• two lateral rollers can be fixed on each side of the support frame, the wheels being in the support position at mid height of the thickness of the brush which allows the bristles to retain the effect kneading-scraping, according to a particular embodiment, these rollers are mounted on compensating springs and therefore at adjustable height.
• the stripping or brushing tools are removed and the boom provided with micro jets is laterally provided with extension nozzles.
• the member for adjusting the spreading rate is characterized in that it is formed from a flexible synthetic hose, passing between two support elements, for example two cylinders, whose spacing is adjustable, from control means, arranged on the jib.
• one of the cylinders is fixed and integral with the handle and the other, mounted sliding, by a guided bracket, along of the handle, compressed on the flow tube using a return spring, which acts in traction, to ensure the pinching of the tube.
• the flexible tube is made of a flexible and specially elastic material, resistant to chemical attacks, chlorides, solvents, etc.
• the means for fixing the blade, brush or squeegee of the tool consist of an angled support defining a groove, pierced with holes for example three, between two lips in which either the upper part of the blade or the metal support brush, come and stay.
