ADJUSTMENTS AND INSPECTIONS / ALL MODELS
READ THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Inspection Electrical Equipment
1. Check functionality electrical equipment:
switches, motors, solenoid valve.
2. Check functionality control coupling-uncoupling
brush, where this is assembled.
3. Check the condition of the fuses placed behind
the rear grey panel
4. Check functionality chopper (traction machine)
5. If necessary set the chopper card proceeding
as follows:
•Lift the machine (traction wheels must be free)
•Take off the rear screws to open the panel;
take off the fixing screw and lower the
complete electric group
•Insert the tester prods (V-DC) onto the faston
M+ and M- of the chopper card
•Switch on through the general key
•Adjust trimmer “ACC” (acceleration) rotating
the left screw up to the end, then position it on
45°
6. Press onto the lever placed on the handle bar in
forward movement, until the release of the
drive relay is heard, then stop.
7. Adjust the trimmer Vmin (minimum)
until
the value on the tester is read, which is
between 3-5 V.

8. Push the lever on the handle bar completely
forward, read on the tester the tension value:
this should be equal to the battery tension,
otherwise act upon the trimmer Vmax
(maximum voltage), until the tester indicates
the correct value.
9. Recheck the minimum values with the
trimmer Vmin. Bring the lever back to try the
drive: check that the measured tension is less
than the maximum value.
10. Check the motor braking releasing the drive:
the machine must stop within 1 metre.
Inspection Water Supply
1. Check the cleanness of the transparent solution filter.Check also
eventual water leakages.
2. Fill completely with water the solution tank.
3. Check the tightness of the hoses, the solenoid valve* and the
complete opening and closing of the water cock.
* THE SOLENOID VALVE IS AVAILABLE ONLY ON MACHINES WITH
KIT
4. Check that the detergent solution, when the cock is open, arrives
with continuity onto the floor.
5. With the closed cock, check that there are not any solution
leakages
Inspection Suction
1. Check the cleanliness and functionality of the filter float.
2. Check the air seal of the cover on the recovery tank.
3. Check the connections and their tightness of the
s
uction hoses
and the squeegee hose.
4. Check the tightness of the hose and of the exhaust plug.

Adjustment brush – SINGLE BRUSH 450-500 B-BT / MOVEMENT SEMI-AUTOMATIC B
1. Adjust the spring belt tightener at a length of 27mm (1,06
inches) in compression.
2. The adjustment lever for the height of the brush base placed
under the machine, has to be adjusted always with the brush
base lowered onto the floor, without the brush. Check that
the lifting lever is in the highest point of the sliding slit, without
hitting or forcing onto the frame. Furthermore, check that it slides
to the right and to the left, with the lever stop being free.
3. To get the correct functioning, act upon the screw M8 placed on
the lever under the machine, by screwing down or unscrewing until
the rear lever is brought into its correct position, then block the
lock nut M8.
4. The brush adjustment for the machines without traction and
therefore with a movement depending on the brush rotation, has
to be carried out as follows:
•Lower the brush base, applying in the front part of the cover a
metal bar of 15mm between the cover and the floor, and
unscrew the screw M6 on top of the cover.
•Unscrew the screw M8 of the brush inclination, push the complete
base downwards and block the screw previously unscrewed, screw
down the screw M6 until it touches lightly the base.
•Couple the brush, always with the brush base in working position,
and unscrew the screw M8 for the brush inclination, then block
the screw as soon as the brush base fixing is obtained.
•Adjust the traction effect on hand of the screw M6, then block the
lock nut.

•Adjust the cup head screw brush rest until the head just
touches the even part of the brush on which it rests. The
allowance between the head of the screw and the brush must
be at most 1mm-2mm, when the brush is coupled and lowered.
5. For the models with automatic traction apply the metal bar which
should be brought to 25mm in the front part, loosen the screw
M8 of the base inclination and after having noticed the correct
base adjustment, block the screw again.
6. Take off the metal bar and couple the brush, loosen the screw M8
of the brush base inclination, after having noticed its correct
adjustment, then block the screw. Adjust the screw M6
placed on
top of the brush cover, with the brush functioning, in order that
the machine does not move.
7. Block the lock nut M6.
Adjustment brush and base - G452-502 B-BT / MOVEMENT SEMI-AUTOMATIC B
For the machines B, that means with a semi-automatic movement,
which depends on the brushes rotation, in case the machine should
not have a straight movement, or should this be insufficient, carry out
the following operations:
1. With brush base lowered, complete with its brushes, unscrew the
screw M8 on the right (screw brush base inclination), and
block it as soon as the correct base adjustment is noticed. This
operation is necessary to eliminate eventual defects of the
machine movement.
2. If the traction has be increased or reduced, operate on the plaque
on top of the brush base, loosening the nut M10. Unscrewing the
screw a reduction of the traction is obtained, while screwing down
more an increase of the traction is given.
PS: DO NOT MODIFY EXCESSIVELY THE TRACTION
CHARACTERISTICS, OTHERWISE THE BRUSHES DO NOT FUNCTION
CORRECTLY.

3. The dimension of the spring belt tightener should be always of
27mm in compression.
The models equipped with automatic traction, that means BT, carry
out the same operation what the brushes inclination concerns.
PS: As the brushes are assembled on flexible couplings, with
automatic traction, these models do not need other adjustments
regarding the brushes group.
Adjustment sweeping system 50BS – BTS semiautomatic drive BS
For the BS types (semiautomatic drive) in case there isn’t an
uniform adherence of the brushes on the floor so a incomplete
cleaning function act as:
•lower the sweeping system
•Unscrew the right M8 screw
•Let the cylinders adhere equally to the floor
•Block the M8 screw
Adjust the traction power, put the inclination lightly in the front part
the deck and block the M8 screw.
For the automatic traction types (BTS) make the same adjustment
for a complete equal cylinder adherence, then check the work
surface of both cylinders.
•Wet a little the cylinders (with water)
•Bring the machine on a dry levelled surface
•Lower the sweeping system until the cylinder touch the floor.
Rise the cylinders and check the imprint left. It has to be a
rectangle and uniform on both sides
•In case you have to modify the set up of the system,
unscrew the M8 at the left of the sweeping system, adjust
the deck in the parallel position, so block the screw

To help the disassembly of the cylindrical brushes, unscrew the
screw until the lever is at the first hole of the pressure adjustment.
Adjustment brushes base
1. Assemble the joint chain of transmission so that a distance of 2
mm. between two hubs is obtained and tyre toothed star is
between two hubs, works correctly, avoiding vibration and shift.
2. Fix dowels and adjuster nuts.
3. Check tension of transmission belt working of screw M8, so that
the thread goes out from support of about 28-29 mm.
Adjustment of the brake
1. Adjustment brake pads: check the braking uniformity, with the
brake inserted, trying to rotate the machine both right and left,
checking that the wheels remain blocked in the same way.
2. Adjust the range of the brake handle acting upon the two
adjusters of the brake cable, one placed under the frame and the
other one behind the electric panel.
Adjustment Squeegee
1. Adjust the inclination register of the rear squeegee rubber when
the squeegee is in function, so that this has an even bending.
Block through the adjuster nut.

2. Adjust the height of the wheels with the suitable hand wheels
checking that the rubber has an inclination of around 30°-45°
and that it is not too much pressed down onto the floor nor too
much lifted.
3. Check that the wheels of the squeegee support are in working
position, that is to say that they touch the floor.
Final inspection
Check all the functions: washing, drying, forward and backward movement
