2.4 SPECIFIC USE
This machine is a floor scrubber-drier: it must be used
to scrub and to vacuum liquids of flat, rigid, horizontal,
smooth or moderately rough and uniform floors that are
free from obst acles in both civic and industrial
environments. Any other use is prohibited.
Please refer very carefully to the safety information
reported in this manual.
The scrubber-drier distributes a quantity of a water and
detergent solution (adjustable) on the surface to be
cleaned, while the brushes remove any dirt on the
ground. The machine's suction system, using a ground
squeegee, perfectly dries the liquids and the dirt just
removed from the front brushes in a single pass.
By efficiently combining a cleaning detergent with various
types of brushes (or abrasive disks), the machine can
adapt to all the various combinations of floors and dirt.
