INTRODUCTORY COMMENT

This floor cleaning machine is used for the industrial and civil cleaning and is able to clean any 
type of floor. During its forward movement, the combined action of the brushes and the detergent 
solution removes the dirt which is aspirated 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 
correctly 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.
