PRESENTATION

The machine is designed to wash and dry hard
surfaces, in an environment-friendly way, since
the mechanical action of the revolving brush allows
cleaning with the aid of water only. As the machine
moves forward, the dirt removed by the brush and
the liquid delivered to dissolve it are picked up by
the sucking action of the machine, which allows
perfect, instantaneous drying.
Operation with a water and detergent solution is
possible for stubborn dirt, disinfection or giving
fragrance to surfaces.
The machine must only be used for this
purpose.
It provides its best performance if used correctly
and kept in perfect working order. You are therefore
requested to read this instruction manual carefully
and to reread it whenever difficulties arise in use
of the machine.

BEFORE USE

UNPACKING THE MACHINE
The machine is sold with all parts already
assembled except for back hoses, not mounted
on the machine. After removing the machine
from the packaging make sure that it is intact.
If in doubt do not use it and contact your dealer
or an Authorised Service Centre.
Insert back hoses as per drawing (fig.17).
Read the technical data sticker (fig.2) carefully,
and make sure that the machine is electrically
compatible with the mains to which it is to be
connected.
The packaging must be disposed of in
accordance with the laws in force, taking care
not to leave hazardous parts in reach of children
(e.g. plastic bags and small parts).

OPERATION OF THE PEDAL n

9 (fig. 2)

USE POSITION: To use the machine simply
release the pedal by pressing it and tilt the
steering handle (fig.3).

TRANSPORT POSITION: For transfer from
one room to another, the machine absolutely
must be switched off and the brush and
squeegee blades must be raised above the
ground (fig.4). To connect the handle rigidly to
the base, tilt the handle forward until the pedal
locks, engaging the catch (fig.5).

PUSH-BUTTON LAYOUT
The machine is equipped with 3 push-buttons
(fig.1) with the following functions:
1. Master and washing brush rotation switch
2. Delivery of detergent liquid
3. Suction of the liquid delivered

TOP TANK n

5 (fig. 1)

This has a capacity of about 2.8 litres max.
and is designed to contain the clean detergent
liquid. The machine needs at least one litre of
solution in the tank to be able to start delivery.
To avoid making the machine heavier than
necessary, only the amount of liquid strictly
necessary to clean the surface for washing
should be placed in the top liquid tank.

REMOVAL:

Simply turn the cap-knob anti-clockwise until
the retainer is released (fig.6) and separate
the tank from the handle (fig.7). To open the
filler inlet, remove the cap-knob by pulling it
towards you.

FILTER UNIT n

6 (fig.1)

This conveys the dirty liquid sucked up by the
squeegee blades to the bottom tank.

REMOVAL:
Lift it off the bottom tank by taking hold of it at
the sides and connect it to the support provided
(fig.8).
It is important not to bend the dirty liquid lines
at an acute angle (fig.18)

BOTTOM TANK n

8 (fig.1)

This collects the dirty liquid sucked up during
drying

REMOVAL:
This can only be removed after removal of the
top tank and filter unit. It must be emptied
whenever the machine is filled up with clean
detergent liquid.
To remove it, take hold of it in the gripping
zone, lift it slightly until it disengages from the
back of the handle and extract it (fig.8).

DETERGENT LIQUID
The detergent liquid may consist of pure water
or of water to which a small amount of non-
foaming detergent specifically for floor cleaning
machines, of the type supplied with the
machine, has been added. It is important to
comply with the dosage recommended on the
pack to avoid the production of foam, which
may damage the suction circuit.
Before fitting the tank filled with the clean
solution on the machine, make sure that the
collection tank has been emptied.

CLEANING PAVED SURFACES

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS:
-

Fill the machine with water and floor detergent.

Prepare the surface for cleaning by using a
brush or vacuum cleaner to remove crumbs,
hairs, soil, lumps of dust, etc. The machine
will give its best performance on surfaces which
have first been brushed, so they are ready for
washing and drying.

Connect the plug of the power lead to the mains
socket.

Press the handle release pedal (fig.2).

WASHING TECHNIQUE:
-

Press button 1 (fig.1) to start the brush rotating.

Press button 2 (fig.1) to deliver the detergent
liquid, setting the dosage to suit the type of
surface and the type of dirt and trying not to
use more than necessary.

Press button 3 (fig.1) to suck up the detergent
applied to the floor.

Move the machine slowly forward and back,
following a washing pattern as shown in figure
9 if possible.

Keep using the rotating brush in the most
difficult points to remove the most stubborn
dirt.

WARNINGS
-

Before starting to wash the floor, users are
advised to try out the machine on a small area
to check whether the detergent about to be
used is suitable for the surface to be cleaned
and to perfect the method of use.

Do not leave the machine stationary with the
rotating brush on. This might damage the floor.

The detergent solution dosage must ensure
that the squeegee blades do not work dry.
