GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Excentr Daily 35 is designed to easily clean almost all types of floors. In combination with the interchangeable pads, the machine is very versatile: from carpet cleaning to (chemical-free!) stripping or polishing of parquet. The plastic bumpers on all sides enable you to accurately work on sides. What makes the Excentr Daily 35 unique is the so-called Excentr method: the high velocity of 2800 small movements per minute. This results in an unmatched operation of the pad. The machine gives you the feeling that it ‘floats’ across the floor, which makes it easy and relaxed to handle the machine during operation. An integrated clean water tank, waste water tank, and powerful suction nozzle allow the whole cleaning process to be completed in one go. The base of the machine is a robust stainless steel frame with a set of wheels to which the pad

holder with vibrating rubbers is attached. A 0.25kW electro motor with eccentric is attached to the frame and drives the pad holder. The frame features a removable plastic scrubbing water tank and a clean water tank. To operate, a hinged stainless steel handle with a T-handlebar is installed on the frame, so the handle can be held to the correct height for each height requirement. Two sturdy wheels have been installed as such that the lever action of the handle can tilt the machine backward for easy movement.

MACHINE OVERVIEW

INTENDED USE
The Daily 35 Scrubber/dryer is developed for:

• Cleaning small and medium-sized floor surfaces, with the use of the exchangeable pads and/or accessories that are applicable for a task.
• The duty cycle is 100% under normal use and in case of good workmanship.
• Manufactured in accordance with IP54 for use with (scrub) water.

WARNING!
Any use other than that mentioned above will relieve EXCENTR BV of all its responsibilities!

Use for other purposes has not been examined (yet) by Excentr. When considering other applications, please contact Excentr IN ADVANCE to discuss whether the machine is actually suitable. During operation, the person stands BEHIND the machine with both hands (loosely) on the T-handlebar.

WARNING!
The machine does NOT comply with the ATEX directive and this version may NOT be used in any such environment!

TECHNICAL DATA

• Insulation: Rim earthing
• Insulation class: IP54 (dust-tight /splash-proof)

Wear parts
Wear parts are components found inside the machine, that do not fall under the guarantee due to:

• increased contact with the product.
• Normal wear by normal use.

The worn parts in this machine include:

• The rubber buffers
• The exchangeable pads
• The suction nozzle rubber

Vibrations of hand-arm system

• Avg. value: 2.6 m/s2,
• Max. deviation: 0.3 m/s2.
• (Values have not yet been measured, but taken from a similar machine.)

Noise emissions
When the machine is operated the measured noise level is 75 dB(A). Experience shows that the noise emission of the machine depends heavily on the surface and space of operation. This can result in situations in which the noise level is significantly higher because of ‘echo’ sounds. Excentr therefore advises that you always have ear protection at your disposal. From www.arboportaal.nl: The danger of noise hearing impairment for employees begins at 80 dB (A). According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the employer must provide hearing protection above this value. At 83 dB(A) an employee may only work four hours without hearing protection, at which there may be no unacceptably high risk of hearing damage. In the remaining 4 hours there may no longer be any high noise levels. It is mandatory for an employee to use ear protection if the average daily dose is higher than 85 dB(A).

SAFETY

General
Next, you can see the labels that have been applied to the machine. Make sure that the workplace is always well illuminated; possibly install extra temporary (construction) lighting to retain a clear overview.

• Possibly apply a preservative.
• Store the machine in a dry and frost-free location.

TRANSPORT
The basic machine (empty) weighs approximately 23 kg and can be lifted by one person. The machine must be transported in an upright position, preferably with the handle in the top-most position:

• Put the handle in a vertical position so it locks into position.
• The handle can now be used to easily tilt the machine backward for transport (like a sack truck)
• Grip the machine at the front and back when lifting it

USE

Check before you start
You are working with (scrub) water and a 220 V machine. Make sure that:

• The mains voltage is 220 V
• The earth connection functions properly
• A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is installed

Check the cables for damage: both the short power cable as well as the extension cord! If you detect any deviations: solve these first before you start to work!

• Before starting treatment with the Excentr Daily 35, examine the floor for color and shape retention.
• Before you start, check if the correct pad for the job is attached.
• Remove the waste water tank of the Daily 35.
• Fill the bottom tank with clean mains water.
• The clean water tank has a capacity of ca. 8 liters; the waste water tank has a capacity of ca. 10 liters.
• Always empty the waste water tank when filling the clean water tank. This will prevent excessive intake of wastewater.
• Make sure the waste water tank is empty; check that the rubber seal on the coupling of the suction hose is in place and the waste water tank is back on top of the clean water tank.

Accessories

Turn the machine OFF and remove the plug from the wall outlet before you install/adjust accessories.

Liquid suction nozzle

•  A separate suction hose is available for finishing corners and edges and can be easily inserted into the waste water tank.
• The suction opening will be deactivated when the suction hose is installed.
• Never suck up hot and flammable liquids, this is dangerous!

Use of cleaning agents
When you use cleaning agents, pay special attention to the use instructions mentioned on the labels. Use only low-foam cleaning agents that do not have any combustible components added to it and raw materials that can pose a health risk. Also, the use of cleaning products that contain toxic, irritating or skin-damaging substances is subject to hazards. Cleaning agents which contain solvents that can corrode plastics, can also damage parts of the machine.

Let’s go

• Roll the machine to the place where it is going to be used.
• Check the ON/OFF switches are switched OFF.
• Insert the extension cable in the machine plug and in a properly grounded wall socket
• Push with your foot on the locking pin to release the T-handle.
• Push the right switch ON: the motor starts and the pad starts working.

During work, the machine can moved in all directions easily and with little force. Work in long tracks up and down, not in short back-and-forth-going movements You can use the switch on the LEFT to add scrubbing water to the pad. The switch in the MIDDLE can be used to activate the suction motor so dirty scrubbing water can be sucked up again. Always turn the machine OFF immediately when you quit working, or else the floor can be damaged. Take the plug out of the socket.

End of the job

• Turn off the machine.
• Put the handle in a vertical position.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Remove the waste water tank and empty it.
• Use mains water to rinse the waste water tank; this will help to avoid odors.
• Put the clean tank back on the machine.
• Tilt the machine backward until the handle reaches the ground.
• Clean the suction unit.
• Check the condition of the pad.

MAINTENANCE

PLEASE NOTE:
Regular checks and structural preventive maintenance reduce the likelihood of malfunctions during operation.

Lubricants
A can of WD-40 is the only necessary lubricant for maintenance.
