TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The Innova Comfort is a floor scrubbing machine that can handle a wide variety of floors and types of dirt thanks to the mechanical action of two disc brushes and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution. As it advances, it collects the dirt removed and the detergent solution not absorbed by the floor.

PREPARATION OF MACHINE HANDLING THE PACKAGED MACHINE The machine's overall weight including packaging is 268kg or 591lb. The overall dimensions of the package are: Length = 1600mm or 63in Width = 730mm or 29in Height = 1630mm or 64in ATTENTION: it is recommended that all the packaging components be kept for any future machine transportation. ATTENTION: Move the packaged product with handling equipment that complies with legal requirements regarding size and mass of the packaging.
WARNING: The machine is contained in specific packaging materials, whose elements (plastic bags, staples, etc.) can pose potential hazards, and must not be left within reach of children, disabled persons, etc. CAUTION: It is recommended to wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), suitable for the work to be carried out. 3.
The batteries must be charged prior to first use, and whenever they no longer provide sufficient power. ATTENTION: If the control board and battery charger are fitted, they are set for lead-acid batteries. Contact your nearest COMAC assistance centre to modify the setting if you want to use gel batteries.
ATTENTION: park the machine in an enclosed place, on a flat and level surface; near the machine there must be no objects that could either damage it, or be damaged through contact with it. ATTENTION: the room used to recharge the batteries must be adequately ventilated to prevent the accumulation of gases that leak from batteries.
• Remove the filler hose (14) from its seat (Fig.18), then remove the closure cap (15) and insert the water filler hose. • Remember to remove the cap (12) so the air can be properly vented. N.B.: the filler pipe (14) supports the water filler pipe. C) filling through the optional quick filling kit: •...
ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE BODY For packaging reasons, the squeegee body comes disassembled from the machine. To assemble it on the squeegee body support, proceed as follows: 1. Carry out the steps necessary to secure the machine, see paragraph "MACHINE SAFETY" on page 15. CAUTION: It is recommended to wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), suitable for the work to be carried out.
PREPARING TO WORK Before beginning to work, it is necessary to: 1. Make sure the recovery tank is empty; if not, empty it completely. See paragraph "DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK" on page 31. 2. Check that the quantity of detergent solution in the solution tank is correct for the type of work to be carried out; if not, refill the solution tank - see "FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK WITH WATER"...
STARTING WORK To begin working with a manual machine, proceed as follows: 1. Carry out all the checks listed in the chapter "PREPARING TO WORK" on page 20. 2. Sit on the driver’s seat. 3. Move the main switch to position "I" and make a quarter turn clockwise with the key (1) (Fig.1). 4.
A. Transfer B. Drying C. Scrubbing with drying D. Scrubbing without drying 5. Make sure the detergent solution tap is completely open. If this is not the case, shift the knob (4) on the right-hand side of the steering column downwards (Fig.6).
WORKING PROGRAMS TRANSFER The machine can be moved from one work area to another when the "transfer" working program is enabled. The only main actuator active is that of the traction motorwheel. To activate the "transfer" program on a manual machine, proceed as follows: 1.
SCRUBBING WITH DRYING With the selector in the scrubbing with drying mode it is possible to both scrub and dry the floor at the same time. To activate the "scrubbing with drying" program on a manual machine, proceed as follows: 1.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS HOUR METER The usage time of the manual machine can be checked in the following way: The control panel contains a display, and the second screen that appears after machine start-up shows the total usage time (1) (Fig.1). N.B.: The digits that precede the "."...
N.B.: When the minimum remaining charge is reached, the graphic symbol (6) will start to flash and will turn off after a few seconds, after which the symbol (5) will start to flash. In these conditions, the machine must be taken to the designated battery charging area. N.B.: A few seconds after the battery charge reaches the critical level, the brush motors switch off automatically.
N.B.: The water flow rate level refers to the flow delivered at maximum machine speed, at intermediate speeds, the flow is reduced and is proportional to the value set. 4. The percentage of chemical product in the machine's water system is regulated by means of the button (13) on the control panel (Fig.5). N.B.: The control display shows a graphic symbol (14) indicating the percentage currently being used (Fig.3).
N.B. : Each time the button (20) is pressed, the speed level of the machine's movement is increased, once the maximum level has been reached, the speed will start again from the first level. Pressing the button subsequently changes the movement speed of the machine, there are three selectable levels (50% - 75% - 100%).
AT THE END OF THE WORK At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following operations: 1. For the manual machine versions, raise the squeegee body and rotate the lever (1) in the rear part of the steering column clockwise (Fig.1). 2.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INTERVAL MACHINE COMPONENTS PROCEDURE Clean the vacuum chamber; the squeegee rubber blades; the suction nozzle (see Squeegee "CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE BODY" on page 31). Clean the brushes in the scrubbing brush head body (see "CLEANING THE Scrubbing brush head body brushes BRUSH HEAD BODY BRUSHES"...
Before performing any routine or extraordinary maintenance operation, proceed as follows: 1. Take the machine to the maintenance area. N.B.: the place designated for this operation must comply with current regulations concerning safety at work and current environmental protection regulations. 2.
CLEANING THE BRUSH HEAD BODY BRUSHES Careful cleaning of the brush guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer brush head gearmotor lifespan. To clean the brush on manual machine versions, proceed as follows: 1. Stand on the left side of the machine. 2.
EMPTYING THE SOLUTION TANK Proceed as follows to empty the solution tank: 1. Release the solution tank drainage tube (18), on the left-hand side of the machine, from its retainers (Fig.25). Remove the cap and place it on the ground. 2.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE WORK Before performing any routine or extraordinary maintenance operation, proceed as follows: 1. Take the machine to the maintenance area. N.B.: the place designated for this operation must comply with current regulations concerning safety at work and current environmental protection regulations.

3. Repeat the operations described for the right-hand front brush as well. 4. To replace the brushes, refer to "ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH HEAD BODY BRUSHES" on page 19. To clean the brush on automatic machine versions, proceed as follows: 1. Unhook the tank rotation stop lever (9) (Fig.8) and turn the recovery tank to its maintenance position (Fig.9). 2.
ADJUSTMENT INTERVENTIONS ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY'S RUBBER BLADES The careful adjustment of the squeegee body rubber blades guarantees better cleaning of the floor. To adjust the squeegee body blades, proceed as follows: 1. Sit on the driver’s seat. 2. Insert the key (1) into the main switch on the control panel. Set the main switch to "I" (Fig.1). 3.
CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL) Used on all types of floors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). PPL is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions. ABRASIVE BRUSH The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives.
