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
My50 is a scrubbing machine that is able to clean a wide variety of
flooring and dirt types by using the mechanical action of at least one disk
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 only be used for this purpose. Even the best
machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in good working
order. We therefore recommend you read this instruction booklet
carefully, and consult it whenever difficulties arise while using the
machine. If necessary, remember that our customer assistance service
(organised in collaboration with our dealers) is always available for
advice or direct intervention.
INTENDED USE
The floor scrubbing machine is designed for the professional cleaning of
surfaces and floors in industrial, commercial and public environments
only. It 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 in places with an explosive atmosphere. In addition,
it is not suitable as a means of transport for people or objects.

REGULATING THE DETERGENT
To regulate the flow of detergent solution, push the tap rod lever (1) o
n the rear left side of the solution
tank (push the lever to increase the flow of solution onto the brush); when you press the dead man
's
levers,
the brush is enabled and the machine begins to move. During the first few meters check that the
amount of solu
tion is sufficient to wet the floor, but not excessive to exit the splash guard. Bear in mind
that the correct amount of solution always
depends on the nature of the floor, the degree of dirt and the
forward speed.
ATTENTION: Make sure the solution tap is turned off by pulling the tap rod
lever (1) after using the machine; otherwise, the detergent solution will continue
coming out (versions without the optional solenoid valve kit).
The solution flow can be mechanically limited by modifying the
position of the elastic ring (3) on the lever
(1). To do this, remove the rear casing (2). The detergent solution capacity varies according to t
he three
steps indicated on the label on the rear
of the machine.
19.

2. Check the squeegee connection is raised from the floor; if necessary, lift it by means of lever (2)
3. Lift the squeegee and fit the left stud (3) in the left-hand slot on the squeegee connection
4.
Rotate the squeegee, then fit the right stud (4) in the right
-
hand slot
on the squeegee connection,
keeping the spring and washer above the connection. This can be simplified by first loosening the
handwheel on the pin
5. Then retighten the handwheel to block the squeegee in place.
6. Insert the suction tube (5) in the appropriate sleeve in the squeegee
ATTENTION: these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to
avoid any possible contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.

NOT equipped with an overflow device, because the capacity of the dirty water recovery
tank is gr
eater than the capacity of the solution tank. In particular cases, there is a mechanical device
(float) on the rear wall of the recovery tank; w
hen the dirty water level is too high, this device shuts off the
air to the suction motor in order to protect it
- in this case, the noise made by the suction motor will be
deeper. Turn off the suction motor via the switch (1). Then empty the dirty water r
ecovery tank by means
of the special drainage tube. It is good practice, when restoring the level of the solutio
n tank, to empty the
dirty water recovery tank via the special drainage tube.

FORWARD MOVEMENT
The traction of these machines is obtained by
means of the brush which, working with the right weight
distribution, is able to drag the machi
ne forwards.
ATTENTION: when making even brief reverse movements, verify that the
squeegee is raised.

AT THE END OF THE WORK
At the end of the work
, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following
operations:
1. Turn off the detergent solution tap (1) on the rear part of the machine
2. Lift the squeegee by inserting the squeegee cable tie-rod (2) in its seat on the back of the
machine
3. Deactivate the suction motor via the relevant switch (3) on the command panel in the rear part of
the machine
4. Disconnect the machine battery connector (battery-operated version)
5. Disconnect the power cable from the mains socket (electric versions)
6. Take the machine to the designated place for draining off the dirty water
ATTENTION: Make sure the solution tap is turned off after using the machine;
otherwise, the detergent solution will continue coming out (versions without the
optional solenoid valve kit).
7.
Disconnect the tube (4) from its seat, unscrew the drainage cap and empty the dirt
y water
recovery tank
ATTENTION: This operation must be carried out wearing gloves to protect
against contact with dangerous solutions.
8.
Slide the vacuum tube (5) from the squeegee sleeve
9. Remove the squeegee from its support arm by loosening the handwheel (6)
10. Clean the squeegee unit and the rubber blades thoroughly with a jet of water
11. After cleaning the squeegee and rubbers, replace the squeegee on the initial support, firstly
inserting the left pin of the squeegee in the left slot of the arm, then the right pin in the right slot,
being careful to keep the spring and washer on the plate of the arm. This can be simplified by first
loosening the handwheel on the pin. Then retighten the handwheel to block the squeegee in
place.
12. Finally, insert the squeegee tube in the special sleeve
13.
Park the machine in a closed place, on a flat and level surface, where it cannot cause h
arm to
people or damage to other property, but also be protected from any accidental fall of objects.
ATTENTION: Park the machine in an enclosed place, on a flat and level
surface; near the machine there must be no objects that could either damage
it, or be damaged through contact with it.
ATTENTION: To bring the machine to its idle position, tilt it backwards by
pressing on the handles (7) until the small wheel (8) is resting on the floor.
