Adjusting the tilt of the squeegee body:

4. 

Loosen the retainer knob (3) of the squeegee tilt adjustment knob (4) (

Fig.3

).

5. 

To adjust the tilt of the squeegee body rubber blades in relation to the floor, tighten or loosen the 

knob (5) (

Fig.4

) until the blades are bent outwards by about 30° in relation to the floor, in an even 

manner along their entire length.

NB

: make sure the adjustment is correct by looking at the instrument (6) on the squeegee body 

(

Fig.5

).

6. 

Once the adjustment has been completed, tighten the retainer knob (3).

DISPOSAL

To dispose of the machine, take it to a demolition centre or an 

authorised collection centre. Before scrapping the machine, 

it is necessary to remove and separate out the following 

materials, then send them to the appropriate collection centres 

in accordance with the environmental hygiene regulations 

currently in force:

•  Brushes

•  Felt

•  Electric and electronic parts*

•  Batteries

•  Plastic parts (tanks and handlebars)

•  Metal parts (levers and frame)

(*) In particular, contact your distributor when scrapping electric 

and electronic parts.

CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES

POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)

Used on all types of floors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). 

The polypropylene is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in 

wet conditions.

ABRASIVE BRUSH

The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very 

dirty floors. To avoid floor damage, work only with the pressure strictly necessary.

BRISTLE THICKNESS

Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth floors or floors with small joints.

On uneven floors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the 

gaps more easily.

Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no 

longer able to penetrate and clean deep down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush 

tends to jump.

PAD HOLDER

The pad holder is recommended for cleaning shiny surfaces.

There are two types of pad holder:

1. 

The traditional pad holder is fitted with a series of anchor points that allow the abrasive floor pad to 

be held and dragged while working.

2.  The CENTRE LOCK type pad holder not only has anchor points, but also a snap-type central 

locking system in plastic that allows the abrasive floor pad to be perfectly centred and held without 

any risk of it becoming detached. This type of pad holder is recommended above all for machines 

with more than one brush, where the centring of the abrasive discs is difficult.
