2. MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS AND TECHNICAL DATA
2.1. MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
An adhesive machine identification label containing indelible “CE” marking details is affixed on the rear side
of the machine next to the handle.
The label must never be removed and should always be kept legible. If the label is
damaged a duplicate should be ordered. The machine may be sold without the label.
2.2. DESCRIPTION AND COMPONENTS
The scrubber machine Ecosmall has been designed to clean flat surfaces by means of washing followed by
washing water suction. The electric drive system is equipped with a set of batteries supplying power to the
brushes motor and to the suction motor.
The machine can be equipped with either two brushes or one brush which can be operated to scrub the floor
with water and detergent. When the machine moves forwards, the squeegee or back brush, in contact with
the floor, takes up any water by suction for its subsequent delivery to the recovery tank.
Through the control panel, all the main machine functions can be activated. In particular, it is possible to:
Adjust the forward movement speed via the special potentiometer;
Select the forward or backward movement direction;
Display the battery charge;
Activate brush rotation (controlled simultaneously with machine movement);
Start vacuum suction;
Turn the machine on and off.
The main components of the machine are:

3.6 SAFETY SYSTEMS
The machine is equipped with the following safety systems:
Float: The recovery tank is equipped with a float which prevents suction in case of overfilling,
warning the operator via a sound alarm; in this case, to restart the machine the tank must be
emptied first (see section 4.7.5 WATER DRAINING);
Solenoid valve (OPTIONAL): The machine is equipped with a solenoid valve letting scrubbing
water out only after the brushes have been powered on, to prevent accidental leaking;
Voltage input buzzer (OPTIONAL): The machine is equipped with an input voltage buzzer causing
the machine to go off when the battery charge goes below a certain value, preventing the battery
from going fully flat and preserving its long-term life.
3.7 SAFETY DIAGNOSTIC SIGNALLING
The scrubbing machine is equipped with a system that ensures that all the errors detected by the machine
function control electronic board are signalled by a flashing LED.
Each error can be identified by counting the number of flashes before the first long pause. Flashing stops
when the fault is corrected and in certain cases, when the machine is turned off and then on again.
The damages and faults identified by the board prevent the operation relay closure and cause its opening -
ensuring safe operating conditions.
The diagnostic LED is located on the electronic board itself, therefore, to obtain access to it the control panel
must be removed (fig. 3.7).

3.8 RESIDUAL DANGERS
Ever since the design phase, FIORENTINI has analysed all the possible dangers related to machine use in
order to eliminate or at the very least minimise the risk of injuries for machine operators. In order to minimise
the risk associated with residual dangers, danger signs and indications of accident-prevention systems and
procedures have been provided for machine operators.
DANGER OF CRUSHING
Crushing risks are possible:
during scrubbing brushes adjustment;
during battery charging due to possible tank falling risks.
During side brush adjustment, the operator must ensure that the ignition key is not in its slot in the
control panel, to prevent unwanted machine starts. During battery charging, the operator must keep
all body parts out of the battery compartment.
DANGER OF CRUSHING AND SHEARING
Crushing and shearing risks are possible:
during squeegee adjustment.
During squeegee adjustment, ensure that no-one close to the machine could operate the device up-
and down-stroke controls.
DANGER OF OVERTURNING
Machine overturning is possible:
during normal machine operation when going over slopes with a higher gradient than the
recommended value and when the machine is used to clean uneven/bumpy surfaces (see
3.2).
Do not use the machine to scrub surfaces with gradients exceeding 10% at
speeds exceeding 3 km/h or bumpy or uneven surfaces likely to affect the
stability of the machine.
FIORENTINI declines all responsibility for accidents involving persons or property caused by
machine use on stability-affecting floors. The buyer must provide suitable signage to inform
the user about the condition of the working surfaces.
