HOW TO GET STARTED
The FB25 machine is a mechanical collection device that can achieve excellent results even
with the use of water without detergent. An excellent result is achieved with the use of
specic detergents.
The machine comes with universal brushes (gr 0.12). Anyway, it is possible to request specic
brushes to our customer service according to the type of surface to be treated.
Use foam-controlled detergents to avoid excessive foaming. Do not use pure acids.
Wear protective gloves before handling detergents, alkaline or acid solutions to avoid hand
injuries.
1Remove the tank cap.
2Pour the liquid, clean water and/or detergent in
the concentration specied on the label.
3Replace the tank cap.
Fill the tank with clean water and/or detergent for a maximum of 2lt. Use water at a
temperature not exceeding 40°C or below 10°C.(104°F – 50°F).

17
ON/OFF
Before the start-up of the device, check that the electrical cord and the machine are not
malfunctioning in any way. If this is not the case, do not use the device and contact our service
centre as soon as possible.
3While pressing the kick-start pedal, lower the tank
towards you slowly. At this point, the machine
will switch on automatically and brushes will start
rotating.
4Be careful not to lower the handle excessively.
Maintain a sucient distance from the oor so that
the battery does not touch the oor.

indicating the correct ignition of the battery.
2Press the kick-start pedal situated at the bottom -
right side of the machine.
It is important to press the kick - start pedal completely before lowering the tank towards
you, so as to avoid any damage to the central axle of the machine body.
Do not press the kick - start pedal when returning the tank to the original position.
Make sure the battery is o before performing any operations

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
The battery charge level is indicated by the
appropriate led lights on the top of the battery.
Depending on the number and colour of the led
lights, the battery charge level can be
Led colour Number Battery level
Green 367%-100%
Green 234%-66%
Green 10%-33%
Before starting the shutdown procedure, continue to use the appliance for at least ten seconds
without dispensing water in order to complete the drying operation.
The battery will automatically shut o after 20 minutes of inactivity.

19
FUNCTIONING
Check that all steps described above have been completed correctly before using the machine
Before starting the washing procedure with the machine, remove any solid residual such as dust
lumps, stones, glass, paper etc. from the surface which has to be treated.
1After the engine has turned on, move the machine
back and forth with linear movements. The lever
placed beneath the handle will allow you to
dispense the liquid previously poured in the tank.
The engine of this appliance is equipped with a safety device which cuts it o in case of overload.
If this situation occurs, it is necessary to return the handle to its initial position, turn o the
battery and turn it on again, and then resume normal work. In the event that the engine does
not work again, contact our after-sales service.
Do not make circular movements with the machine so that it can collect the dispensed liquid.
2After pulling the lever, the liquid will distribute
uniformly on the front cylinder brush.
In the ongoing stage just pull the lever halfway; in the retuning stage, release the lever, thus al-
lowing the liquid recovery.
In the returning stage, the machine shall pass through the same hallway of the ongoing stage,
thus allowing a complete recovery of the dispensed liquid.

20
3The recovery of the dispensed liquid occurs
automatically by means of mechanical collection.
The liquid will ow into the waste situated in the
lower part of the machine.
It is important to empty the waste when the seep liquid reaches the maximum mark printed on
the back of the waste, thus avoiding an accidental release of the same.
TRANSPORT
To transport the machine safely, follow these steps:
1The machine has two rubber wheels situated in
the lower part. By pulling the tank towards you,
without pressing the kick - start pedal, the front
part of the machine will be lifted up, guaranteeing
an easy transportation..
If the liquid in the waste has reached the highest level, it is necessary to empty it before carrying
the machine.
2It is possible to lift the entire machine up, in order
to move it to an upper oor of the house, by using
the designated slit situated on the lower part of the
tank.
Do not lift the machine up by using the upper knob of the tank.
For transportation with vehicles, ensure the machine so that it cannot in any way move.
CLACK!
Check that the tank is placed in a vertical position before moving the machine. The electrical
cord shall be unplugged from the outlet.
