limit the risks of accidents.
Carry out the following steps if the machine is packed
with a cardboard housing:
- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the pla-
stic straps.
- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the
packed machine.
- Remove the envelops inside and check their con-
tents (use and maintenance manual, battery charger
connector)
- Remove the metallic brackets or plastic straps that
secure the machine to the pallet.
- Release the brushes and the squeegee from the pa-
cking.
- Take the machine off the pallet (pushing it backward)
by using an inclined surface that is solidly attached to
the floor and to the pallet.
Take the same precautions and follow the same in-
structions to remove the optional battery charger
from the packing (holding the special handles to ex-
tract it from the top of the packing) and the optional
battery.
After moving the machine away from all the packing,
start mounting the accessories and the batteries as
per the instructions provided in the specific section.
Keep all the pieces of the packing since they might be
useful in the future to protect the machine and the
accessories during transport to another location or to
authorised service centres. If not, the packing can be
disposed in accordance with current disposal laws.

LIFTING AND TRANSPORT: MACHINE,
BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
• Never use a forklift truck to lift the machine. There
are no places on the frame that can be used to lift the
machine directly.
Before preparing the packing and transporting the
machine:
- Empty the recovery tank and the detergent solution
tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or scrapers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an equiva-
lent one that can bear the weight and is big enough
for the machine's overall dimensions) using an incli-
ned surface.
Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to the
pallet using metallic brackets or other elements that
can bear the weight of the parts.
Lift the pallet with the machine and load it on the
transport vehicle.
Secure the machine and the pallet using ropes con-
nected to the transport vehicle.
As an alternative, when using private transport vehi-
cles, use inclined ramps to push the machine without
the pallet, making sure to protect all parts and the
machine itself against violent impacts, humidity, vi-
brations and accidental movements during transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be ho-
oked for handling.
☞ To lift or insert the battery (into the machine
compartment), use only suitable personnel and
equipment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the operation
and to bear the weight of the loads involved. When
transporting, take the same precautions and follow
the same instructions provided for the machine toge-
ther with those in the special manufacturer's manual.
The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the same
precautions and follow the same instructions provi-
ded for the machine together with those in the spe-
cial manufacturer's manual.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4.1.1. MACHINE
We can summarise the machine's main features as
follows:
- The form of the squeegee, the air flows and the
specially designed rubber blades produce excellent
drying results even on tiled floors. Thanks to the par-
ticular balanced shape of the machine frame and the
squeegee support, no water residues are left behind
in a curve, and even when a smaller squeegee is used.
Excellent distribution of weights and dimensions
thanks also to the heavy weight of the brush plate
and batteries in the centre of the machine.
- A heavy weight on the brushes makes them work
efficiently on the floor. The pressure is generated by
the weight of the plate, without springs or additional
devices that lead to difficulties and inaccuracy. The
entire mass is generated by the hanging weight of a
15 mm steel ship's plate.
- A large volume of water in the tanks reduces dead
time since fewer trips are needed to collect water and
dump dirt. There is no delicate flexible diaphragm
that, at a technical level, is difficult to clean.
- The dirty water tank leaves several litres for decan-
ting any foam
- Robust construction. The frame and squegee are
made in extra thick plate and aluminium 6 mm, 8 mm,
10 mm up to 20 mm – are laser cut and welded. The
brush plate is made from 15 mm ship's sheet metal,
with a surface treatment that protects the plate and
the paint for thousands of hours in a saline fog. All
screws are made with stainless steel; the tanks (body)
are made with 7-8 mm thick shockproof polyethylene.
Everything is simple and very strong, without any
other complicated designs.
- The battery compartment can house very large bat-
teries, which guarantees extended running time.
- The suction motor is housed inside the machine,
thus reducing operating noise to a minimum.
- The recovery tank is very easy to clean due to the
