3) OPERATING THE MACHINE
a. Screw on all the battery caps, making sure the lead plates are completely submerged (not
relevant to gel batteries).
b. Turn off the battery charger. Unplug the battery charger and plug it into the fixed socket on the
machine.
c. Close the cowling and adjust the seat forwards and backwards to the most comfortable operating
position.
IMPORTANT: the seat has a safety microswitch activated when the operator sits down. When not
active, all machine functions are disabled.
d. To start the machine, turn the key switch clockwise. An auto-diagnosis cycle lasting a few
seconds is performed to prepare the machine for operation.
e.
SUCTION:
to turn suction on, press the button on the bottom left of the control panel (the
middle of the three with the fan symbol). Start-up of the fan is controlled by the electronic board
gradually (to avoid excessive peaks of current). When at full speed, the fan will produce a slight
vacuum which conveys the dust raised by the brush to the filtering system with exclusive rotary
filter ensuring that only filtered air is released.
IMPORTANT: in the case of damp and/or moist dirt, turn suction off rapidly. The action of the fan
(intended to avoid lifting dust during cleaning) would be useless and jeopardise operation of the
filter.
f.
CENTRE BRUSH 105/125 B:
to lower the centre brush and start rotation, push the
switch (with cylindrical brush symbol) on the extreme left of the control panel upwards. The
actuator is lowered until the limit microswitch in the actuator is pressed and brush rotation is
enabled. The procedure is reversed when the brush is raised and the actuator presses the
opposite microswitch.
IMPORTANT: when the brush rotates, material is ejected into the bin. To avoid damage to persons
or things at the rear of the machine, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DEBRIS BIN IS CORRECTLY IN
PLACE AND CLOSED.
g.
CENTRE BRUSH 130 B:
to lower the centre brush and start rotation, push the switch
(with cylindrical brush symbol) on the extreme left of the control panel upwards. The actuator is
lowered until the limit microswitch in the actuator is pressed and brush rotation is enabled. The
procedure is reversed when the brush is raised and the actuator presses the opposite
microswitch.
IMPORTANT: brush lowering and rotation is enabled by the bin microswitch. If this is not pressed
(in other words, the bin is not closed), movement is not enabled.
This safety device avoids accidental ejection of debris from the back of the machine. (130 ONLY)
h.
FILTRATION:
the machine is fitted with a patented rotary polyester filter system which
ensures the filter is always clean. Every three minutes, the electronic board rotates the filter
