On delivery of the machine
When the machine is delivered to the customer, an
immediate check must be performed to ensure all the
material mentioned in the shipping documents have
been received and moreover to find out that the
machine has not suffered damage during transportation.
If damage has occurred, get the shipping agent to verify
immediately the amount and nature of the damage
suffered and at the same time inform our claim
department. It is only by prompt action of this type that
compensation for damage may be successfully claimed.
Introduction
This is a floor cleaning machine which, using the
mechanical abrasive action of two cylindrical brushes
and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution,
is able to clean any type of hard floor, picking up during
its forward movement, the removed dirt / detergent
solution from the floor. The machine must be used only
for such purpose. We would impress upon you that any
machine will function efficiently and operate
successfully, only if used correctly and maintained in
fully efficient working order. We therefore suggest that
you read this instruction booklet carefully and re-read it
whenever difficulties arise in the course of machine use.
Our service department is at your disposal for such
advice and servicing as may prove necessary.

MACHINE PREPARATION
3. INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERIES INTO THE MACHINE
Figure 4
The batteries are fitted in the appropriate compartment under the seat and must be
handled by using lifting equipment suitable both for the weight and for the coupler
system. They must moreover satisfy the requirements quoted in the Specification CEI
21-5.
For maintenance and daily recharging of the batteries, it is necessary to follow strictly
all the indstructions given by the manufacturer or from his dealer. Specialized staff
must carry out all the installation and maintenance operations.
Figure 5
In order to insert the batteries it is necessary to:
1. Lift the seat support
2. Extract the prop from its slot
3. Lean the seat on the steering wheel
4. Insert the batteries
Figure 6
5. Lower the base support of the seat being careful to have at first refastened the tie.
4. CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CONNECTOR
Figure 7
The battery connector (1) is placed in the left lower part of the operators seat and
must be connected to the connector (2) of the machine.

MACHINE PREPARATION
5. CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER
The connector is placed in the left lower part of the operator seat. The
upper part (1), which is connected to the batteries, is the one which has to
be inserted to the connector (2) fixed to the cables of the battery charger.
The coupling connector of the battery charger is delivered in the bag
(together with this instruction booklet ) and must be assembled on the
battery charger cables following the provided instructions (see
instructions booklet for the battery charger).
6. RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
Figure 8
To ensure no permanent damage to the battery it is essential to avoid
complete discharge by arranging to recharge as soon as the blinking
signal indicating the discharged batteries switches on.
NOTE: Never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the
machine is not being used.
When recharging the batteries, keep the base support of the seat
lifted. Every 20 recharging operations, check the level of the electrolyte
and, if necessary, top up with distilled water.
7. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR
Figure 9
The digital battery signal has 4 fixed positions and a blinking one. The
numbers which appear in the display show the approximate charge level.
4 = maximum charge, 3 = ¾ charge, 2 = ½ charge, 1 = ¼ charge,
0 = discharged batteries (blinking)
ATTENTION: A few seconds after the appearance of the blinking “0” the
brush motor automatically switches off. With the rest of the charge it is
possible to finish any drying operation before starting the recharge.

11
MACHINE PREPARATION
8. SQUEEGEE
Figure 10
The squeegee, which for packing reasons is delivered separated from the machine,
must be assembled as indicated in the drawing by hooking the stud bolts (1-MAGNA
85) of the squeegee into their seat on the squeegee support fixing them with a key
CH17.
Insert the suction hose (2) with its coupling and fix it with the appropriate clamp.
9. ASSEMBLY; SIDE BARS 85S-100S
Figure 11
The side-bars are already fixed to the front part, but it is necessary to place the back
part. Therefore proceed as follows:
1. Insert the back part of the side bar into the pin of the squeegee
2. Insert the fixing clip
3. Repeat the same operations for the second side bar 1
Figure 12
During working operation, the rear rubber should tilt backwards slightly and equally
along its whole length by about 5 mm.
This allows for all four leading edges of the squeegee to be used before it neds to be
replaced.
Figure 13
If it is necessary to increase the rubber deflection in the central part, tilt the squeegee
body backwards, loosen the adjuster nut (1) and rotate the knob (2) counter-clockwise.
If the rubber deflection is to be noticeable at the sides of the squeegee, loosen the
adjuster nut (1) and rotate the knob (2) clockwise. After regulations are completed
tighten the adjuster nut.

12
MACHINE PREPARATION
10. ADJUSTMENT; SQEEGEE HEIGHT SUPPORT
Figure 14
The squeegee has to be regulated in height depending on the wear on the rubbers. To
adjust this:
Loosen the ring nut (1)
With a key CH17 rotate the castor wheel through the nut (2) clockwise to lift the
squeegee and counter-clockwise to lower it
Fix the ring nut (1)
NOTE: The right and left castor wheels should be regulated equally.

Figure 16
5. With the brushes base in lifted position, insert the brushes into the
seat of the plate under the base until the three buttons fit into the
holes of the plate. Turn the brush so that the buttons are pushed
towards their retaining springs until the brush is clamped in place. The
figure shows the direction of rotation for the coupling of the right
brush. The left brush has to be rotated inversely.
Figure 17
6. It is recommended to change daily the position of the right brush with
the left one and vice versa. If the brushes are not new and they show
deformed bristles, it is better to reassemble them in the same position
(the right to the right side and the left to the left side), to avoid that
the different inclination of the bristles causes an overload to the
brushes motor and /or excessive vibrations.

14
MACHINE PREPARATION
12. SOLUTION WATER
Figure 18
Fill the solution tank with clean water at a temperature not more than 50°C and add
liquid detergent in the proper concentration following the instructions of the
manufacturer. Excess foam in the recovery tank could damage the suction motor, so
use only the minimum amount of detergent necessary.
NOTE: Always use low foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, before
starting to clean, put a minimum quantity of antifoam liquid into the recovery tank.
Never use pure acid.
13. RECOVERY TANK

PERFORMANCE
CHECK MOTOR BRUSHES
Figure 30
The brushes motor is electronically controlled. If it reaches established overload limits,
the red signal lamp (1) on the instrument board starts to blink. After a few seconds the
motor stops and the signal lamp of the brushes switch goes off. To start up the motor
again, turn the main switch key (2) off and on again. If the motor stops again, check
the reason of the overload to prevent motor damage. Generally, it is enough to reduce
the brushes pressure.
BRUSH PRESSURE
Figure 31
It is possible to adjust the brush pressure using the proper lever (1) placed on the left
side of the operator. To increase the pressure, push the lever downwards.
The pressure must be chosen based on the type of floor and the type of dirt. Excessive
pressure causes higher brushes wear and a major energy consumption (for further
information read on “CHOICE AND USE OF BRUSHES”)
TRACTION
Figure 32
These machines are equipped with electronically commanded traction, with three
speeds forwards and one backwards. To move the machine, it is necessary to turn the
key and then move forwards (forward movement) or backwards (rear movement) the
manipulator (1). Press the drive pedal and the machine will start to move. The
movement speed can be adjusted rotating the selector (2) also when the machine is in
motion.
Figure 33
NOTE: During reverse motion, if the switch automatic-manual of the squeegee is in
