packing can be disposed in accordance with cur-
rent disposal laws.

UNBLOCKING
CHANICAL BRAKE
• When the machine is switched off or wi- thout
batteries the electromechanical brake is blocking
the machine and it is not possible to move it.
To unblock the electromechanical brake it is ne-
cessary to operate on the traction motor in the
front wheel ( Photo M1 - 2 ) following the proce-
dure mentioned here below:
- Screw the pin ( Photo M2 - 2 ) and the unblock-
ing lever ( Photo M2 - 1 ) in the fork seating (
Photo M1 - 1 )
- Pull the pin outwards ( Photo M3 )
- Rotate the lever towards the motor ( Photo M4 )
- Block the lever on the motor in order that the
fork lever ( Photo M1 - 1 ) will be fixed in the
outer position ( Photo M5 ).
Once the machine have been moved, it is ne-
cessary to carry out the same procedure on the
contrary in order to replace the fork lever in the
machine working position ( Photo M1 - 1 ).
Remove the pin and lever
• WARNING: Before using the machine be sure
that the fork lever is in the machine working
position ( Photo M1 - 1 ).

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 solu-
tion tank.
- Disassemble the squeegee and the brushes or
pad drivers.
- Disconnect and remove the batteries.
Place the machine on the original pallet (or an
equivalent one that can bear the weight and is
big enough for the machine's overall dimensions)
using an inclined surface.
Solidly anchor the machine and the squeegee to
the pallet using metallic brackets or other ele-
ments 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
connected to the transport vehicle.
As an alternative, when using private transport
vehicles, use inclined ramps to push the machine
without the pallet, making sure to protect all parts
and the machine itself against violent impacts,
THE
ELECTROME-
humidity, vibrations and accidental movements
during transport.
The battery boxes have holes where tools can be
hooked for handling.
• To lift or insert the battery (into the machine
compartment), use only suitable personnel and
equipment (cables, eyehooks, etc.) for the opera-
tion and to bear the weight of the loads involved.
When transporting, take the same precautions
and follow the same instructions provided for the
machine together with those in the special manu-
facturer's manual.
The battery charger can be transported on its sup-
ports, both vertically and horizontally. Take the
same precautions and follow the same instruc-
tions provided for the machine together with
those in the special manufacturer's manual.
5. TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
5.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
We can summarise the machine's main features as
follows:
-
The form of the squeegee, the air flows
and the specially designed rubber blades pro-
duce excellent drying results even on tiled floors.
Thanks to the particular balanced shape of the
machine frame and the squeegee support, no wa-
ter residues are left behind in a curve, and even
when a smaller squeegee is used.
-
Excellent distribution of weights and
geometries: the centre of gravity is very low, also
thanks to the very heavy brush plate and because
the batteries are located at the level of the wheels.
-
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 ad- ditional devices that lead to difficul-
ties and inaccu- racy. 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 re-
duces 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 dif-
ficult to clean.
-
A few dozen litres of water in the recov-
ery tank are used to decant any foam (dangerous
for the suction motor).
-
The traction system is designed for the
machine weights, making the machine responsive
and easy to handle.
-
Robust construction. The frame and the
squee-
gee, built with thick sheet metal - thickness 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
