Immediately check, when receiving the machine, that all the materials indicated on delivery documents have been received
and also that the machine has not been damaged in transit. If it has been damaged, this damage must be immediately re-
ported to the shipper and also to our customer service department. Only acting promptly in this manner will make it possible
to receive missing material and to be compensated for damage.
INTRODUCTION
This is an automatic scrubber which, via the mechanical action of the rotating brush and chemical action of a water/detergent
solution, can clean many types of wood flooring. As it advances, it also collects the dirt removed and the detergent solution
leaving the floor dry.
The machine must be used only for this purpose. Even the best machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in
good working order. We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully and re-read it whenever difficulties arise
while using the machine. Please contact our technical service department if you have any questions about the machine.
