TECHNICAL INFORMATION

General description

This machine is a scrubber dryer for sweeping, washing and drying at, horizontal, smooth or moderately rough, uniformly

structured and obstacle-free oors in civil and industrial premises. The scrubber dryer spreads a solution of water and detergent in

the correct concentration on the oor and then scrubs it to remove the dirt. By carefully choosing the detergent and brushes (or

abrasive disks) from the wide range of accessories available, the machine can be adapted to a wide range of combinations of types

of oor and dirt.

The machine incorporates a wet vacuuming system which dries the oor immediately after washing. The drying action is

produced by the suction motor, which generates a partial vacuum in the dirty water tank. Squeegees mounted beneath the tank

are designed to collect the lm of dirty water with the machine moving in both forward and reverse directions.

Key

The main parts of the machine are as follows:

• The water/detergent tank (g. 1, ref. 1) contains and carries the mixture of clean water and cleaning product.

• The dirty water tank (g. 1, ref. 2) collects the dirty water picked up from the oor after washing;

• Control panel (g. 1, ref. 3).

• Head assembly (g. 1, ref. 4), the main element comprises the brush that spreads the detergent solution over the oor

and washes the surface, bringing about the removal of the dirt.

• Front squeegee assembly (g. 1, ref. 5), which wipes and dries the oor when the machine is pulled toward the operator.

• Rear squeegee assembly (g. 1, ref. 6), which wipes and dries the oor when the machine is pushed forward by the

operator.

• Battery (g. 1, ref. 7).

Accessories

• Tilt the machine backwards and rest the handle on the oor.

• Clean the blades of both squeegees with a moist cloth (g. 37, ref. 1).

• Clean the suction inlet port of both squeegees (g. 37, ref. 2).

Squeegee adjustment

The squeegee is factory-adjusted to give an optimum drying action on dierent types of oor surface,

but in the event that results do not meet expectations, there are further adjustments that can be

made. To ensure a faultless drying action, the lip of the squeegee blade should deect 45° along its

entire length, relative to the oor surface; the height of the squeegee can be adjusted by raising or

lowering the wheels (g. 38, ref. 1).

17Operations Manual Micro-5

Replacing the squeegee blades

The squeegee blades collect the lm of water and detergent from the oor and prepare the way for

perfect drying. With time, the constant wiping action causes the edge of the blade in contact with the

oor to become rounded and cracked, with the result that drying is less thorough and the blade must

be replaced. Proceed as follows:

• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them on the oor, referring to

the section “Emptying the water/detergent tank” and “Emptying the dirty water tank”.

• Pull the handle up perpendicular to the machine.

• Tilt the machine backwards and rest the handle on the oor.

Front squeegee:

• Detach the suction hose from the squeegee (g. 39, ref. 1).

• Unscrew the knobs (g.39, ref. 2).

• Separate the squeegee from the machine (g. 40, ref. 1).

• Pull out the blade, so as to free the entire assembly (g. 41).

• Remove the blade.

• Either ret the same blade with the wiping edges reversed, so that it can be used until both

edges are worn out, or replace with a new blade, clipping it to the slots in the body of the

squeegee;

• Ret the squeegee to the machine, following the instructions described previously.

Rear squeegee:

• Lower the squeegee control lever.

• Detach the suction hose from the squeegee (g. 42, ref. 1).

• Unscrew the knobs (g.42, ref. 2).

• Pull out the blade, so as to free the entire assembly (g. 43, ref. 1).

• Remove the blade (g. 44).

• Either ret the same blade with the wiping edges reversed, so that it can be used until both

edges are worn out, or replace with a new blade, clipping it to the slots in the body of the

squeegee;

• Ret the squeegee to the machine, following the instructions described previously.

18 Operations Manual Micro-5

Replacing the brush

The brush presents a number of tufts, coloured red, with bristles shorter in length than

the rest (g. 45). When the tufts of black bristles wear down to the same length as the red

bristles, the brush must be replaced. For directions on replacement of the brush, refer to the

sections “Releasing the brush/pad driver” and “Fitting the brush/pad driver”.

Periods of Inactivity

Proceed as follows to prepare the machine for extended periods of inactivity:

• Remove the battery from the machine, referring to the section “Battery: removal”

and recharge it fully, referring to the section “Battery: preparation / installation /

recharging”. The battery should also be recharged regularly when the machine is

not in use, so as to keep it constantly at the maximum charge level.

• Clean the squeegee blades with a moist cloth, referring to the section “Cleaning the

squeegees”.

• Open up and clean the chamber of the diverter valve, referring to the section “Cleaning the diverter valve”.

• Detach and clean the suction hoses of the squeegees, referring to the section “Cleaning the front squeegee suction hose”

and “Cleaning the rear squeegee suction hose”.

• Make certain the tanks have been emptied completely and are perfectly clean, referring to the section “Emptying the

dirty water tank” and “Emptying the water/detergent tank”.

• Stow the machine in the parking position, referring to the section “Selection of parking position”.

! WARNING: If the batteries are not recharged regularly as described above, they may be irrevocably damaged. The manufacturer

is not liable for any malfunctions resulting from neglect, improper and/or incorrect use.

! WARNING: When the batteries are at, make sure they are not left for an extended time without charging to avoid shortening battery

life. Check battery charge at least once a week.
