INTRODUCTION 

Thank you for having chosen our 
machine. This floor cleaning 
machine is used for industrial and 
commercial cleaning and is able to 
clean any type of floor except 
carpet. During its forward 
movement, the combined action of 
the brushes and the solution 
removes the dirt which is 
recovered through the rear vacuum 
assembly, resulting in a clean dry 
surface. 
The machine must be used only for 
such purpose. It gives the best 
performance if it is used correctly 
and maintained in working order. 
We therefore ask you to read this 
instruction booklet carefully 
whenever difficulties arise in the 
course of the machine’s use. We 
ask you to contact our service 
department for all advice and 
servicing when necessary.
