means the battery is charged by 100%; when the fifth
LED lights up it means the battery charge is 50%, in other words, progressive lighting up of the LEDs
from right to left indicates progressive discharge of the batteries while the vehicle is being used .
b2 - The lower indicator shows the number of machine operating hours.
C) OPERATING LEVER:
It has 3 positions: the vertical position indicates idle condition; pushing the lever forwards will cause the
vehicle to move forwards, and the machine can bereversed by pushing the lever backwards.

RUNNER 20
4/4 – INSPECTION BEFORE USE
CONDITION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER AND COMMISSIONING
The Runner series of scrubber-driers are battery-powered. The batteries accumulate the electrical
energywhich is transferred to the motors as and when it is required.
The battery charger makes it possible to use the machine correctly: with the batteries charged by
100% the last LED to the right of the instrument lights up. It is possible to work until the batteries
have at least 50% charge, i.e. until the fifth LED lights up. After this the battery must be recharged.
Therefore, before starting work, check the condition of the battery charge bearing in mind that the
correct charge status is only indicated with a motor running.
•Do not discharge the batteries beyond 75 % of the rated capacity
•Always make sure that the power supply is suitable for the battery charger power draw.
•Pay special attention to the WARNINGS on pages 12 and 13.
•Check to ensure the correct level of electrolyte, If the electrolyte in one or more elements of the
battery is below the minimum, top up to the minimum level.
•Before starting the battery recharge phase, check to make sure the machine is switched off
correctly, the key has been removed and the battery compartment cover is lifted.
•To start battery charging, connect the plug (see fig. O on page 17 of the Manual) to the battery
charger. The machine cannot be started up or used during the battery recharge phase.
•Do not carry out any operation on the machine while the battery is being charged.
•Check to make sure that all the tubes are fitted in the correct inlet openings, check to make
sure the recovery water tank is closed correctly and sealed.
•Make sure the electrolyte temperature does not exceed 40 °C (take special care in summer
and in rooms where the environmental temperature is high)
•For the first 4 – 5 cycles, recharge the batteries after 3 – 4 hours of operation.
•The new batteries reach their maximum capacity after about 10 work cycles.
•Never leave the batteries flat. They must be recharged after a long shutdown period.
•In low operating temperatures, do not delay recharging the batteries as the electrolyte may
freeze.
