2.3 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

The nameplate located under the dashboard contains

the following information:

•  manufacturer ID

•  CE mark

•  model code

•  model

•  overall power rating

•  serial number

•  year built

•  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.
