2. MACHINE FEATURES AND TECHNICAL DATA

2.1. IDENTIFICATION

The machine is identified by an adhesive plate attached to the protective casing of the steering column,

which contains indelible data regarding “CE” marking.

The plate must never be removed and should always be kept legible. In case of damage,

a duplicate should be ordered. The machine cannot be sold without the plate.

2.2. DESCRIPTION AND COMPONENTS

The BIG 38/48 scrubber-dryer is designed to clean all flat surfaces by washing and then suctioning the waste

water. The scrubber-dryer has a drive system consisting of two gear motors installed on the rear wheels,

directly on the brushes and powered in turn by electric accumulators, as are the suction motors.

The machine uses three rotating brushes to clean the floor surfaces, assisted by the action of the water and

detergent. As the machine travels forward, the rear brush (squeegee), in contact with the floor, collects the

water, which is immediately conveyed by suction to the recovery tank.

The dashboard regulates all the machine functions and provides the operator with an LED system that

indicates the remaining battery capacity and any errors detected by the electronic board, which are displayed

as rapid flashes. All the main functions of the machine can be activated through the dashboard. In detail,

these include:

raising, lowering and switching on the brushes;

regulating the water delivery flow;

starting the suction motors;

lowering/raising the squeegee;

turning the lights on and off;

turning on the flashing beacon and the buzzer;

starting and stopping the machine.

The load-bearing structure of the machine consists of a cold-galvanised or stainless steel chassis, which

prevents oxidation problems that could affect its reliability.

The machine comprises the following main components:

a cold galvanized or stainless steel chassis;
