On consignment of the machine
When the machine is delivered to the customer, an immediate check
must be performed to ensure all the material mentioned in the shipping
documents has been received, in addition to verifying that the machine
has not been damaged 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
SMG 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 suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully
and read it again 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 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.

GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
The regulations below must be carefully followed in order to avoid harm to the operator and damage to the machine.
WARNING:
•Read the labels on the machine carefully. Do not cover them for any reason and replace them immediately if they become damaged.
•The machine must be used exclusively by authorised and trained personnel.
•Do not use the machine on surfaces with an inclination greater than the one shown on the plate.
•The machine is not suitable for cleaning rough or uneven floors. Do not use the machine on slopes.
•If the power supply cable of the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorised service centre immediately.
•In the event of danger, quickly press the emergency button on the command panel.
•For all maintenance interventions, switch off the machine and disconnect the battery connector and/or the power supply cable.
•Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device.
•During the working of the machine, pay attention to other people and especially to children.
•Only use the brushes supplied with the machine, or those specified in the "CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES" paragraph of the instruction
manual. The use of other brushes could compromise safety levels.
WARNING:
•The machine is not suitable for use by children and persons with reduced physical, mental and sensory capabilities, or people who lack experience and
knowledge.
•The machine must not be used or stored outdoors, in damp conditions or directly exposed to rain.
•The storage temperature must be between -25°C and +55°C; do not store outdoors in damp conditions.

•Do not knock against shelving or scaffolding, where there is a danger of falling objects. The operator must always be equipped with the appropriate
safety devices (gloves, shoes, helmet, goggles, etc.).
•The machine is designed to carry out the washing and drying operations simultaneously. Different operations should only be carried out in areas where
the passage of unauthorised persons is prohibited. Signal the presence of damp floors with suitable signs.
•If the machine does not work properly, check this is not caused by failure to carry out routine maintenance. Otherwise, ask for intervention of the
authorised technical assistance centre.
•If you need to replace any components, request the ORIGINAL spare parts from an Authorised dealer and/or Retailer.

•Do not use acid or basic solutions that could damage the machine and/or harm people.
•Have the machine checked by an authorised technical assistance centre every year.
•When disposing of consumable materials, observe the laws and regulations in force.
•When your machine has reached the end of its long working life, dispose of the materials it contains (especially oils, batteries and electronic
components) in an appropriate manner, taking into account that the machine itself was constructed using 100% recyclable materials.
•The batteries must be removed from the machine before its disposal. The batteries must be disposed of in a safe manner, fully observing the laws and
regulations in force.
