GENERAL INFORMATION Read this manual carefully before carrying out any work on the machine 2.1. Scope of the manual This manual has been written by the Manufacturer and is an integral part of the machine. It defines the purpose for which the machine has been designed and constructed and contains all the information required by operators In addition to this manual containing all user information, other publications are available providing specific information for maintenance personnel...
2.2. Identifying the machine The rating plate provides the following information: • model; • power supply; • total nominal power; • serial number; • year of fabrication; • dry weight; • maximum slope; • barcode with serial number; • manufacturer's identification. 2.3.
! DANGER When the tank assembly (CT230) is raised, the gas spring on the left side of the machine (fig. T) must be locked in place by turning the green ring to the closed padlock position to prevent the tanks from closing accidentally. B -Control panel danger of short circuit.

! DANGER When the tank assembly (CT230) is raised, the gas spring on the left side of the machine (fig. T) must be locked in place by turning the green ring to the closed padlock position to prevent the tanks from closing accidentally. The tank assembly MUST ALWAYS BE lowered/raised using the handles incorporated in the tank (fig.
HANDLING AND INSTALLATION 5.1. Lifting and transporting the packaged machine IMPORTANT During all lifting operations, make sure the packaged machine is firmly anchored to avoid it tipping up or being accidentally dropped. Always load/unload lorries in adequately lit areas. The machine, packaged on a wooden pallet by the Manufacturer, must be loaded using suitable equipment (see EC Directive 2006/42 and subsequent amendments and/or additions) onto the transporting vehicle.
The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph on the technical specification of the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor overheating. Batteries with a lower capacity and weight will require charging more frequently. They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.
CT230 • Make sure the two tanks are empty (if necessary, empty them, see relevant section), then unscrew the safety knob (fig. C, ref. 1). • Lift the tank assembly and rotate it inwards, providing access to the battery compartment from the top (fig. C, ref. 2). ! DANGER The tank assembly (CT 230) MUST ALWAYS BE raised using the handles incorporated in the tank (fig.
5.5. The battery charger IMPORTANT Never allow the batteries to become excessively flat as this could damage them irreparably. 5.5.1. Choosing the battery charger Make sure the battery charger is compatible with the batteries to be charged: − tubular lead batteries: you are recommended to use an automatic battery charger Consult the battery charger manufacturer and manual to confirm the choice.

• Brush button (MANUAL OPERATION) (fig. B, ref. 8): enables (LED on) and disables (LED off) brush operation and head raising and lowering. • Suction button (MANUAL OPERATION) (fig. B, ref. 9): starts and stops the suction motor responsible for drying the floor being washed. When the suction motor is turned on, the squeegee is automatically lowered.
6.2. Mounting and adjusting the squeegee The squeegee (fig. E) is responsible for the first phase of drying. To mount the squeegee on the machine, proceed as follows: • make sure the squeegee mount (fig. E, ref. 1) is raised; •...
Releasing the brushes on a roller head: repeat the above procedure in reverse. Attaching the side brushes (when present): to facilitate transport, the side brushes are not installed in the operating position. To install the side brushes, proceed as follows: •...
• prepare the work area by removing all possible obstacles; • begin working from the furthermost point to avoid walking on the area you have just cleaned; • choose the straightest possible working routes; • divide large floors into parallel rectangular sections. If necessary, finish off by passing a mop or rag rapidly over parts inaccessible to the scrubber drier.
brushes using the regulation screw (fig. G, ref. 1). The quantity can be adjusted from 0.5% to 3% per litre of water. IMPORTANT Empty the dirty water tank each time you fill the detergent tank. • when the dirty water tank is full, the corresponding level indicator comes on (fig. B, ref. 11) and after a few seconds the suction motor shuts down.
Use suitable personal protection devices. The dirty water tank drain hose is at the back of the machine on the right. To empty the tank: • move the machine near a drain; • remove the drain hose (fig. H, ref. 1) from its housing; •...
Do not check the batteries by sparking. The batteries give off flammable fumes. Put out all fires and hot embers before checking or topping up the batteries. Perform the operations described above in a ventilated room. To avoid permanent damage to the batteries, do not run them down completely. Remember that when the battery voltage displayed drops to about 29V, the batteries must be charged.
When cleaning the machine, respect the following: • avoid the use of high pressure washers. Water could penetrate the electrical compartment or motors leading to damage or the risk of short circuit; • do not use steam to avoid the heat warping plastic parts; •...
in contact with the floor rounded and cracked, reducing the drying efficiency and requiring it to be replaced. CT 160 Turning or replacing the rear blade: • remove the squeegee from its mount by unscrewing the two knobs (fig. N, ref. 1); •...
If a fuse continues to blow, the fault in the wiring, boards (if present) or motors must be identified and repaired. Have the machine checked by qualified personnel. 9.3. Routine maintenance 9.3.1. Daily operations After each day's work, proceed as follows: •...
CONFIGURING THE SCRUBBER DRIER To change the default settings, proceed as follows. With the machine on but no function active, press the settings button (fig. B, ref. 4) for at least 5 seconds. You can now vary the parameters below in the following order: 1.

Motor drive alarm board If the machine drive stops, control the status LED (fig. B, ref. 13) to identify the error code. In the absence of malfunctions, the status LED is lit steadily while the machine is in operation. If a malfunction is detected, the status LED provides two types of information, a slow flash (2 Hz) or a rapid flash (4 Hz) to indicate the severity of the malfunction.
