4.7. OPERATION
Scrubbing operations are highly critical and specific experience will help you choose the right type of
scrubbing brush and detergent and determine whether or not a double cleaning cycle is necessary.
Carry out scrubbing in the following steps:
Start the machine;
Start brush rotation via the special lever;
Start liquid suction via the squeegee;
Lower the squeegee with the special lever (figure 4.9 detail 3);
After completing these steps, the machine will be ready to work.
4.7.1 MACHINE PREPARATION AND START-UP
If your scrubber machine is powered off the mains (electrically powered version), it should be unplugged
from the panel; fill with washing water by lifting the special cover (detail 1 figure 4.10); if your scrubber
machine battery charger is plugged in (battery-powered version), unplug it and connect the battery plug to
the machine power outlet (detail 2 figure 4.10).
The machine can now be started. Scrubbing can now be carried out.
4.7.2 CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Choosing the right detergent is very important for efficient floor cleaning. Too strong a detergent could cause
damages. Low-foaming detergents or foam preventing additives should be used to prevent damages to the
suction motor. If these products cannot be procured, try adding 50cc of common wine vinegar to the recovery
tank before starting the cleaning cycle.
Make sure that the detergent used is suitable for the surface to clean. Fiorentini S.p.A. will
not accept any responsibility for damages caused by too aggressive detergents.
4.7.3 GUIDING HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
The Ecomini machine is equipped with an adjustable angle handle to better adapt to each operator's height
and needs. The handle can be bent forwards until it rests on the machine top side to minimise the machine
footprint when stored (fig. 4.11).
