LOCATION OF THE MAIN MACHINE COMPONENTS The machine's main components are the following: 11. Recovery tank. 12. Recovery tank handle. 1. Solution tank cap. 13. Solution tank level hose. 2. Solution tank. 14. Battery compartment closure carter. 3. Detergent solution filter. 15.
The operators and qualified technicians must carefully read the instructions in this manual before carrying out any operations on the machine. If in doubt about the correct interpretation of instructions, contact your nearest FIMAP Customer Service Centre to obtain the necessary clarifications.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The GL Pro and the GXL Pro are floor scrubbing machines that can handle a wide variety of floors and types of dirt using the mechanical action of a brush or an abrasive pad and the chemical action of a water-detergent solution. As they advance, they collect the dirt removed and the detergent solution not absorbed by the floor.

Solution tank filling symbol: Located on the left side of the machine's solution tank to indicate the amount of water or detergent solution in the tank. The symbol on the side indicates that the tank is full. LABELS USED ON THE MACHINE Label indicating the need to read the Use and Maintenance Manual: Applied in the vicinity of the steering column in order to remind the operator to read the user and maintenance manual before using the machine.
PREPARATION OF MACHINE HANDLING THE PACKAGED MACHINE The machine's overall weight including packaging is 65kg for the GL or 00Kg for the GXL. The external dimensions of the package are: • width 58cm; length 88cm and height 76cm for the GL. •...
HOW TO MOVE THE MACHINE To transport the machine safely, proceed as follows: DANGER: before starting any task, make sure the current regulations concerning the safe transport of dangerous substances are scrupulously observed. 1. Check that the solution tank and the recovery tank are empty; if this is not the case, empty them (see paragraphs “DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK”...
The batteries must be charged prior to first use, and whenever they no longer provide sufficient power to perform the desired work. ATTENTION: The control board and the battery charger, if present on-board, are set for AGM batteries, contact the nearest FIMAP service centre to modify the setting if you want to use another type of battery.

ATTENTION: Never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not being used. 1. Bring the machine to the battery recharging area. 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.
INSERTING WATER SYSTEM FILTER Before using the machine for the first time the water system filter needs to be reset, for shipping reasons the filter cartridge and the cap have been removed. To insert the filter cartridge in the water system filter body proceed as follows: 1.
PREPARING TO WORK Before beginning to work, it is necessary to: 1. Move to the rear of the machine, press the uncoupling lever (1) (Fig.1) and open the battery compartment closing carter, using the handle (2) (Fig.2). ATTENTION: the following operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. An incorrect connection of the connector may cause a malfunction of the device.
STARTING WORK The machine can be used in the following work modes: • ECO MODE, see paragraph “ECO MODE” on page 18. • MANUAL MODE, see paragraph “MANUAL MODE” on page 18. The working program “SCRUBBING WITH DRYING" in “ECO MODE” will be taken as an example. To start working in this mode, proceed as follows: 1.
WORKING PROGRAMS H2o 1 SCRUBBING WITH DRYING To perform a scrubbing and drying program, proceed as follows: 1. Carry out all the checks listed in the chapter “PREPARING TO WORK” on page 15. 2. Sit on the driver’s seat. 1. Release the control column from the vertical position, press the stop lever (1) (Fig.1) and turn the control column towards yourself (Fig.2). 2.
N.B.: The first time one of the two symbols shown above in the control display are pressed, the current level of detergent solution will be shown for two seconds (Fig.7). 5. Lower the squeegee, activate the pedal (3) located at the rear right of the machine (Fig.4). 6.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE DETERGENT SOLUTION FLOW To adjust the flow of detergent solution during work, proceed as follows: 1. During the first few working meters check that the amount of solution is sufficient to wet the floor, but not enough to be collected by the squeegee.
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. If active, turn off the suction motor, press the “SUCTION MOTOR ACTIVATION DEACTIVATION” (1) switch on the control panel (Fig.1). 2.
DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK To empty the recovery tank of GL machines, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect the suction motor tube (1) from the sleeve in the recovery tank cover (Fig.1). 2. Disconnect the squeegee tube (2) from the sleeve in the recovery tank cover (Fig.1). 3.
CLEANING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSH (SCRUBBING VERSIONS) Careful cleaning of the brush guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer brush head gearmotor lifespan. To clean the brush, proceed as follows: 1. Move to the rear of the machine, press the uncoupling lever (7) (Fig.7) and open the battery compartment closing carter, using the handle (8) (Fig.8).
CLEANING THE VACUUM TUBE Careful cleaning of the vacuum hose guarantees better cleaning of the floor as well as a longer vacuum motor life. Proceed as follows to clean the vacuum hose: 1. Extract the vacuum tube (5) from the vacuum nozzle on the squeegee body (Fig.5). 2.
Before carrying out any extraordinary maintenance operations, proceed as follows: 1. Take the machine to the maintenance area. WARNING: the place designated for this operation must comply with current regulations concerning safety at work and current environmental protection regulations. 2. Carry out the steps necessary to secure the machine (see chapter “MACHINE SAFETY” on page 11). ATTENTION: It is recommended to wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), suitable for the work to be carried out.
