The IPC Gansow CT100 is a professional floor cleaning machine designed for efficient and thorough cleaning operations. This quick guide provides essential information for its operation and maintenance, serving as a supplement to the comprehensive Use and Maintenance Manual.

Function Description

The CT100 is a walk-behind scrubber-dryer that performs several key functions to clean floors:

• Detergent Application: It features a detergent tank that can be filled with cleaning solution. The flow of detergent to the brushes is controlled by a tap.
• Brushing/Scrubbing: The machine uses brushes to scrub the floor surface. These brushes can be attached and detached automatically, and their pressure on the work surface is adjustable, indicated by lit LEDs.
• Water Collection/Squeegeeing: A squeegee system is employed to collect dirty water from the floor. The squeegee can be lowered and raised using a lever.
• Dirty Water Recovery: The collected dirty water is stored in a dedicated drum, which can be emptied via a drain hose.
• Mobility: The machine is self-propelled, with a drive lever that allows the operator to move it forwards (pulling upwards) or backwards (pushing downwards). The work speed can be adjusted using a potentiometer.
• Safety Features: An emergency button is present to immediately turn the machine on or off. A parking brake ensures the machine remains stationary when not in use, engaged by pressing a pedal downwards and to the right, and released by pressing downwards and to the left.

Important Technical Specifications (Inferred from manual)

• Power Source: Battery-operated, requiring charging when the battery level is low. The battery charge is displayed on the machine.
• Brush System: Automatic brush attachment/release mechanism. Adjustable brush pressure.
• Squeegee System: Lever-operated lowering/raising. Replaceable blades.
• Tank Capacity: Features separate tanks for clean detergent and dirty water.
• Controls: Potentiometer for speed adjustment, drive lever for movement, emergency button for power, pedal for parking brake, button for brush pressure adjustment, tap for detergent flow.

Usage Features

• Preparation:
  • Fill the detergent tank.
  • Insert brushes under the head, ensuring they rest against aligners, then hold the automatic brush attachment button until they are secured.
  • Release the parking brake by pressing the pedal downwards and to the left.
  • Release the emergency button to turn the machine on.
  • Set the desired work speed using the potentiometer.
  • Lower the squeegee using the lever.
  • Open and adjust the detergent tank tap.
• Operation:
  • Begin working by operating the drive lever: pull upwards for forward motion, push downwards for backward motion.
  • Adjust brush pressure as needed using the dedicated button, observing the LED indicators.
• Post-Cleaning:
  • Raise the squeegee.
  • Raise the machine head.
  • Press the emergency button to turn off the machine.
  • Close the detergent tank tap.

  • Blades can be reused by reversing the edge in contact with the floor until all four edges are worn, or replaced with a new blade, fitting it onto the screws on the squeegee body.
  • Reposition the blade retainers by centering the widest part of the slots over the fixing screws, then pushing the retainers inwards.
  • Fasten the clip.
• Brush Attachment/Release:
  • Attaching: Insert brushes under the head, ensuring they rest against aligners. Hold the automatic brush attachment button down until attached.
  • Releasing: Lift the head using the lift button, then press the release button.
• Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues:
  • Machine does not come on/start up: Check battery charge.
  • Suction motor does not work: Check if the dirty water drum is full, or if the squeegee is lowered in the working position.
  • Machine leaves the floor wet: Check squeegee blades for wear or debris, suction hose for debris or correct attachment, suction filter for damage/cleanliness, and detergent tank lid for correct closure.
  • Machine leaves the floor dirty: Check if the brush/pad type is suitable for the dirt/floor type.
  • Machine leaves stripes of wet floor: Check for debris between squeegee blades, worn squeegee blades, or incorrect squeegee adjustment.
