INTENDED USE
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The
ANTEA 50E
is a scrubbing machine that cleans a wide range of flooring and dirt types by means of
the mechanical action of the discoidal brush and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution. It is
capable of cleaning a wide range of floors and types of dirt, moving forward collecting the dirt that has
been removed and the detergent solution that has not been absorbed by the floor.
The appliance must
only be used for this purpose.

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. The appliance
is only suitable for use in indoor - or at least covered - areas.

the appliance is not suitable for use in the rain, or under jets of water.
IT IS FORBIDDEN
to use the appliance 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 co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine operation.
The majority of occupational accidents that happen both 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.
