On consignment 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 has been
received, and also to check the machine has not been
damaged during transportation. If this is the case, the carrier
must ascertain the extent of the damage at once, informing
our customer service office. It is only by prompt action of this
type that the missing material can be obtained, and
compensation for damage successfully claimed.
Introductory comment
This is a scrubbing machine which, via the mechanical action of
the rotating brush and the chemical action of a water/detergent
solution, can clean any type of flooring. As it advances, it also
collects the dirt removed and the detergent solution not
absorbed by the floor.
The machine must be used only for this purpose. Even the
best machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in
good working order. We therefore suggest you read this
instruction booklet carefully and read it again whenever
difficulties arise while using the machine. If necessary,
remember that our assistance service (organised in
collaboration with our dealers) is always available for advice or
direct intervention.
