The machine must be exclusively used by authorised, trained personnel. 

 

Do not use the machine on surfaces with an inclination greater than the one shown on the plate.  

 

The machine is not suitable for cleaning rough or uneven floors. Do not use the machine on slopes. 

 

If the power supply cable of the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorised service centre immediately. 

 

n case of danger, disconnect the battery connector on the rear of the machine. 

 

For all maintenance interventions, switch off the machine and disconnect the battery connector and/or the power supply cable. 

 

Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device. 

 

During the working of the machine, pay attention to other people and especially to children. 

 

Only use the brushes supplied with the machine, or those specified in the "CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES" paragraph of the instruction 

manual. The use of other brushes could compromise safety levels. 

 

The machine must only be powered with a voltage equal to the one shown on the serial number plate

.

 

WARNING: 

 

The machine is not suitable for use by children and persons with reduced physical, mental and sensory capabilities, or people who lack experience and 

knowledge.

°

C and +55

°

C; do not store outdoors in damp conditions. 

 

Conditions of use: room temperature between 0

°

°C and 40

°

°C with relative humidity between 30 and 95%. 

 

The socket for the machine's power cable (electric version) or for the battery charger power cable (battery version) must be correctly earthed. 

 

Adapt the speed to the adhesion conditions. 

 

Do not use the machine as a means of transport. 

 

The machine does not cause harmful vibrations. 

 

Do not use the machine in an explosive atmosphere. 

 

Do not vacuum inflammable liquids. 

 

Do not use the device to collect dangerous powders. 

 

Do not mix different types of detergent as this may produce harmful gases. 

 

The machine is not suitable for cleaning carpets. 

 

Do not place any liquid containers on the machine. 

 

Avoid working with the brushes when the machine is standing still, so as not to damage the floor. 

 

In the event of a fire, use a powder extinguisher. Do not use water. 

 

Do not knock against shelving or scaffolding, where there is a danger of falling objects. The operator must always be equipped with the appropriate 

safety devices (gloves, shoes, helmet, goggles, etc.). 

 

The machine is designed to carry out the scrubbing and drying operations simultaneously. Different operations should only be carried out in areas 

where the passage of unauthorised persons is prohibited. Signal the presence of damp floors with suitable signs. 

 

If the machine does not work properly, check this is not caused by failure to carry out routine maintenance. Otherwise, ask for intervention of the 

authorised technical assistance centre. 

 

If you need to replace any components, request the ORIGINAL spare parts from an Authorised dealer and/or Retailer. 

 

Restore all electrical connections after any maintenance interventions. 

 

Before using the machine, check that all the hatches and covers are positioned as shown in this Use and Maintenance Manual. 

 

Do not remove the guards that can only be removed with the aid of tools, except for maintenance work (see the relevant paragraphs) 

 

Do not wash the machine with direct water jets or with pressurised water, nor with corrosive substances. 

 

To prevent scaling in the solution tank filter, do not fill the tank with detergent solution many hours before using the machine. 

 

Do not use acid or basic solutions that could damage the machine and/or harm people. 

 

Have the machine checked by an authorised technical assistance centre every year. 

 

When disposing of consumable materials, observe the laws and regulations in force. 

 

When your machine has reached the end of its long working life, dispose of the materials it contains (especially oils, batteries and electronic 

components) in an appropriate manner, taking into account that the machine itself was constructed using 100% recyclable materials. 

 

The batteries must be removed from the machine before its disposal. The batteries must be disposed of in a safe manner, fully observing the laws and 

regulations in force.
