INTRODUCTORY COMMENT

Thank you for having chosen our machine. 

This floor cleaning machine is used for the in-

dustrial and civil cleaning and is able to clean 

any type of floor. During its advance move-

ment, the combined action of the brushes and 

the detergent solution removes the dirt which 

is aspirated through the rear suction assem-

bly, 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 difficul-

ties 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 servic-

ing as may prove necessary.
