INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Thank you for having chosen our machine. This
floor cleaning machine is used for the industrial
and civil cleaning, suitable for hard and not very
rough floorings. During its advance movement,
the combined action of the brushes and the de-
tergent solution removes the dirt which is aspi-
rated through the rear suction assembly, giving a
perfectly dry surface.
The machine must be used only for such purpose.
It gives the best performance if it is used cor-
rectly and maintained in perfect efficiency. We
therefore ask you to read this instruction booklet
carefully whenever difficulties arise in the course
of the machine’s use.
In case of need, we ask you to contact our service
department for all advice and servicing as may
prove necessary.

working a damage is noticed, stop the machine
immediately and take off the plug from the
mains socket. Replace with the special cable
available at the authorized center of the techni-
cal assistance.
- In bad mains conditions, the machine could
cause transitory voltage drops.
- Avoid working with the brushes when the ma-
chine stands still, in order to prevent floor dam-
ages.

with inflammable liquids or dusts (for example
hydrocarbons, ashes or soot).

Do not use water.
- Do not strike shelvings or scaffoldings, where
there is danger of falling objects.

conducting simple maintenance procedures.
Otherwise, ask for technical advice to an author-
ized assistance centre.

spare parts to the distributor and/or to an au-
thorized dealer.
- Use only ORIGINAL brushes indicated in the
paragraph “RECOMMENDED BRUSHES".
- For any cleaning and/or maintenance operation
take off the power supply from the machine.
- Do not take off the protections which require
the use of tools to be removed.
- Do not wash the machine with direct water jets
or with high water pressure nor with corrosive
material.
- Every 200 working hours have a machine check

and coverings are in their position as indicated in
this use and maintenance catalogue.
- Be sure the recovery tank is empty before re-
moving it.
- Restore all electrical connections after any
maintenance operation.
- Provide for the scrapping of the material of
normal wear following strictly the respective
rules.
- When your machine has to stop activity, pro-
vide for the appropriate waste disposal of its ma-

and considering that the machine itself has been,
where possible, constructed using recyclable ma-
terials.
