removing parts.
2.2.1 Fitting scarifying brushes
• Tip the machine brush head backwards towards the
handle, and push three scarifying brushes of the
same type onto the four drive pins on each of the
rotating heads (Fig.2).
• Fit retaining clip onto pins, ensuring it is located in
the groove on each pin.
• Return brush head to the floor.
• Remove brushes by simply removing retaining clip
and pulling brush off the drive pins.
• Always keep brushes in sets of three, to ensure
even wear and prevent vibration.
2.2.2 Fitting tools
• These tools (such as star-wheels carbide blocks
and scrapers) must to be bolted onto the machine.
• To bolt tool to machine two drive pins (diagonally
opposite each other) must be removed from each
of the rotating heads.
• Fit three matching tools over each pair of drive
pins
• Secure each tool using two M5 bolts. Always use
spring washers with bolts to minimise chance of
tools working itself loose.
IMPORTANT – regularly check that bolts are tight.
IMPORTANT – Never allow the brush head to rest
on the drive pins, always tip brush head back
when not in use.

• Fit brushes or tools suitable for the surface to be
cleaned / prepared.
• Adjust handle to suit operator
• Tilt the machine slightly backwards so that the
brushes / tools are clear of the floor and wheel the
machie to the area to be cleaned.
• Switch on the machine. Always work away from the
mains socket – this will help to avoid running into

• Scarifying is normallya dry process. Because of the
extremely harsh abrasive action of scarifying
brushes and tools, only resiliant floors such as
concrete, metal tile etc. should be scarified
• Walk slowly behind the machine, overlapping each
pass to ensure an even finish.
• Do not keep the machine rotating on one spot as
this could damage the floor surface.
• Should the machine start to vibrate, or resist the
cleaning action on the floor, check the brushes /
tools for wear.
• Each area of the floor should be covered at half
walking pace. Some floors may require extra
passes to process it thoroughly.
• On reaching the original starting point, position the
machine to process another path parallel to the first
and overlapping by 50mm.
• When the entire floor area has been covered, clear
debris using suitable vacuum cleaner or sweeper.
