INTRODUCTORY COMMENT

Thank you for having chosen our machine. This floor
cleaning machine is used for the industrial and civil
cleaning and is able to clean any type of floor. Dur-
ing its advance movement, the combined action of
the brushes and the detergent solution removes the
dirt which is aspirated through the rear suction as-
sembly, giving a perfectly dry surface.
The machine must be used only for such purpose. It
gives the best performance if it is used correctly and
maintained in perfect efficiency. We therefore ask
you to read this instruction booklet carefully when-
ever difficulties arise in the course of the machine's
use. In case of need, we ask you to contact our ser-
vice department for all advice and servicing as may
prove necessary.
