On consignment of the machine
When the machine is consigned 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
suffered damage 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.
Introductory comment
MR is a scrubbing machine that is able to clean a wide variety of types
of flooring and types of dirt by using the mechanical action of two disc or
cylindrical brushes, depending on the model, and the chemical action of
a water-detergent solution. As it advances, it also collects the dirt
removed and the detergent solution not absorbed by the floor.
The machine must be used only for this purpose. Even the best
machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in good working order.
We therefore suggest you to read this instruction booklet carefully and re-
read it whenever difficulties arise while using the machine. If necessary,
remember that our assistance service (organised in collaboration with our
dealers) is alwaysavailable foradvice ordirect intervention.
Intended use
The scrubbing machine is exclusively designed for the professional
cleaning of surfaces and floors in industrial, commercial and public
environments. The machine is only suitable for use in closed (or at least
covered) places.
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
inflammable liquids within places with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. In addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport for
people or objects.

22. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
The solution tank can be filled in three different ways:
1. Unscrew the filler cap (1) and fill using a hose.
2. Using the rubber cap (2), this supports the water hose on its own, be sure to unscrew the cap to allow
the proper vent of air.
3. Using on request (optional) a tank clean water refilling system via a quick coupling (3), FFF with float
to control the overflow.

23. DETERGENT SOLUTION
Remove the filler cap (1) and check the solution filter is correctly assembled.
Check that the filter cap, under the solution tank in the front right of the machine, is properly closed.
Fill it with clean water at a temperature not exceeding 50C. The amount inside the tank can be seen by
means of the level pipe on the front left of the seat. The solution tank has a maximum capacity of about
110 litres. 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 that is necessary.
WARNING: 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.
ATTENTION: Protective gloves should always be worn before handling
detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious injury to hands.
ATTENTION: always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of
foam, before starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid into
the recovery tank. Do not use pure acids.
24. REGULATING THE DETERGENT
Firstly, fully open the outflow of the tap, by means of the lever (3) on the steering column. During the first
few meters, check that the amount of solution to wet the floor is sufficient, but not too much that it exits the
splash-guard, the adjustment of the detergent application is made by means of lever (3) (shifting it
downwards increases the flow, shifting it upwards decreases it). 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.
25. ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE
For packaging reasons, the squeegee is supplied disassembled from the machine, and must be
assembled as shown in the figure.
Raise the squeegee connection by means of the left lever (1) turning it clockwise into the vertical position.
Make sure the parking brake is engaged and that the main switch is OFF. First thread left pin (2) of the
squeegee into the left slot on the arm and then right pin (3) into the right slot, being careful to keep the
spring and the washer above the arm’s flat bar. This can be simplified by first loosening the handwheel on
the pin. Then re-tighten the handwheel to block the squeegee in place.
Insert the squeegee tube in the appropriate sleeve (4).

26. SQUEEGEE INCLINATION
During working operation, the rear rubber is slightly tilted backwards (by about 5mm) in a uniform way for
its whole length.
If it is necessary to increase the bend of the rubber in the central part, you must tilt the squeegee
backwards, rotating the adjuster screw (1) clockwise.
27. ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE SUPPORT HEIGHT
The height of the squeegee must be adjusted on the basis of the state of wear and tear of the rubber.
Carry out the following operations for adjustment:
1. unscrew the locking nut
2. raise or lower the wheels (1) by sliding them on the slot of the support
3. block it by tightening the locking nut once the required height is reached.
NB: to facilitate the operation, completely lower the squeegee and put a spacer of a few millimetres (2 to 4 mm
dependingon thetype of rubber) under the wheel.
28. BRUSH ASSEMBLY (MR60 B VERSIONS)
1. Make sure the parking brake is engaged and that the main switch is OFF
2. Raise the brush head by turning the righthand lever (1) for the counter-clockwise movement of the
brush head.
WARNING: during this operation, verify that there are no people or objects
near the brush.
3. With the brush head in a high position put the brushes in the housing of the plate under the brush
head, turning them until the three buttons go into the niches of the plate itself; turn the brush
clockwise until the pin is pushed towards the coupling spring and is locked into place.
WARNING: You are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk
of serious injury to your hands.
29. WASHING BRUSH HEAD CASING ASSEMBLY (MR 65-75-85-100 B VERSIONS)
Make sure the parking brake is engaged and that the main switch is OFF. Raise the brush head by turning
the righthand lever for the counter-clockwise movement of the brush head. The casing of the washing base
that for reasons of packaging are supplied disassembled from the machine, must be mounted as shown.

30. DISC BRUSH ASSEMBLY (MR 65-75-85-100 B VERSIONS)
1. Make sure the parking brake is engaged and that the main switch is OFF
2. Raise the brush head by turning the righthand lever (1) for the counter-clockwise movement of the
brush head.
WARNING: During this operation, check there are no people or objects near
the brush.
3. With the base up, insert the brushes in the plate housing beneath the base, turning them 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 photo shows the rotation direction to hook up the right-hand brush; for
the left-hand one, rotate in the opposite direction.
ATTENTION: You are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the risk
of serious injury to your hands.
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.
31. SERVICE BRAKE AND PARKING BRAKE
The machine has an electronic braking system. To brake, in normal conditions, just remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal. If this service brake is working badly, or if necessary, activate the brake pedal (13)
pushing it downwards. To engage the parking brake, press the brake pedal (13) and lock it by pulling the
lever (14) to the left. The red indicator light on the instrument panel will switch on.
WARNING: If you try to leave with the parking brake on, the machine will not move;
always disengage the parking brake before starting to work or moving
32. BLINKING LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
The machine can be equipped with a blinking light that turns on automatically when the key in the main
switch is turned on.
