INTRODUCTORY COMMENT

Floor scrubber-dryer. via the mechanical action of the rotating brush and the chemical adion of a water/detergent solution, can clean any type of flooring. As ii advances. it also collects the dirt removed and the detergent solution not absorbed by the floor. Even the best machines will only work well if used COIT8Clly and kept in good wooong order. We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully and read it again whenever difficulties arise while using the machine. If necessary, remember that our assistance service (organized in collaboration with our dealers) is always available for advice or direct intervention.

CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES

POLYPROPYLENEBRUSH(PPL)
Used on all types of Roors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 60 °
C). The Polypropylene brush is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions.
NYLON BRUSH
Used on all types of Roors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 60 °
C). The Nylon brush is hygroscopic and easy-extended; as a result it cannot retain its characteristics when working in wet conditions.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The brisUes of this type of brush are extremely hard. It is used to clean very dirty Roors. To avoid Roar damage, work only with the pressure strictly necessary.
STEEL BRUSH
II is made up of steel wire and artificial fiber blends and used to clean rough roads, Roars with big joints or dirt which is difficult to clean up.
THICKNESS OF THE BRISTLES
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth floors or floors with small joints.
On uneven floors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer brisdes which can enter the gaps more easily.
Remember that when the brisUes are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no longer able to penetrate and clean deep down. In this case. like with over-large brisdes, the brush tends to jump.
