2.4 SPECIFIC USE

This machine is a floor scrubber-drier: it must be
used to scrub and to vacuum liquids of flat, rigid,
horizontal, smooth or moderately rough and uni-
form floors that are free from obstacles in both civic
and industrial environments. Any other use is pro-
hibited.
Please refer very carefully to the safety information
reported in this manual.
The scrubber-drier distributes a quantity of a water
and detergent solution (adjustable) on the surface
to be cleaned, while the brushes remove any dirt on
the ground. The machine's suction system, using a
ground squeegee, perfectly dries the liquids and
the dirt just removed from the front brushes in a
single pass.
By efficiently combining a cleaning detergent with
various types of brushes (or abrasive disks), the
machine can adapt to all the various combinations
of floors and dirt.
