RootsScrub E Series
Owner's personnel are not allowed to unpack
the machine.
After Unpacking
FIRST OPERATION
A squeegee and suitable brushes or pads are required for
wet cleaning of hard floorings. The rotating brush scrubs
the floor thoroughly, removing dirt through suds, thereby
cleaning the floor. The dirty water is drawn during the
same cycle through the squeegee. Thus, the floor can be
walked on immediately after it is dry and clean.
Useful Tips:
ŸPrior to wet cleaning, it is necessary to sweep the
floor.
ŸThis way, not only is the cleaning efficiency improved,
but wear of the brush is also substantially reduced.
ŸIf floors are particularly dirty or if wax has to be
removed (basic cleaning); the floor must be treated
twice.
ŸDuring the first cycle, the floor is scrubbed with the
cleaning agent selected according to the degree of
dirt encountered, the squeegee remaining lifted.
ŸAllow the cleaning agent to act on the floor for approx.
5 or 10 minutes, complying with the manufacturer's
instructions.
ŸScrub the floor once again while the squeegee is
lowered.
ŸToo much foam indicates excessive dosage or
improper suitability of detergent for the existing kind
of dirt.
ŸDetergent particles contained in the soiled water that
are not used will cause formation of foam.
ŸInstructions for dosage are given on the detergent
tank and must ideally adhere to manufacturer's
recommendations.
ŸThe ideal type of detergent and the perfect dosage
applicable to it will come through sustained use of the
machine.
Comply with instructions for correct dosage of
detergent. Correct dosage will help optimize
costs and also minimize impact on the
environment. Too much foam can affect the
performance of the machine.

Dirty and Fresh Water Tanks
The machine has a Dirty Water Tank and a Fresh Water
Tank. The filling capacity is 45/60 liters. Please do not fill
beyond that mark; water temperature must not exceed
50°C. Dirty water is fed via the suction hose into the dirty
water tank.
- Do not collect any external water.
- When work is finished both the dirty and the
fresh water tanks on principle must be drained
and rinsed in order to preclude formation of
residues.
For disposal of dirty water and lye, the legal
provisions have t o b e c o m p i l e d w i t h .
Check the in-feed filter in the tank regularly and
clean it if required.

Use detergents suitable for automatic machines
(low foaming) in order to preclude damages at
the suction turbine. We recommend our agents
for cleaning and care, which are perfectly
adopted to the machine. These products fulfil
the requirements of the Detergents Act.
How to operate the machine:
ŸTurn on Switch “A” the brush is rotating.
ŸTo discharge the detergent , position the lever suitably
to achieve the desired flow of detergent.
ŸLower the brush head.
ŸLower the squeegee.
ŸTurn on switch “B” the suction turbine is running.
ŸAs soon as the suction turbine is switched on operate
the lever to start water flow.
ŸThe water flow can be adjusted to suite the floor.
ŸThe water flow is maximum when the lever is in top
position.
ŸThe water flow is minimum or to stop when the lever is
in bottom position.
ŸFor E4545, E4550, E6050, E6050C & E6060 models
water flow is controlled by mechanical stopper.
ŸFor E4545 Exp, E4550 Exp, E6050 Exp, E6050C Exp
& E6060 Exp models water flow is controlled by
solenoid valve.
After lowering the brush move the machine
immediately; otherwise the brush might leave
traces on the floor. Lift the squeegee during
reverse travel. When passing over dormers with
a height of more than 0.7° in =10 mm, the brush
drive must be turned off and the brush must be
lifted up.
Lever to adjust
flow of water
ŸIt is dangerous to pass over the power supply cable
while the brush is rotating.
ŸCleaning of floor areas starts from the outlet socket
and is effected stripe by stripe.
ŸIn case of unoccupied areas it will be useful to clean at
first the border areas, passing with the machine along
those areas in counterclockwise sense.
ŸCleaning of the remaining areas then should be
effected stripe by stripe, starting from the outlet
socket.
ŸPartially occupied areas should be subdivided into

Draining of Fresh water tank
The tank requires rinsing at regular intervals.
ŸThe water level hose is used to drain the fresh
water.
PROCEDURE FOR SCRUBBING
At the end of cleaning
ŸStop the machine and lift the brush head.
ŸLift the squeegee.
ŸDrain and rinse the dirty water tank (refer to section
"Dirty and Fresh Water Tanks" )
ŸClean the sealing strips at the squeegee.
ŸCheck the strainer upstream of the intake opening in
the fresh water tank; clean if required, as otherwise
the suction efficiency will be affected.
The machine must not be cleaned by water jet or
h i g h p r e s s u r e c l e a n i n g e q u i p m e n t ,
as this will endanger its proper working function.

Draining of Dirty water tank
When work is completed, the dirty water tank
has to be drained and rinsed.
ŸThe hose used to drain the dirty water.
Procedure for draining tanks
ŸUnclamp the drain hose from the hose clamp.
ŸLower the tip of the drain hose to the floor level
ŸAfter draining the water completely, clamp the hose

The electrical equipment of the machine uses a mains
voltage of 230 V/50 Hz AC. Easy access to brush motor
and suction turbine is possible after the upper part of the
unit has been titled to upside.
The suction turbine has been provided with a fuse (F)
having a rating of T4A. It must be replaced by a fuse of
same rating (T stands for Time -lag).
The brush motor is protected by a circuit breaker (G)
which requires to be manually reset incase of tripping.
When brush motor trips identify the cause and correct it
before trying to run the machine.
The protector can be reset by pressing transparent
dome on the electrical box cover. Please allow
approximately 30 seconds before resetting.
MAINTENANCE
ŸIf there should be repeated cases of failure,
