TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The
RIDENT R36 PLUS
is a floor scrubbing machine that's capable of handling a wide variety of
floors and types of dirt thanks to the mechanical action of two or three brushes and the chemical
action of a water-detergent solution. As it advances, it collects the dirt removed, as well as the
detergent solution not absorbed by the flooring itself.
The machine must only be used for this
purpose
.
INTENDED USE
This scrubbing machine was designed and built for the cleaning (scrubbing and drying) of smooth,
compact flooring in the commercial, residential and industrial sectors by a qualified operator in proven
safety conditions. The scrubbing machine is not suitable for cleaning rugs or carpet floors. It is only
suitable for use in closed (or at least covered) places.
ATTENTION:
the machine is not suitable for use in the rain, or under water jets.
IT IS FORBIDDEN
to use the machine for picking up dangerous dusts or inflammable liquids
in places with an explosive atmosphere. In addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport
for people or objects.
SAFETY
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can
be effective without the full cooperation of the person directly responsible for machine operation. The
majority of occupational accidents that happen either in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by
failure to respect the most basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most effective guarantee
against accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.
INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Any floor scrubbing machine can only work properly and effectively if used correctly and kept in full
working order by performing the maintenance operations described in the attached documentation.
We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully and read it again whenever difficulties
arise while using the machine. If necessary, remember that our assistance service (organised in
collaboration with our dealers) is always available for advice or direct intervention.
