INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Thank you for having chosen our machine. This floor
cleaning machine is used for the industrial and civil
cleaning and is able to clean any type of floor. Dur-
ing its advance movement, the combined action of
the brushes and the detergent solution removes the
dirt which is aspirated through the rear suction as-
sembly, giving a perfectly dry surface.
The machine must be used only for such purpose. It
gives the best performance if it is used correctly and
maintained in perfect efficiency. We therefore ask
you to read this instruction booklet carefully when-
ever difficulties arise in the course of the machine’s
use. In case of need, we ask you to contact our ser-
vice department for all advice and servicing as may
prove necessary.

5. Rotate, lifting lightly the tank from its rear han-
dle until the gas shock absorber (1) acts, which lifts
it up to a first position. Lifting it more, the maximum
opening can be obtained.
6. Having finished any type of intervention, close
the battery compartment pushing the tank down-
wards if it is open at the first position, while from
the maximum opening it is necessary to unblock the
support of the gas shock absorber (1).
7. Reassemble everything.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND SETTING OF THE
BATTERY TYPE
The machine is equipped either with batteries in se-
rial connection or elements of DIN-type assembled
together and connected in series, placed in its ap-
propriate compartment under the recovery tank and
must be handled using suitable lifting equipment
(due to weight, considering the type of batteries
chosen, and coupling system).
The batteries must be in accordance with CEI 21-5
Norms.
The machines at 24V will fit the batteries into the
appropriate reduced steel basin.
ATTENTION:
The machine and its battery check card foresee the
use of traditional lead batteries.
CHECK SETTING OF THE CHECK CARD ON THE INDI-
CATOR (1) (see under paragraph "BATTERIES CHARGE
LEVEL INDICATOR").
In case of GEL batteries installation, it is necessary to
set the battery check card. Please contact the autho-
rized technical assistance.
ATTENTION:
Strictly follow manufacturer/distributor indications
for the maintenance and recharge of the batteries.
All installation and maintenance operations must be
executed by specialized staff, using suitable protec-
tion accessories.
For batteries installation it is necessary to reach the
battery compartment as indicated under paragraph
“ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT”.
1. Rotate the recovery tank up to the maximum
opening position.
2. Place the batteries in its compartment.
3. Connect the terminals, respecting the polari-
ties, avoiding contact with other parts that could
create short circuit.
BATTERY RECHARGER
Be sure that the battery recharger is suitable for
the installed batteries both for their capacities
and type (lead/acid or GEL and equivalent).
In the plastic bag containing the use and mainte-
nance you will find the coupling connector for the
recharger. It must be assembled onto the cables of
your recharger, following the instructions given by
the manufacturer.
ATTENTION:
This operation must be carried out by qualified staff.
A wrong or faulty cable connection can cause seri-
ous damages to persons or things.
ON-BOARD BATTERY RECHARGER (OPTIONAL)
If the machine is equipped with the on-board bat-
tery recharger (see under "OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES”)
please refer to the instructions of the constructor of
this accessory what the recharging operations con-
cern.
The battery recharger is connected directly to the
battery poles.
During the recharging operations a device is activat-
ed which does not permit the machine's functioning.
The mains cable of the battery recharger has a max-
imum length of two metres and must be connected
to a single-phase socket type CEE 7/7.

alized.
At the end of the recharging, take off the plug from
the mains socket.
ATTENTION:
Never charge a GEL battery with a non suitable
recharger. Strictly follow the instructions sup-
plied by the batteries and recharger manufactur-
er.
In order not to cause permanent damages to the
batteries, it is necessary to avoid their complete dis-
charge, providing for the recharging within a few
minutes after that the batteries discharge signal
starts blinking.
NOTE: Never leave batteries completely discharged
even if the machine is not used. In case of traditional
batteries, please check the electrolyte level every 20
recharging cycles and eventually top them up with
distilled water.
ATTENTION:
For the recharge of the batteries it is necessary to
follow strictly all the indications given by the manu-
facturer/distributor. All the installation and mainte-
nance operations must be carried out by qualified
staff. Danger of gas exhalations and emission of
corrosive liquids. Fire danger: do not approach

3. The batteries charge level indicator (1) is digital.
The battery charge level starts at 90, which indicates
the 90% of the total charge and decreases from 10
to 10. When the charge level reaches 20%, the dis-
play starts blinking, so you are about the end of
working.
ATTENTION:
After a few seconds from the blinking of the four
lines, the brushes motor stops automatically. With
the remaining charge it is anyhow possible to finish
the drying operation before proceeding to the re-
charge.
HOUR METER
The machine is equipped with an hour meter located
on the same display of the battery charge level indi-
cator (1). Keeping the button (8) pressed for more
than 3 seconds, the first data indicates the working
hours and after a few seconds the working minutes
are shown.
SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
1. Maintain the squeegee support (1) slightly lifted
from the floor.
2. Insert the two stud bolts (3) placed on the upper
part of the squeegee (2) inside the slots on the sup-
port.
3. Block the squeegee by rotating the lever (4)
clockwise.
4. Insert the squeegee hose (5) into its coupling, re-
specting its position as indicated in the figure.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SQUEEGEE
In order to have a perfect drying result through the
squeegee, the rear rubber must have the lower bend-
ing uniformly adjusted in all its length. For the ad-
justment, it is necessary to put oneself in working
condition and therefore the suction motor has to be
switched on and the brushes have to function to-
gether with the detergent solution.
The lower part of the rubber is too much bent
Take off the pressure rotating the wing nut (6) coun-
terclockwise.
The lower part of the rubber is not much bent
Increase the pressure rotating the wing nut (6)
clockwise.
The bending is not uniform
Adjust the squeegee inclination rotating counter-
clockwise the wing nut (7) to increase the bending in
the central part, or clockwise to increase the bending
on the extremities.
Height adjustment
Once that the pressure and inclination of the squee-
gee has been adjusted, it is necessary to fix this op-
timum condition making touch slightly the wheels

onto the floor. Rotate counterclockwise the registers
(8) to lower the wheels or clockwise to raise them.
Both wheels must be adjusted in the same measure.
ATTENTION:
Every type of floor requires a specific adjustment.
For example, concrete floors (where the friction re-
sults to be high) need little pressure, while smooth
floors (ceramics) need higher pressure.
If the cleaning operations are made always on the
same type of floor, the adjustment can change only
in function of the rubber wear.
SPLASH GUARD ASSEMBLY
The two splash guards have to be assembled onto the
brushes base group. Insert the metal strips inside the
suitable slots present on the rubber. Place the round
hole at the flat extremity of the strip onto the screw
(1) placed in the front part of the brushes base
group. Secure the strips through the nut blocking it.
Block the coupling levers (2) in the rear part of the
brushes base group to the rings placed at the ex-
tremity of the metal strips still free. Please act as
above for both splash guard rubbers, paying atten-
tion to reduce to the minimum the gap between the
two rubbers in the front part of the brushes base
group.
With brushes assembled, the splash guard must
slightly touch the floor.
BRUSHES ASSEMBLY
The machines which have the electrical brushes base
lifting:
1. Switch on the machine by turning the key (9)
clockwise.
2. Press the push button (7) of up/down brushes
base to lift the brushes.
3. Take off the electric supply by turning the key (9)
counterclockwise.
ATTENTION:
To carry out brushes assembly operations with the
electric supply on, may cause damages to hands.
With the brushes base group in lifted position, insert
the brushes into their plate seat underneath the
brushes base turning them until the three metal but-
tons are properly seated in their slots; rotate ener-
getically the brushes to push the button towards the
coupling spring until they get blocked.
The figure shows the rotating sense for brushes cou-
pling.
For a longer life of the brushes we suggest to invert
daily their position. Whenever brushes were de-
formed we suggest to reassemble them in the same
position, avoiding that the different inclination of
the bristles causes excessive motor overload or trou-
blesome vibrations.
ATTENTION:
Use only brushes supplied with the machine or the
ones indicated in the paragraph “RECOMMENDED
BRUSHES”. The use of other brushes can compromise
security.
FLOOR CLEANING
CONNECTION OF THE BATTERIES TO THE MA-
CHINE
Once that the battery recharging has been complet-
ed:
1. Disconnect the connector (3) of the battery re-
charger (1). To do this, it is necessary to reach the
battery compartment as indicated under paragraph
“ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT”.
2. Connect instead the machine connector (2).
3. Close the battery compartment.
RECOVERY TANK
Check that the cover of the suction filter (1) is cor-
rectly secured, after rotating the levers (2) and that
the suction motor hose (3) is correctly connected to
it.
Verify also that the squeegee hose couplings (4) are
correctly inserted into the seats, that the exhaust
hose plug (5) placed in the front part of the machine
is closed and that also the inspection cap (6) is
closed well.
DETERGENT SOLUTION TANK
The capacity of the detergent solution tank is indi-
cated in the technical data.
Open the screw plug placed in the rear left part of
the machine and fill the detergent solution tank
with clean water at a maximum temperature of 50°C.
Add the liquid detergent in the percentage and con-
ditions foreseen by the manufacturer. To avoid ex-
cessive foam presence, which could cause problems
to the suction motor, use the minimum percentage
of detergent. Screw down the plug to close the tank.

GB GB
10
ATTENTION:
Use always low foam detergent. To avoid foam pres-
ence, before starting working operation, introduce
into the recovery tank a minimum quantity of anti-
foam product.
Never use pure acid.
3S SYSTEM “SOLUTION SAVING SYSTEM” (OP-
TIONAL)
The need of an increasing carefulness to the envi-
ronment, and to the abuse of polluting elements,
such as detergents in the floor cleaning machines,
has brought us to the realization of a device which,
regardless from the capacity to use the machine by
the operator, keeps the minimum flow of the deter-
gent solution constant, having been properly cali-
brated by an expert technician. The best detergent
solution amount with this system will be the one
which realizes the minimum flow of detergent solu-
tion sufficient to clean correctly the floor. For this
reason the system is called “Solution Saving System”
abbreviated to “3S” system.
The system is composed by a hydraulic circuit paral-
lel to the traditional one which can be enabled or
disabled directly from the instrument board through
a 3-position switch with the following functions:
(1) = Position solution valve with traditional func-
tioning with variable water flow that differs by the
opening of the solution valve.
(2) = Position STOP with functioning without flow
(drying only).
(3) = Position 3S with functioning with optimal
fixed flow.
STARTING OF THE MACHINE
1. Turn the key (9) clockwise.
2. Check the battery type and the charge level on
the display (1).
3. Press the brushes motor switch (6).
4. Press the suction motor switch (3).
5. Press the solenoid valve switch (5).
6. Lower the brushes base onto the floor.
The machines which have the electrical brushes base
lifting press the push button (7) of up/down of the
brushes base.
7. Acting upon the solution valve lever (14) open
and adjust the detergent solution flow.
The water starts to flow automatically acting upon
the levers drive control (12). On the instrument
board the indicator of the solenoid valve switch (5)
will turn on. Releasing these levers, the flow will stop.
Models equipped with the 3S system (optional), it is
necessary to press the suitable switch to activate the
detergent solution supply by choosing between the
traditional adjustment system through the solution
valve or the system of fixed optimum supply (see
under “3S SYSTEM SOLUTION SAVING SYSTEM”).
8. Acting upon the squeegee lifting lever (17) lower
the squeegee.
9. Acting upon the levers drive control (12) the ma-
chine starts to move, the brushes start to rotate and
the squeegee starts to dry.
10. During the first metres check that the squeegee
adjustment guarantees a perfect drying action and
that the detergent solution flow is appropriate. It
has to be sufficient to wet the floor uniformly avoid-
ing the leakage of detergent from the splash guards.
Always consider that the correct quantity of solution
detergent depends on type of floor, dirtiness and
machine speed.
FORWARD MOVEMENT
The traction of the machine is given through an
electronically controlled motor.
To move the machine, act upon the key (9) and then
rotate the levers drive control (12) placed on the
handle bar, in forward you obtain the forward drive,
in reverse the backwards movement is obtained. The
control acts in a progressive way, therefore it is pos-
sible to graduate the speed depending on each re-
quirement rotating the lever whatever it is necessary.
During reverse motion the speed is reduced.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Two values of the maximum drive working speed in
forward movement can be chosen.
Set the wanted speed through the speed selection
switch (2).
ATTENTION:
Moving the machine backwards, make sure that the
squeegee is lifted.
SECURITY DEVICE REVERSE MOVEMENT
A large-sized push button (13), placed on the rear
extremity of the machine is for the automatic drive
inversion. If the operator unintentionally remains
blocked between the machine and an obstacle, this
push button gives the control to invert the machine
when it touches the operator.
WORKING BRAKE
To stop the machine during normal working situa-
tion, it is sufficient to release the levers drive control
(12), as the machine is equipped with an electronic
braking system. The brushes and the detergent solu-
tion flow stop automatically.
EMERGENCY BRAKE
In case of an emergency, an immediate stop can be
obtained acting upon the lever of the emergency
and parking brake (16) by pushing it downwards.
ATTENTION:
This control blocks the machine immediately. The
emergency brake functions also as a parking brake.
To start again to work, release the lever by unblock-
ing the parking button on the lever itself and act
again upon the levers drive control (12).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE BRUSHES PRESSURE
Through the register (1) it is possible to adjust the
brushes pressure on the cleaned surface.
By turning the knob clockwise the pressure increases,
rotating it counterclockwise, the pressure decreases.
This device allows a more efficient cleaning action
also on very difficult and dirty surfaces.
The control of the adjustment value of the set pres-
sure is possible through a sliding indication. Its posi-
tion shows the value indicated on the label placed in
correspondence of the slots where it slides.
On the 24 Volt machines the indicator is placed in
the rear part of the frame inside the battery com-
partment.

GB GB
11
ATTENTION:
In order not to overload the brushes motor, it is con-
venient to reduce the brushes pressure going from
smooth floors to rough ones (ex. concrete).
BRUSHES MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION DE-
VICE
The machine is equipped with a protection device of
the brushes motor. This device blocks the motor
functioning in order to protect it and indicates the
overload on the display (1) with ”AL01”. The block
could be caused by an excessive brushes pressure on
a rough floor. Check the brushes pressure adjust-
ment as indicated in the previous paragraph.
ATTENTION:
To restore the functioning of the brushes motor,

RECOMMENDED BRUSHES
Brushes must be chosen depending on type of floor and dirt to be removed.
The employed material and the bristles diameter are the elements that distinguish different types of brushes.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
PPL (Polypropylene) Good wear resistance. Maintains characteristics with hot water up to 60°C. It is not hygroscopic.
NYLON Excellent wear resistance, even with hot water over 60°C. It is hygroscopic. It looses its physical characteristics over the time.
TYNEX Nylon bristles with grains of abrasive material. Use with caution in order not to mark the floor or ruin the polishing.
BRISTLES THICKNESS
Thicker bristles are more rigid and must be used on smooth floor or floor with small joints. On irregular floors with deep joints or
relieves, it is recommended to use softer bristles which penetrate more easily and deeper. Please be aware that when brush bristles
are worn out and therefore too small, they become rigid and unable to penetrate and clean deeper. This may also happen with
thicker bristles creating brush vibration.
PAD HOLDER
It is equipped with anchor points which permit the blocking of the abrasive pad during work. The pad is recommended to clean smooth floors.
