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.

ATTENTION! The pressure must be chosen according to the type of floor
and the amount of dirt. Increasing the pressure results in greater wear and
tear on the brushes and higher power consumption (for further
information, read “CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES”)
19. SOLUTION TANK
Remove the filler plug (1) at the back of the seat and check that the solution filter is installed properly.
Check that the drain pipe cap (2) located at the rear of the machine is properly closed.
WARNING: The recovery tank must be completely empty each time the
solution tank is filled.
20. FILLING THE DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK
Proceed as follows to fill the solution tank:
1. Turn the main switch key anticlockwise to the "0" position
2. Engage the parking brake
3. Remove the filler cap (1) and check that the solution filter is fitted correctly
4. Fill it with clean water at a temperature not exceeding 50°C.
It is possible to fill the tank without having to constantly watch the water level, using the optional rapid filling
system (2); this system is fitted with a float to control overflow. The water pipe (previously modified) is
inserted into the quick release coupling; remember to unscrew the cap (1) to allow proper air venting.
5. Check that the quick release coupling (4) under the detergent tank is properly fitted
6. Unscrew the cap (3) of the canister located at the rear of the seat and fill with liquid detergent as
indicated on the label supplied with the machine. Check the screw cap is well closed, to avoid any
liquid leaking out while the machine is being used.
ATTENTION: The FSS automatic dosage system is designed to work with any
liquid detergent. For this reason, the percentage of detergent in the solution is
subject to a maximum error of 5% compared with the nominal value selected.
WARNING: The dosing system is suitable for frequent maintenance cleaning.
Acid or alkaline maintenance detergent tank be used with pH values between 4
and 10 and that do not contain: oxidising agents, chlorine or bromine,
formaldehyde, mineral solvents.
The detergents used must be suitable for use with scrubbing machines.
Wash the circuit with water after use if the system is not used daily. The system
is excludable. In case of sporadic use of detergents with pH between 1-3 or 11-
14, use the scrubbing machine in the traditional way by adding the detergent in
the clean water tank and excluding the dosing circuit.

MACHINE PREPARATION
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.
In addition, you are advised to always use low foam detergents.
Do not use pure acids or detergents with a stronger gradation than that
indicated on the label supplied.
ATTENTION: Protective gloves should always be worn before handling
detergents or acidic or alkaline solutions to avoid serious injury to hands.
21. REGULATING THE DETERGENT
First, fully open the tap in the rear part of the machine by turning the knob (1) anticlockwise. Choose the
required work programme using the I-Drive device (between programs "C-D-E"); press the accelerator
pedal to operate the brushes, the machine starts to move and the detergent solution starts to come out.
During the first few metres make the following adjustments:
1. Regulate the flow of detergent solution to the brushes by rotating the upper knob (2) clockwise. The
quantity of solution varies from a minimum of 110 litres/hour to a maximum of 460 litres/hour, with 7
dosing points. The right solution flow should be proportional to the degree of dirt on the floor. In
addition, remember that the time available for continuous working depends on the quantity of water in
the tank. For example, the work autonomy with a full tank (about 275 litres) and the detergent flow set
to 290 litres/hour is approx 57 minutes.
2. Regulate the percentage of liquid detergent in the solution by rotating the lower knob (3) clockwise.
The percentage of detergent in the solution varies from a minimum of 0.5 % to a maximum of 3.5 %
with 7 set dosing points. The lowest value 0.5% is suitable for standard detergents, while the 1% value
is suitable for concentrated and diluted detergent (as shown on the label provided on the machine).
Use high detergent percentages to remove very greasy dirt from the floor.
To avoid any tampering with the set regulation, you can remove the two switches and cover the two holes
with the plastic caps supplied with the machine.
WARNING: Verify that the tap lever (1) is fully open; the lever is located at the
rear of the steering column.
WARNING: In the event that the automatic detergent dosing system is out of
order, or if you choose not to use this device, the tap (4) may be used. Also turn
the knobs (2) and (3) anticlockwise, to the “OFF” position.
WARNING: Before regulating the solution, check there is detergent in the
relevant canister, and that the water tap is turned on.
