TECHNICAL INFORMATION
General description
This machine is a scrubber drier designed for
sweeping, washing and drying fl at, horizontal, smooth
or moderately rough, even and obstacle-free fl oors.
The machine is intended for use in commercial
applications, such as hotels, schools, hospitals,
factories, shops and offi ces, or for hire.
The machine must only be used indoors.
It is available in both battery and mains powered
versions to meet all running time and weight
requirements.
The scrubber drier spreads a solution of water and
detergent in the correct concentration on the fl oor
and then scrubs it to remove the dirt. By carefully
choosing the detergent and brushes (or abrasive
disks) from the wide range of accessories available,
the machine can be adapted to a wide range of
combinations of types of fl oor and dirt.
A suction system incorporated in the machine dries
the fl oor after washing by means of the low pressure
generated in the dirty water tank by the suction motor.
The squeegee connected to the tank collects the dirty
water.
Parts of the machine
The main parts of the machine are as follows (fi g. A):
► the detergent tank (fi g. A, ref. 1): contains
and transports the mixture of clean water and
detergent;
► the dirty water tank (fi g. A, ref. 2): collects
the dirty water picked up from the fl oor after
washing;
► control panel (fi g. A, ref. 3);
► head assembly (fi g. A, ref. 4): the main
element is the brush which distributes the
detergent solution on the fl oor and remove the
dirt;
► squeegee assembly (fi g. A, ref. 5): wipes and
dries the fl oor by collecting the water.
Danger zones
► Tank assembly: when using certain
detergents, danger of irritation for eyes, skin,
mucous membranes and respiratory tract and
of asphyxia. Danger represented by the dirt
collected from the environment (germs and
chemical substances). Danger of crushing
between the two tanks when the dirty water
tank is replaced on top of the detergent tank.
► Control panel: risk of injury from short circuits.
► Bottom of washing head: danger due to brush
rotation.
► Rear wheels: danger of crushing between the
wheel and chassis.
► Battery compartment (in the detergent tank):
danger of short circuit between the battery
poles and presence of hydrogen during
charging.

Power supply batteries
DANGER
To avoid the risk of an electric shock, batteries
must be installed by the manufacturer or
by personnel trained and authorised by the
manufacturer.
Two diff erent types of battery may be installed on
these machines:
► leak-proof tubular batteries: these require
regular checks on electrolyte level. When
necessary, top up with distilled water until the
plates are covered. Do not over-fi ll (5 mm
max. above the plates).
► gel batteries: this type of battery is
maintenance-free.Technical characteristics
must correspond to those indicated in the
machine technical specifi cations section.
The use of heavier batteries could seriously
jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the
brush motor overheating. Batteries with a
lower capacity and weight will require charging
more frequently. Batteries must be kept
charged, dry, clean and with tight terminals.
Batteries: preparation
DANGER
During installation of the batteries or any type
of battery maintenance, the operator must be
provided with the necessary personal protection
devices (gloves, goggles overalls, etc) to limit the
risk of accident. Keep away from naked fl ames,
avoid short circuiting the battery poles, avoid
sparks and do not smoke.
Batteries are normally supplied fi lled with acid and
ready for use.
If the batteries are dry, proceed as follows before
installing them in the machine.
► remove the caps and fi ll all elements with
specifi c sulphuric acid solution (see the table
