4.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This machine is a scrubber drier for sweeping, washing and drying flat,
horizontal, smooth or moderately rough, even and obstacle free floors in civil
and industrial premises. The scrubber drier spreads a solution of water and
detergent in the correct concentration on the floor and then scrubs it to remove
the dirt. By carefully choosing the detergent and brushes (abrasive disks or
rollers) from the wide range of accessories available, the machine can be
adapted to a wide range of combinations of types of floor and dirt.
A suction system incorporated in the machine dries the floor after washing by
means of the low pressure generated in the dirty water drum by the suction
motor. The sqeegee connected to the drum collects the dirty water.
4.2. DANGER ZONES
A - 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 drum is replaced on the detergent tank.
B - Control panel: danger of short circuit.
C - Bottom of washing head: danger due to brush rotation.
D - Rear wheels: danger of crushing between the wheel and chassis.
E - Battery compartment (in the detergent tank): danger of short circuit
between the battery poles and presence of hydrogen during charging.
4.3. ACCESSARIES
A. Nylon brushes: for washing delicate floors and polishing;
B. Drive disks: enable the following disks to be used:
* White disks: for washing and polishing marble and similar surfaces;
* Red disks: for washing resistant floors:
* Black disks: for thorough washing ol resistant floors with stubborn dirt.
