TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The MAXIMA2017 is a oor scrubbing machine that can work on various types of oor and dirt thanks to
the mechanical action of a brush and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution. As it advances,
it collects the dirt removed, along with the detergent solution not absorbed by the ooring itself. The
machine must only be used for this purpose.
INTENDED USE
This scrubbing machine was designed and built for the cleaning (scrubbing and drying) of smooth,
compact ooring in the commercial, residential and industrial sectors by a qualied operator in proven
safety conditions. The scrubbing machine is not suitable for cleaning rugs or carpet oors. It is only
suitable for use in closed (or at least covered) places.
ATTENTION: the machine is not suitable for use in the rain, or under water jets.
IT IS FORBIDDEN to use the machine for picking up dangerous dusts or inammable liquids in
places with an explosive atmosphere. In addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport for
people or objects.
SAFETY
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can
be e󰀨ective without the full cooperation of the person directly responsible for machine operation. The
majority of occupational accidents that happen either in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by
failure to respect the most basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most e󰀨ective guarantee
against accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.

NB: Figure 1 indicates the rotation direction for decreasing the distance between the squeegee
support and the oor. This distance can be increased by turning it in the opposite direction.
NB: by decreasing the distance between the squeegee support and the oor, the rubber blades
present in the squeegee body move closer to the oor.
NB: the right-hand and left-hand knobs must be rotated the same number of times, so that the
squeegee is parallel to the oor when it is working.
NB: make sure the adjustment is correct by looking at the instrument (2) on the squeegee body
(Fig.2).

EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
Used on all types of oors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.).
The polypropylene is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in
wet conditions.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very
dirty oors. To avoid oor damage, work only with the pressure strictly necessary.
BRISTLE THICKNESS
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth oors or oors with small joints.
On uneven oors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the
gaps more easily.
Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no
longer able to penetrate and clean deep down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush
tends to jump.
PAD HOLDER
The pad holder is recommended for cleaning shiny surfaces.
There are two types of pad holder:
1. The traditional pad holder is tted with a series of anchor points that allow the abrasive oor pad to
be held and dragged while working.
2. The CENTRE LOCK type pad holder not only has anchor points, but also a snap-type central
locking system in plastic that allows the abrasive oor pad to be perfectly centred and held without
any risk of it becoming detached. This type of pad holder is recommended above all for machines
with more than one brush, where the centring of the abrasive discs is di󰀩cult.
