falling objects.  

 

Do not use the machine as a means of transport.  

 

Adapt the working speed to the adhesion conditions: particularly, 

slow down before narrow curves have to be faced.  

 

 

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL  

 

 

Storage temperature: between 0°C and +55°C (32°F and 131°F).

104°F). 

 

The humidity should not exceed 95%.  

 

Provide for the scrapping of the material of normal wear following 

strictly the respective rules.  

When your machine has to stop activity, provide for the appropriate 

waste disposal of its materials, especially oils, batteries and electronic 

components, and considering that the machine itself has been, where 

possible, constructed using recyclable materials. 

 

 

CORRECT USE 

 

 

Do not use the machine on surfaces covered with inflammable 

liquids or dusts (for example hydrocarbons, ashes or soot). 

 

In case of fire, use a powder based fire-extinguisher.  Do not use 

water. 

 

Do not use the machine in explosive atmosphere.  

 

The machine has to carry out simultaneously the operations of 

washing and drying. Different operations must be carried out in 

restricted areas prohibited to non-authorized personnel and the 

operator has to wear suitable shoes. 

 

Signal the areas of moist floors with suitable signs.  

 

Do not mix different detergents, avoiding harmful odours.  

 

Avoid brush operation when the machine is standing still in order 

to prevent floor damages. 

 

Before lifting the recovery tank, make sure that it is empty.

Where parts are required, ask for ORIGINAL spare parts from the 

distributor and/or from an authorized dealer.

 

 

Use only ORIGINAL brushes indicated in the paragraph 

“RECOMMENDED BRUSHES". 

 

Do not take off the protections which require the use of tools for 

their removal.  

 

Do not wash the machine with direct water, jets or with high water 

pressure nor with corrosive material.  

 

Every 200 working hours have a machine check by an authorized 

service department. 

 

Before using the machine, check that all panels and coverings are
