PRESENTATION
INTENDED USE
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 per-
fect, 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.
- This machine is also suitable for commercial use, for
example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops,
offices, rental businesses and for other than normal
housekeeping purposes.

29- This appliance has been designed for use with the
detergent provided or the detergent specified by the
manufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemi-
cals may put the appliance's safety at risk.
XJ- If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must
be of watertight construction.

BEFORE USE
- UNPACKING THE MACHINE
- ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (fig. pag.3)
If in doubt do not use it and contact your dealer or an Au-
thorised Service Centre.
Insert back hoses as per drawing (fig. 1 7).
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).
For transfer from one room to another, the machine abso-
lutely 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).
- TOP TANK n° 5 (fig. 1)
This has a capacity of about 2.8 litres max. and is designed
to contain the clean 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, re-
move 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. 1 8)
- 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 emp-
tied.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS:
10 AWG
- 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 perfor-
mance 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 2b boiler switch 2b (fig. 1 ) (TO WASH
WITH HOT WATER). Hot water will be on tempera-
ture after few seconds.
- Press button 2 (fig. 1 ) to deliver water or detergent so-
lution, 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 dirt water and deter-
gent solution applied to the floor.
- Move the machine slowly forward and back, follow-
ing 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.
WARNING
- 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 sur-
face to be cleaned and to perfect the method of use.
- Do not leave the machine stationary with the rotat-
ing brush on. This might damage the floor.
- The detergent solution dosage must ensure that the
squeegee blades do not work dry.
