General Information
Read this manual carefully before starting any operations on this machine.
Scope Of The Manual
This manual has been drawn up by the manufacturer and is considered as an integral part of the machine. It denes the purpose for
which the machine has been manufactured and contains all information the operators require.
Besides this manual, which contains the necessary information for the users, other publications have been issued, which contain the
specic information for the technicians in charge of maintenance.
The constant observance of the instructions guarantee the safety of man and machine, low running costs, quality results and a
longer work life of the machine itself. The nonobservance of the prescribed rules could injure men, damage the machine, spoil the
washed oor and even the environment. In following a policy of constant development and update of the product, the manufacturer
could implement modications without any previous notice.
Technical Information
General Description
The machine is an auto-scrubber, which can be used for sweeping, washing and drying at, horizontal, smooth or moderately rough
oors, with even surfaces and free from obstacles.
The scrubber distributes on the oor an adequately dosed solution of water and detergent, and brushes it to remove dirt. Choosing
with care the right cleaning detergent and brushes (or abrasive discs or roller) in the wide range of accessories available, the machine
can adapt itself to all kinds of combinations of oors and dirt.
A liquid suction system, which is embedded in the machine, allows a perfect drying of the just-washed oor: actually thanks to a
suction unit which sucks up the air from the recovery tank thus creating a vacuum, the squeegee scrapes the dirty water from the
oor, collects it and sends it to the recovery tank.
The storage battery feeding and the high capacity of usable batteries allow the maximum freedom of movement and endurance
at any work conditions. In addition, thanks to the electronic control drive motor provided with forward and reverse gear, the oor
can easily be cleaned in any direction.

Two dierent batteries can be tted on this machine:
• Lead-Acid Leak-Proof Batteries: these batteries require the periodical check of the electrolyte level. When it is necessary, top
up with distilled water alone until the plates are covered; do not overll (max. 5 mm. above the plates).
• Gel Batteries: this kind of batteries requires no maintenance.
When using this type of battery the fuse FU7 (g. 6, ref. 2) inside the machine control panel must be removed using the pliers. This
operation serves to inform the electronic control of the type of battery used.
Do not t the fuse FU7 if using gel batteries. The technical specications must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph concerning
the machine technical data: actually, the use of heavier storage batteries can cause serious problems to the machine controllability and
overheat the drive motor, whereas storage batteries with a lower capacity require recharges more frequently. They must be kept charged,
dry and clean, with their connections tight.
Batteries: Preparation
On installing or performing any kind of maintenance on the batteries wear the necessary accessories (e.g. protective gloves, goggles,
overalls, etc.) to limit the hazards of accidents, keep away from possible free ames, do not short-circuit the battery poles, cause sparks or
smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied lled with acid and ready-for-use. If batteries without acid are to be used, before mounting them
on the machine, it is necessary to make them active as follows:
• After taking o the battery plugs, ll up all elements with a solution of specic sulphuric acid, until the cells are thoroughly
covered (ll each element at least twice);
• Let them rest for about 4-5 hours, to give time to air bubbles to come up to the surface and the plates to absorb the electrolyte;
• Check that the electrolyte level is still above the plates, otherwise top up with the solution of sulphuric acid;
• Reclose the plugs;
• Install the storage batteries on the machine (following the procedure described below). It is now necessary to perform a rst
recharging before having the machine start; to do so stick to the instructions written in the respective paragraph.
Batteries: Installation And Connection
Check that the emergency button on the control panel is at the position “0” (o). Mind you connect only the clips marked with the symbol
“+” to the positive poles. Do not check the battery charge by creating sparkles. Stick scrupulously to the instructions described below, as
any short circuits of the batteries may cause them to explode.
1. Stop the machine and press the emergency button (g. 8, ref. 2); engage the parking brake by means of the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
2. Make sure that the two tanks are empty (empty them, if necessary: see respective paragraph);
3. Unhook the recovery tank (g. 2, ref. 2) from the solution tank (g. 2, ref. 3) acting on the blocking hook (g. 7, ref. 1), placed on
front of the machine;
4. Lift the recovery tank, by making it turn backwards around about 90°: in this way you have access to the battery compartment
(embedded in the solution tank) from the upper side;

ENGLISH
Before opening the upper tank: ensure that the recovery tank is empty (an acoustic warning device will sound if you try to open the recovery
tank without emptying it rst); ensure that the emergency button is pressed.
5. Insertthe batteriesinthecompartment,orientingthemas showninthedrawingprintedonthesolution tankinthecompartment.
Install the storage batteries on the machine using suitable means according to their weight. Positive and negative poles have
dierent diameters.
6. Referring to the arrangement of cables in the aforesaid drawing, connect the clips of the battery wiring and the bridge to the
poles of the storage batteries. After orienting the cables as shown in the drawing, tighten the clips at the poles and cover them
with vaseline;
7. Insert back the tank unit in its work position and hook it to the solution tank by means of the xing hook (g. 7, ref. 1);
8. Use the machine in compliance with the instructions written below.
Batteries: Removal
When removing the batteries, the operator must be equipped with suitable personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, overalls, safety
shoes, etc) to reduce the risk of accidents.
Make sure the switches on the control panel are in the“0”position (o) and the machine is turned o. Keep away from naked ames,
do not short circuit the battery poles, do not cause sparks and do not smoke. Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the battery wiring and bridge terminals from the battery poles.
• If necessary, remove the devices xing the battery to the base of the machine.
• Lift the batteries from the compartment using suitable lifting equipment.
The Battery-Charger
Never let the batteries run down excessively, as they could become damaged irreparably. Before recharging the batteries, ensure that you
have pressed the emergency button.
Choosing The Battery-Charger
Check that the battery-charger is compatible with the batteries to be charged:
• Lead-Acid Batteries: an automatic battery-charger 24V - 20A is suggested. Anyway, refer to the manufacturer and read the
relative manual to conrm your choice;
• Gel batteries: use a battery-charger specically intended for this type of storage batteries.
Preparing The Battery-Charger
If you wish to use a battery-charger not supplied with the machine, it is necessary to mount on it the connector delivered with the
machine (see paragraph“Unpacking”of this manual). To install the connector proceed as follows:
• Remove about 13 mm of sheath from the black and red cables of the battery-charger;
• Insert the cables in the connector pins and push strongly with suitable pliers;
• Insert the cables in the connector respecting the polarity (red cable +, black cable –).
Lifting And Handling The Machine
All stages must be performed in an adequately lighted environment adopting all necessary safety measures. Always wear individual
protections for the user’s safety.

With reference to g. 8 the machine has the following controls and LEDs:
• Battery charge level indicator (ref. 9): signals both “Power on” and the battery charge level. Note: the following percentages
are based on the usable capacity and not the total capacity of the batteries (therefore 100% at = 80% of total battery capacity).
Possible situations are:
a. O: the main switch is set to“0”(o) or the batteries are disconnected;
b. Green light: batteries charged from 100% to 50%;
c. Yellow light: batteries charged from 50% to 15%;
d. Red light (also simultaneously with yellow or green light): batteries at and must be recharged.
• Main switch - emergency button with key (ref. 2): enables or disables the power supply to all the machine functions. It acts as
a safety device. To start the machine turn the proper key clockwise. To stop the machine press the button.
• Brush/roller up-down button (ref. 5): when the arrow down is pressed, the head moves down to the working position, the
brush motor comes on automatically and the solenoid valve is activated. Via this button, a variable pressure can be exerted on
the head during the work phase (according to how long the button is kept pressed), thus adapting the cleaning power of the
brushes to a wide range of dierent operating conditions.When the arrow up is pressed, the head moves up to the rest position,
the brush motors are switched o and the solenoid valve is de-activated.
• Brush pressure indicator (ref. 8): indicates connections of brushes and pressure exerted by the head (1 led on indicates
beginning of brush connection; 2 leds on indicate minimum pressure; 3 leds on indicate maximum pressure).
• Brush release button (ref. 4): permits release of the brushes; press the button for a couple of seconds: when the button is
released, the brushes will be released.
• Cock control lever (ref. 3): allows to adjust continuously the ow of solution sent to the brushes. On turning it forward, the
liquid outlet ow is increased.
• Drive command lever (ref. 6): placed under the handgrip, when it is slightly pressed upwards (the emergency button must
be active), it starts the drive motor thus making the machine move forward. When the lever is pressed down, the drive motor
moves the machine in reverse gear.
• Squeegee lifting lever (ref. 11): it allows to raise (when lifted) or lower (when pushed down) the squeegee. When it is pressed
down, the suction motor is also switched on for drying the oor.
• Hour meter (ref. 7 - optional): displays the hours of work of the brush.
• Parking brake pedal (ref. 12): engages (when pressed and moved to the right) and disengages (when pressed and moved to

The oor wiper, also called squeegee (g. 2, ref. 8), is the rst responsible for drying. To install the squeegee on the machine proceed
as follows:
1. Stop the machine and press the emergency button (g. 8, ref. 2); engage the parking brake by means of the pedal (g. 9, ref. 5);
2. Check that the squeegee supporting plate (g. 9, ref. 2) is raised, otherwise lift it by acting on the proper lever (g. 9, ref. 6);
3. Firmly push down the sleeve of the suction tube (g. 9, ref. 4) into the squeegee;
4. Slacken the two knobs (g. 9, ref. 3) placed in the centre of the squeegee;
5. Insert the two threaded dowels in the slots of the support (g. 9, ref. 2);
6. Fix the squeegee by tightening the knobs (g. 9, ref. 3).
The blades of the squeegee are used to scrub from the oor the lm of water and detergent thus allowing a perfect drying. As long
as time goes by the continuous scraping rounds o and splits the sharp edge in contact with the oor, thus reducing the drying
ecacy and therefore requiring the replacement of the blades. Therefore, often check their state of wear and tear.
To obtain a perfect drying action it is necessary to adjust the squeegee in such a way that when it is in operation, the rear blade lip
is bent about 45 degrees with respect to the oor at all points. It is possible to adjust the inclination of the blades by screwing down
the nuts (g. 9, ref. 1): by unscrewing the nuts the blade inclination is reduced, while by screwing the nuts the blade inclination is
increased. Moreover, check that the suction hole of the squeegee is not clogged, to let dirty water to be perfectly drained from the
oor.
Moving The Machine
To displace the machine, do as follows:
• Lift the squeegee;
• Raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up;
• Disengage the parking brake via the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
• Insert the key to release the emergency button (g. 8, ref. 2);
• Below the handgrip is a lever (g. 8, ref. 6): by pulling the lever up (g. 10, ref. 2) or pressing it down (g. 10, ref. 1), according to
whether you wish to move forward or back, the drive motor is switched on and the machine will begin to move;
• Adjust the running speed via the potentiometer (g. 8, ref. 1);
• Once you have reached your destination, engage the parking brake via the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12).
Never leave the machine unmanned or parked with the parking brake disengaged or the key inserted in the emergency button. Do not
engage the parking brake when the machine is moving.
Installing And Replacing The Brushes / Drive Discs / Rollers
Do not work if the brushes or drive discs are not perfectly installed.

• Raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up;
• Press the brush release button (g. 8, ref. 4) for a couple of seconds: when the button is released, the brushes will be released.
Fitting:
• Position the brushes side by side at the front of the machine;
• Move forward with the machine until the head is positioned above the brushes and they are centred;
• Press the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow down and keep it pressed until the second led of the brush pressure
indicator comes on (g. 8, ref. 8); in this phase the brush motor may come on and then switch o for a few moments: this is a
normal part of the brush engagement procedure.
In particular conditions, the brushes may not engage correctly. In this case the head will vibrate. The brushes must be disassembled and
retted.
If you wish to use the ABRASIVE DISCS instead of the brushes, they must rstly be tted on the drive discs: rest the pad on the
drive disc, placing it exactly in the centre, and x it with the center lock ring nut. The drive discs must then be tted on the machine
following exactly the same procedure as for the brushes. Fully tighten the drive disc ange via the handle provided in order to
prevent the ange dragging on the ground and damaging the oor.

Before starting to work wear an apron, cap, non-slip waterproof shoes, a mask to protect the respiratory system, gloves and any other form
of protection indicated by the supplier of the detergent or necessary in the environment you are going to work in.
Before starting to work, perform the following operations:
• Check the level of battery charge (recharge, if necessary);
• Disengage the parking brake via the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
• Make sure that the recovery tank (g. 2, ref. 2) is empty; if this is not so, empty it;
• Check that the cock control lever (g. 8, ref. 3) is at the position “o”;
• Fill the solution tank (g. 2, ref. 3) through the respective hole on the front with clean water and non-foaming detergent in a
suitable concentration: leave a dierence in level of at least 5 cm between the liquid surface and the tank opening;
• Install brushes or drive discs suitable for the oor and the job to be done;
• Lower the head by pressing the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow down;
• Check that the squeegee (g. 2, ref. 8) is xed well and connected to the suction tube (g. 9, ref. 4); make sure that the rear blade
is not worn.
If you use the machine for the rst time, it is advisable that you train with it for a short time on a wide surface without any obstacles, to
acquire the necessary familiarity. Always empty the recovery tank before relling the solution tank.
For an eective cleaning and long life of the equipment, it is necessary to follow some simple rules:
• Prepare the work area, keeping away the possible obstacles;
• Begin to work starting from the farthest spot, in order to avoid trampling on the area just-cleaned;
• Choose paths that are as much straight as possible;
• On wide oors divide the paths into rectangular and parallel areas.
At the end quickly mop the area, if necessary, to clean spots that are inaccessible to the scrubber.
Work
After setting up the machine, proceed as follows:
• Insert and operate the key to release the main switch (g. 8, ref. 2) and enable all the machine functions: the battery charge level
indicator will come on (g. 8, ref. 9);
• Move the cock lever (g. 8, ref. 3) to the position of minimum ow of solution: the detergent solution begins to reach the
brushes;

13
ENGLISH
• Press the brush/roller up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow down: the head will begin to move down and as soon as the
brushes touch the oor the brush motors will come on. As the brushes rotate, the solution is distributed over the oor;
• Lower the squeegee by means of the proper lever (g. 8, ref. 11): the suction motor comes on;
• Press the drive lever (g. 8, ref. 6) placed under the handgrip: the drive motor is started and the machine starts moving forward;
• Adjust the running speed via the potentiometer (g. 8, ref. 1);
• If you wish to engage reverse gear during work with the squeegee lowered, you must rst stop and raise the squeegee;
• Check periodically that the detergent solution reaches the brushes/rollers and ll with solution if it runs out;
• Check cleaning quality during work and adjust, as required, the ow of solution sent to the brushes/rollers (by rotating the
cursor (g. 8, ref. 3)) and the pressure exerted by the head-brushes on the oor (via the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) until
the test pressure indicator (g. 8, ref. 8) indicates the required level).
In working conditions, if the emergency switch is accidentally pressed and the machine is switched o, when it is switched on again the
brush button must be pressed to re-activate the brushes. Never leave the machine stationary with the head lowered and the brushes in
motion: the oor could be damaged. Whenever you ll up the solution tank, always empty the recovery tank. Do not leave the machine
stationary with the suction motor on and the solution cock turned on.
• If the warning led (g. 8, ref. 9) starts ashing, it means that the storage batteries are getting at. Therefore, it is necessary to
recharge them; if you keep on working, the batteries could become damaged irreparably;
• If the suction unit revs up but does not perform suction, it means that the oater has cut in. In this case the recovery tank must
be emptied (see specic paragraph).
If for any reason the battery voltage drops considerably below the level envisaged, even temporarily, the drive lock may cut in. In this case
the machine must be switched o and then on again.
At the end of work:
• Move the cock lever (g. 8, ref. 3) to the position “CLOSED”;
• Release the drive lever (g. 8, ref. 6) placed beneath the handle: the drive motor switches o and the machine stops;
• Raise the head by pressing the brush up-down button (g. 8, ref. 5) on the arrow up to stop the brushes (or drive discs or rollers)
and raise them to prevent them becoming permanently distorted;
• Let the suction motor run for at least 2 minutes to make sure that it is completely dry;
• By raising the lever (g. 8, ref. 11), lift the squeegee from the ground to prevent continuous pressure causing distortion of the
drying blades and to switch o the suction motor;
• Press the main switch (g. 8, ref. 2) to disable all the machine functions;
• Engage the parking brake via the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
• Empty and clean the recovery tank.

The machine is provided with additional functions that can be activated by removing some fuses inside the control panel (g. 14).
FU6 Fuse Function
When fuse FU6 is removed, the electronic control of the head is enabled, in particular the following functions:
a. Brush timer: if the drive is released, the brushes will stop after a few seconds; to reactivate the brushes, simply pull the drive
lever.
b. Battery protection: when the batteries are at, rst the red led comes on, then the brushes lock; in this case a continuous buzzer

14
ENGLISH
reminds the user that the head must be raised to prevent damage to the brushes, since the drive continues to operate. The
brush motors are re-enabled by reset of the key (g. 8, ref. 2) if the batteries have sucient load and voltage.
FU7 Fuse Function
Gel battery activation (the discharge voltages are varied for operation with the gel batteries).
FU8 Fuse Function
Water is delivered to the brushes only when the drive is activated.
Some Useful Suggestions For The Optimal Use Of The Machine
If the oor presents a particularly resistant type of dirt, it is possible to make the machine wash and dry it in separate stages.
Pre-Washing
• Turn on the water cock;
• Switch on the brush motor and lower the head;
• Adjust the head pressure, which depends on the type of oor and dirt to be removed;
• Start washing with the suction motor o and the squeegee lifted.
The ow of water must be dosed in proportion to the desired advance speed: the slower the machine goes, less water comes down.
Insist on washing the dirtiest spots: in this way the detergent has the time to perform its chemical action for the detachment and
suspension of dirt, and the brushes to develop an eective mechanical action.
Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction unit operating pass again on the same area you have previously washed. In this way you
obtain a result that is similar to a thorough washing and the following operations of ordinary maintenance will certainly take less
time. To wash and dry at the same time, operate the brushes, water, squeegee and suction motor simultaneously.
Never leave the machine unmanned with the suction unit running.
Draining O Dirty Water
Use the individual protection devices suitable for the operation to be performed. Perform the draining operations with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.

The drain hose of the recovery tank is located at the rear left side of the machine. To empty the above-mentioned tank:
• Take the machine next to a drain;
• Stop the machine and press the emergency button (g. 8, ref. 2); engage the parking brake by means of the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
• Take o the tank cap (g. 15, ref. 1) from the recovery tank (g. 15, ref. 5);
• Detach the drain hose (g. 15, ref. 2) from its seat, holding it in correspondence with the xing spring (g. 15, ref. 3) and pull it
horizontally;
• Keeping the hose end as much high as possible, take o the drain cock (g. 15, ref. 4) from the hose by unscrewing it;

15
ENGLISH
• Lower the hose end gradually, checking the intensity of the jet of water with reference to its height from the ground;
• Check the amount of residual dirt in the recovery tank and wash it inside, if necessary. To facilitate the cleaning and total drain,
it is better to unhook it from the solution tank and lift it;
• When the dirty water has been totally drained, lower the recovery tank (if it has been previously lifted) and hook it again to the
solution tank;
• Put back the cap (g. 15, ref. 1) on the recovery tank, making sure that it is perfectly closed;
• Close the drain hose (g. 15, ref. 2) with the cock (g. 15, ref. 4) screw-tightening it; check that it is perfectly closed and ret the
hose in its housing.
While washing the recovery tank never remove the suction lter (g. 18, ref. 2) from its seat and never direct the jet of water towards the
lter itself. Now it is possible to proceed with a new washing and drying action.
Draining O Clean Water
Use the individual protection devices suitable for the operation to be performed. Perform the draining o operations with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.
To empty the tank:
• Take the machine next to a drain;
• Stop the machine and press the emergency button (g. 8, ref. 2); engage the parking brake by means of the pedal (g. 8, ref. 12);
• Detach the drain hose (g. 16, ref. 1) from its seat, holding it in correspondence with the xing spring (g. 16, ref. 2) and pull it
horizontally;
• Keeping the hose end as much high as possible, take o the drain cock (g. 16, ref. 3) from the hose by unscrewing it;
• Lower the hose end gradually, checking the intensity of the jet of water with reference to its height from the ground;
• When the contents have been totally drained from the solution tank, close the drain hose with the cock (g. 16, ref. 3) screw-
tightening it; check that it is perfectly closed and ret the hose in its housing.
The water and detergent solution can also be used to wash the recovery tank.
Periods Of Inactivity
If the machine is to remain unused for a long time, the squeegee and brushes (or drive discs or rollers) must be dismounted, washed
and kept in a dry place (preferably packed in a plastic envelope or sheet), sheltered from dust. Park the machine with the parking
brake engaged.
Furthermore, make sure that the tanks are completely empty and perfectly clean. Recharge the batteries completely before putting
them in the storehouse. During long periods of inactivity recharge the batteries (once every two months at least) to preserve the
storage batteries constantly at the maximum charge.
If the batteries are not recharged periodically, they may become damaged irreparably.
Maintenance And Battery Recharging
Do not check the battery charge by producing sparks. The batteries give o inammable vapours: put out any re or
embers before checking and lling up the batteries. Perform the operations described below in airy environments.
To avoid permanent damages to the batteries, never let them get at completely. Remember that when the proper red led (g. 8,
ref. 9) ashes on the control panel, it is necessary to recharge the batteries.
