TECHNICAL INFORMATION
3.1. General description
This machine is a scrubber drier for sweeping, washing and drying flat, horizontal, smooth
or moderately rough, even and obstacle free floors in civil and industrial premises. It is
available in both battery and cable versions to meet all running time and weight
requirements.
The scrubber drier spreads a solution of water and detergent in the correct concentration
on the floor and then scrubs it to remove the dirt. By carefully choosing the detergent and
brushes (abrasive disks or rollers) from the wide range of accessories available, the
machine can be adapted to a wide range of combinations of types of floor and dirt.
A suction system incorporated in the machine dries the floor after washing by means of
the low pressure generated in the dirty water tank by the suction motor. The squeegee
connected to the tank collects the dirty water.
The machine is moved forward by:
MODEL B mechanical drive:
the scrubber drier is provided with a special mechanical
drive device which exploits the friction between the brush and the floor to generate a
forward movement (for further details, see paragraph 6.7).
MODEL BT electric drive: the scrubber drier is moved forward by means of a special
electromechanical drive device.
3.2. Parts of the machine
The main parts of the machine are as follows (fig. 2):
•
the detergent tank (fig. 2, ref. 7): contains and transports the mixture of clean water and
detergent;
•
the dirty water drum (fig. 2, ref. 2): collects the dirty water picked up from the floor after

which distribute the detergent solution on the floor and remove the dirt;
•
squeegee assembly (fig. 2, ref. 6): wipes and dries the floor by collecting the water.
•
head lift pedal (fig. 2, ref. 3): raises the brush head during transport.
