2. GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 SCOPE OF THE MANUAL

To make it easier to read about and look up various

subjects, refer to the table of contents at the beginning

of the section in your language.

This manual has been prepared by the manufacturer

and is an integral part of the product. As such, it must

be kept in a safe place for the machine’s entire service

life until demolition.

The customer must ensure that machine operators

have read or are familiar with the contents of this manual

so that they strictly follow the instructions described

herein.

Constant compliance with the instructions provided in

this manual is the only way to guarantee the best results

in terms of safety, performance, efficiency and service

life of the product you now own. Non-compliance with

these rules may cause injuries to people and damage

to  the  machine,  the  scrubbed  surface  and  the

environment: in no case can such injuries or damage

be attributed to the manufacturer.

This manual refers in detail to the machine and provides

instructions and descriptions only about our batteries

and battery chargers (optional).

The  batteries  and  the  battery  charger  are  basic

complementary machine parts and will affect its operation

in terms of running time and performances. Only the

correct combination of the two accessories (batteries

and battery charger) will ensure the highest possible

performances and avoid wasting lots of money. For

more detailed information refer to the special battery

and battery charger manuals.

Our  recommended  battery  chargers  and  batteries

(optionals) ensure the best combination with the machine

and offer outstanding versatility (battery charger) as

well as the category’s highest quality and performance

standards.

2.2 TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOL LEGEND

For the sake of clarity and to efficiently highlight the

various aspects of the instructions provided, terms and

symbols were used that are defined and illustrated here

below:

- Machine

. This definition replaces the commercial

name to which this manual refers.

- Operator

. An operator is considered the person who

normally uses the machine and is familiar with its

operating  features  but  does  not  have  the  specific

technical skills to work on that machine.

- Technician

. A technician is considered a person who

has the experience, technical education, legislative and

regulatory knowledge that allows him to carry out any

type of required work, and the ability to recognise and

to avoid possible risks during machine installation,

operation, handling and maintenance.

- INDICATION SYMBO

L (

). Particularly important

information to avoid machine malfunctions.

- ATTENTION SYMBOL

 ( ). Very important information

to avoid serious damage to the machine and to the

environment in which it operates.

- DANGER SYMBOL 

(   ). Vital information to avoid

serious (or extreme) consequences affecting the health

of persons and causing damage to the product and the

environment in which it operates.

2.3 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

The nameplate located under the dashboard, above

the battery connector, contains the following information:

•  manufacturer ID

•  CE mark

•  model code

•  model

•  power supply voltage

•  overall power rating

•  splash guard

•  serial number

•  year built

•  maximum tolerable slope

•  dry weight

•  weight with maximum load

2.4 SPECIFIC USE

This machine is a floor scrubber-drier: it must be used

to scrub and to vacuum liquids of flat, rigid, horizontal,

smooth or moderately rough and uniform floors that

are free from obstacles in both civic and industrial

environments. Any other use is prohibited.

Please refer very carefully to the safety information

reported in this manual.

The scrubber-drier distributes a quantity of a water and

detergent solution (adjustable) on the surface to be

cleaned, while the brushes remove any dirt on the

ground. The machine’s suction system, using a ground

squeegee, perfectly dries the liquids and the dirt just

removed from the front brushes in a single pass.

By efficiently combining a cleaning detergent with

various types of brushes (or abrasive disks), the machine

can adapt to all the various combinations of floors and

dirt.

2.5 TECHNICAL MODIFICATIONS

This machine was designed and built in accordance

with the fundamental requirements for user safety and

health as set forth in European directives. For this

reason the CE mark was placed on the ID label. The

European directives to which the equipment conforms

are referenced in the 

Certificate of conformity

 annexed

to this manual. This certificate will no longer be valid

if the equipment is modified in any way without the

manufacturer’s prior authorisation.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical

modifications to the product, without prior notice, in

order to make the necessary technical upgrades or

improvements. For this reason, some details of your

machine may be different from the information in the

sales catalogues or from the illustrations presented in

this booklet. However, this will not reduce safety or

invalidate the information supplied to this regard.

3. SAFETY INFORMATION

3.1 BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Carefully read the “instruction manual” before

starting, using, performing unscheduled or routine

maintenance or any other work on the machine.

  Rigorously  comply  with  all  the  instructions

provided in this manual and in those for the batteries

and battery chargers (with particular attention to

warnings and danger notices).
