2. FEATURES AND TECHNICAL DATA OF THE MACHINE
2.1. IDENTIFYING THE MACHINE
A silver label is stuck on the protection case of the steering column and clearly shows the data
referring to the “CE” brand.
The label has never to be removed and should always be kept readable. In case
of damage t is necessary to ask for a duplicate. The scrubber machine cannot be
sold without the label.
2.2. DESCRIPTION AND COMPONENTS
The scrubber machine –PINKY 26 - has been designed for the cleaning of all flat surfaces by
means of washing and suction of the washing water. A series of batteries feeds all engines and
electric devices.
The machine is equipped with two rotating brushes which wash the surface by means of water and
detergent. Whilst the machine is running forward, the back brush (squeegee) picks the water up
that is directly sucked into the recovery tank.
Thanks to the dashboard the operator can control all the machine functions and a series of LEDs
shows to the operator the battery status or the errors detected by the electronic card.
The operator can control all the main machine functions and in particular:
switch the machine on and off;
select speed;
start suction;
start brushes;
select forward/reverse gear;
start traction;
start service and parking brake;

ING.O. FIORENTINI S.r.l. suggests to train the operator before using the machine. The operator
also must be trained about safety rules and carefully read this manual.
ING. O. FIORENTINI S.r.l. is not responsible for any possible damage to people
and/or things caused by the non-observance of the instructions dealt within this
manual.
3.5 PROTECTION AND WARNING DEVICES
It is absolutely forbidden to tamper or disconnect safety and warning
devices while the machine is working;
It is important to check periodically safety and warning devices.
Brushes Protections
PINKY 26 is equipped with two rotating brushes made of nylon. The
machine cannot reach dangerous areas thanks to one fixed steel
protection and one fixed plastic or PEHD protection set up on each
brush. These cases can be only willingly removed.
Suction Engine
Protection
PINKY 26 is equipped with a cover set up on the recovery tank which
allows suction engine inspection and protection whilst the machine is
functioning. Therefore, it is very important that the cover is well set up
on the machine.
Parking Brake
PINKY 26 is equipped with a braking device which allows to stop the
machine safely and avoid the risk to start the machine again unwillingly.

SAFETY
PINKY 26

3.6 SAFETY DEVICES
The machine is equipped with the following safety devices.
Socket (picture 3.1), the same socket used for the battery charger. In case of emergency,
this socket must be taken away from the plug by means of its handle.
The operator must be trained about safety rules. Do never restore this safety system before
the problem has been sorted out. If it is necessary ask for the technician help.
Safety Device: PINKY 26 is equipped with a special device which avoid the risk of
squashing whilst the machine is reversing (see detail 1 in picture 3.2). Thanks to a safety
lever, the machine is blocked when the lever gets in contact with the operator’s stomach.
Moreover, the machine starts running reverse for a couple of meters in order to avoid the
operator’s squashing during a wrong manoeuvre.
3.7 SAFETY DIAGNOSTIC SIGNALING
The electronic card is equipped with a particular system which shows the machine errors through quick
flashings on the battery charger display placed on the dashboard.
The number of switched on LEDs represents one of the errors listed below:
1 FLASH
Running microswitches fault. One flash shows that one of the running
microswitches is already on
2 FLASHES
The battery is down or under tension
3 FLASHES
Off duty code
4 FLASHES
Engine circiut open
5 FLASHES
Fault inside the regulator or the engine
6 FLASHES
Potentiometer fault. This disgnostic signaling is off duty for the 2-cable
potentiometer
7 FLASHES
MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) high
temperature. This alarm is activated when the temperature reaches 75°C ±5°C
and it has to decrease the engine max. current.
8 FLASHES
The engine is already rotating, i.e. the operator switches the regulator on while
the machine is descending a slope
9 FLASHES
Software fault

3.8 OTHER DANGERS
ING. O. FIORENTINI S.r.l. analyzes –starting from the design of the machine - all the dangers that
can occur while the machine is operating in order to prevent or at least low the operator’s
accidents. Thanks to a series of signals on the machine the operator can avoid many risks that can
occur.
This kind of ranger can occur:
whilst regulating the washing brushes
whilst regulating the squeegee;
whilst checking the engine or filling water into the solution tank up;
Whilst regulating the side brushes, the ignition key must be kept away from the dashboard
in order to avoid the casual starting of the machine.
Special labels stuck on the brush covers or on the recovery tank prevent dangers to the
operator (see § 4.7.).
TURNOVER
This kind of ranger can occur:
during the normal operating of the machine when you exceed sloping limits as
specified in the manual and you use the machine to clean disconnected surfaces or
with holes and high depressions (photo 3.2)
Do not use the machine to wash sloping surfaces higher than 10% or
surfaces with holes or depressions which might compromise the stability of
the machine.
FIORENTINI is not responsible for accidents occurred to people or things provoked
by a wrong use of the machine, i.e. using the machine on surfaces which can
compromise its stability.
The purchaser must stick proper labels on the machine to show the operator its right
use.
