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. During its advance movement, the combined
action of the brushes and the detergent solution
removes the dirt which is aspirated through the
rear suction assembly, 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
whenever difficulties arise in the course of the
machine's use. In case of need, we ask you to
contact our service department for all advice and
servicing as may prove necessary.
