as explained in the safety
instructions. For wet use,
fill in the water tank when
the electrical cable is
disconnected. Connect the
vacuum extractor and
ensure that the vacuum
hose is clear and it will
follow the machine easily. Plug in the machine and make sure that the power cord is free to follow the working
direction of the Lavina® 32X-E.
CONTROL OF THE WATERFLOW
Using the valve (Fig.4.2-2) the operator can choose from where the water to spray:
- when the handle of the tap is in vertical position the water will spray in front of the machine (fig.4.1),
- when the handle is in the horizontal position the water will spray under the cover of the machine.
The flow regulating valve located on the tank (Fig.4.3) is increasing or reducing the waterflow to the working
area – in front of the machine or under the main head cover of the machine.
The valves (Fig. 4.2-1 and Fig. 4.2-3) are controlling the flow of an external water supply. A ¾” water tube can
be attached to the quick connection (Fig. 4.2-4).
ADJUSTING AND MOUNTING TOOLS
The Holder A41 in LAVINA® X can work with either 3 or 6
buffers which will change its elasticity. You can make the change
after dismounting the holder as per the instruction in
TROUBLESHOOTING.
In Lavina 32-X the holder is initially mounted with 6 buffers.
Mount the tools only after ensuring that there is enough
diamond bond material left. Be sure that the plates
are always clean before mounting.
WARNING:Secure always the“Quickchange” pads with the security plate (Fig.4.5),
lock with the tool holder key (Fig.5.3). Diamond tools
with Velcro are attached on six foam plates of 9 inch(Fig.4.6).
The foam plates are mounted on the key lock (butterfly).
Always use the tool holder key (Fig.5.3).
The machine can work with 3 operating heads only when each working heads
alternate with not working head. It is recommended to dismount the not working
holders /only holders, not adaptors / because there is a possibility to wear out the
seats of the tool fixing. In that case screw the bolts fixing the holders in the free
thread holes of the adaptors in
order to protect them./fig.4.7/

STARTING THE MACHINE
Follow strictly the instructions in chapter "SAFETY INSTRUCTOINS".
NEVER WORK WITH THE MACHINE WITHOUT VISUAL CONTACT WITH IT.
First, follow the directions in chapter Safety Devices and Safety Instructions. If working wet, add water
to the floor surface. If working dry, omit this step, and instead, switch on the vacuum unit. Next, pull the
emergency stop (Fig.4.8 1) to ensure that the machine is in working condition. Check the potentiometer
(Fig.4.8 3) and ensure that it is set at the working speed. Check the potentiometer (Fig.4.8 9) for the required
working speed.
Finally, hold the machine firmly and turn the start button (Fig.4.8 6)
OPERATING THE MACHINE
Guide the machine in straight lines across the floor, and with each new line overlap a little bit of the
previously completed surface.
At the end of each line you can reverse the direction of the machine by simply pressing the
corresponding button FORWARD or BACK and through the handles to direct a new runway. If you get tight
the handles and trigger the button STOP you will get to manual operated mode of the machine and can
performe more complicated maneuvers. Once you direct the machine in the desired direction activate again
the selfpropelled movement. Increase or decrease of the speed of the machine when operating can be made
by the potentiometer (Fig.4.8-9)
Work at a constant speed allowing the tools time to work at a speed appropriate for the tools’ grit size.
Avoid vibrations. Do not stop the Lavina® 32-X/32-X-HV machine in one spot while the tools are still working
because they will leave marks on the floor surface. When working wet, preliminary chose with the water tap
(Fig.4.2-1) the position for water feed and periodically start the pump (Fig 4.8-8) to release water onto the floor
surface. When working dry, check the floor surface periodically to ensure that dust is not accumulating on the
surface, also check regularly if your vacuum works properly.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
The stopping of the machine must be done gradually until the motor stops. Do not stop moving the
machine before arresting the motor as the tools could damage the surface. To stop switch the off switch
(Fig.4.7-6). Use the Emergency button (Fig.4.8-1) only in emergency or use it to switch the power totally off.
Remember not to hold the machine in one spot before turning off the motor.
ALARM
The Alarm light ((Fig.4.8 4) will light incase inverter goes in alarm mode. The most common failure is motor in
overload. To reset the mode push reset button ((Fig.4.8 5).

7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CLEANING
Keep your machine clean. Cleaning the machine on a regular basis will help detect and solve potential
problems before they cause damage to the machine. Most importantly, check and clean the tool plate
connections, power cord and plugs, vacuum hoses and water tank.
CHECK DAILY
After operating the Lavina® 32-X/32-X-HV, the operator should conduct
a visual inspection of the machine. Any defect should be solved immediately.
Pay attention to power cords, plugs and vacuum hoses loose bolt or screws.
Tool holders: Buffers and elastic element are consumables and must be visually
checked daily and replaced if needed. The key lock holders (butterflies) on the
tool holders should be also checked.
Check the rubber buffers and fixing of the holders. The flange holding
the buffers (Fig.7.1-1)has to be firmly fixed to the unit. A gap seen there
means that there are loose screws fixing the holder. The screws has to be
tightened immediately for safety operation.Working with loose screws on the
holder could also cause bad damages on the machine. Tightening force of the
screws has to 22...25 N.m(16...18 ft/lbs).
It is very important to check regularly the screws(Fig.7.1 2),that fix the
"Quickchange" holder to the safety part, so that holder will not fly away if the
buffers got damaged.
“Quickchange” should be clean.
CHECK EVERY 200 WORKING HOURS
Every 200 working hours, the operator should inspect all parts of the machine carefully. Most importantly,
inspect and clean the tool plate connections, power cord and plugs, vacuum hoses and water tank and filter.
Also, check the water flow of the pump. Check the guard assembly. Make certain the wheels are clean and
rotate properly. Inspect the control buttons. If there are defective control parts, they should be replaced
immediately. Replace worn vacuum- and water hoses. Open the service cover on the motor base to check of
the planetary chain. Lubricate the chain with special lubricant for chains and correct the sag if needed.For the
correct tension, see TROUBLE SHOOTING.
Carefully inspect the seal rings and bearings of the grinding units, and replace any showing signs of excessive
wear.
For more information, refer to chapter troubleshooting below.
CHECK EVERY 400 WORKING HOURS
Besides the checks of 200 working hours Check if sealers and bearings are in good condition, change if
needed.
VACUUM
As stated previously, frequently check hoses and other parts for clogging.
WATER LEAKS
Replace any leaking parts immediately as the water could damage your machine
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Dust should not enter the control box, as it will destroy the contacts. Remove (blow out) any dust present.
MECHANICAL PARTS
Parts such as the belt, seal rings, cap rings, spiders and buffers and guard assembly are subject to wear and
should be replaced as needed.
CARRIAGE
Check the pressure of the pneumatic tires and maintain it at the limits of 3.5-4 atm/50...60PSI/.
Check the seal rings on the driving unit and promptly replace in case of damage.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
INDEX OF PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
8.1 REPLACING POWER CORD AND PLUGS
When replacing the power cord or plugs always use cords and plugs with specifications as the original ones.
Never use lower quality or different type cord and plugs.
8.2 DISMOUNTING AND MOUNTING TOOL HOLDER
TO CHANGING V-RINGS AND FELT-RINGS
To check or replace the buffers and the elastic elements , the tool holders have to be dismounted.
You will need deep metric socket 13mm with outside diameter not more than 3/4in to unscrew the four bolts
(Fig.8.2.1) and remove the holder (Fig.8.2.2)
When the tool holder is dismounted, you can change the sealers (V-Ring and Felt-Ring).
By loosening four Hex cap flange bolts (Fig.8.2.3) the adaptor comes loose. Unscrew the six screws of the cap
(Fig.8.2.4) holding the felt-ring. Take out the Felt-Ring, adaptor and V-Ring.
Mount the V-Ring with the smallest lip of the V to inside (Fig.8.2.5) just push the V-Ring so the top is on the same
level as the pulley top (Fig.9.2.6). Then take the adaptor and push the V-Ring down with the adaptor (Fig.8.2.7). The
lowest lip of the V-Ring should only barely touch its gliding surface; also never push the V-Ring down with fingers.
Mount the adaptor and the Felt-Ring on top (Fig.8.2.7). Close the sealers with the cap (Fig.8.2.8) and screw the bolts.
Always use the original bolts.
When the tool holder and adapter are
dismounted, you can change the top key
transmitting the movement to the planetary chain
.

8.3 DISASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING TOOL HOLDER TO CHANGE BUFFERS AND ELASTIC ELEMENT
When the TOOL HOLDER is disassembled you can change defective parts – elastic element, buffers, etc.
Lift the locking pin (Fig.8.3.1) to dismount the retaining washer (Fig.8.3.2). Take out the screws on the buffers and the
nuts of the elastic element (Fig.8.3.3;Fig.8.3.4). Remove the elastic element from the QC plate (Fig.8.3.5). While the
holder is dismounted (Fig.8.3.6;Fig.8.3.7) clean the parts and replace the defective with new ones. Assemble the
holder with new buffers with new screws and new elastic element. Put the retaining washer (Fig.8.3.8) and push the
locking pin (Fig.8.3.9). This will prevent the fall of the washer when mounting the holder on the machine.

Make sure the four bolts holding the
adaptor (Fig.8.3.12) are reliably tighten.
Mount the holder on the machine using the
same socket as mentioned in 8.2
(Fig.8.3.10;Fig.8.3.11). The retaining
washer fits into the central hole C of
adaptor and the four bolts into the thread
holes Т (Fig.8.3.12). The holder is centered
on the outside diameter of the adaptor.
Ensure the connection of the holder on the
forehead of the adaptor and then tight
evenly the four bolts. Tightening force of the bolts has to be 22...25N.m(16...18 ft/lbs). Mounting the holder without
retaining washer (Fig.8.3.2) is INADMISSIBLE because the security system preventing the separation of part of
the holder in case of broken buffers and elastic
element will not function!
You can change the butterfly of the holder
without dismounting the holder of the machine.
Fig.8.3.13 is 3-d section view of the holder,
showing its parts. The numbering is the same
as in Spare parts.

8.4 TENSIONING USED PLANETARY CHAIN
Take out the support frame of the weights(Fig.8.4.1_2) by releasing the fixing pins (Fig.8.4.1_1). Unscrew the 6 bolts
and take out the front part of the cover (Fig.8.4.1_3), (not necessary to take out the hose from the sprayer. Lift the
machine in position to change the tools. Turn manually the holders in order to turn the main head, stop when you see
through the window the chain link and the chain tensioner.(Fig.8.4.3)
Loosen a quarter to 1/2 rev the two bolts of the chain tensioner (Fig.8.4.2_4); the tensioner should turn with minimum
clearence, without inclination, then unscrew the inner nut (Fig.8.4.3_5) To tension the chain screw the outer nut
(Fig.8.4.3). tensioner of the planetary chain should allow chain sagging 3...5mm/1/8...3/16 in/ controlled in span X
(Fig.8.4.5). When ready screw the two nuts (Fig.8.4.3-5) and two bolts (Fig.8.4.2_4).
8.4 MOUNTING AND TENSIONING A NEW PLANETARY CHAIN
The planetary chain is replaced with new one when the step/drive? of the chain tensioner is finished or there is a break
in the integrity of the chain. Take out the weight support (Fig.8.4.1), release the connector of the motor and separate
the carriage from the main head. Take the main head of the carriage, like described in the paragraph “Splitting the
carriage from the main head”, Dismount the top cover.
Pull out the split pin (Fig.8.4.1) and the chain link pin (Fig.8.4.2). Put on the same way the new chain, get in the chain
link pin(Fig.8.8.5) (Fig.8.8.6) and the split pin (Fig.8.4.4).
To tension the chain screw the outer nut (Fig.8.4.5_3) . The tensioner of the planetary chain should allow chain
sagging 3...5mm/1/8...3/16 in/ controlled in span X (Fig.8.4.5). When ready screw the two nuts ((Fig.8.4.5_2) and two
bolts ( Fig.8.4.5_3).
ATTENTION: NEVER “OVER” TENSION THE CHAIN,
THE CHAIN WILL BE DAMAGED .

8.5 TENSIONING AND REPLACING THE BELTS
The transmission of the machine has two timing belts of maintenance free type. To change the belts you have to
remove all holders and dismount their adaptors. Dismount the sealing. Carefully check the friction surface (flanges of
the lower cover and the outside diameter of the adaptors). Decide if they are in good condition (wear out, smoothness
of surface) and whether they can work until next inspection. Remove the bottom cover, unscrew the bolts on the
outskirt and the three bolts of spacer ( Fig. 8.5.1). Under the cover on the outskirt there is e sealer, and the spacers
have O-Rings. The change of all seals together with the belts is recommended.
Fig. 8.5.4 shows the scheme of belts location. To mount the new belts
first unscrew nuts on pos.7; pos.8 and pos.9, as far as to be able to
turn the tensioners pos.4, pos.5 around central axle. Clean the
washers and space around, and check if all bearings of pulley units or
tensioners are in good condition (check for too much clearance or
rolling noise). Rotating the tensioner will allow the centre distance to
be reduced in such a way that the timing belt may be fitted without
force.
Installation with the use of force is NOT permissible at any
time as this can damage the high quality, low stretch tension cord and
other components. This damage is often not visible.
Put the belts in pos.10 as per the scheme, and pay attention
for their correct position in every pulley. Screw up until it stops and
loosen on the half moons the nuts pos.8, allowing the rotation of the
tensioners at minimum inclination.
Using nuts on pos.7 tighten the belt, verifying again the correct
position of the two belts, and the correct gearing in every pulley.
Rotate the gear while tensioning to allow regular tension distribution
on the belt. Control the tension using Frequency tension Tester (Optibelt 3 TT) (Fig. 8.5.3). Tension in the span А of
the belt should be 115-120Hz.
It is possible for tensioning the belt while changing it to use the pre-installed supports (Fig.8.5-11) (only when
their factory position is not changed), to limit the turn of the tensioner when the required belt tension is done.
8.6 REPLACING THE PULLEYS
Take the belt tension away (see the previous paragraph). After removing
the belts, unscrew the four bolts of the pulleys on top of the disc (Fig.
8.6.1).
