Introductory comment
The SMg 120 Base is a floor scrubbing machine which, by means of the
mechanical action of the rotating brush and the chemical action of a
water/detergent solution, can clean any type of flooring. As it advances, it
also collects any removed dirt as well as 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.

To assemble the brushes of the brush head unit, proceed as follows:
1. Check that the brush head body is lifted off the ground
2. Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the “0” position
3. Engage the parking brake located on the left side of the machine
4. Remove the key from the instrument panel
ATTENTION: During this operation, check there are no people or objects near
the brush.
5. Turn the knobs (1) in an anti-clockwise direction
6. Use the handle (2) to remove the right splash guard cover
7. With the brush head up, insert the brushes in the plate housing beneath the brush head, 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: During this operation, check there are no people or objects near
the brush.
ATTENTION: Make sure the brushes are correctly connected. If this is not the
case, the machine could move in an irregular, sudden manner.
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.
ATTENTION: users are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to hands.
