4) TIPS
a. for best results, when sweeping, overlap the previously cleaned strip by about 3-5 cm for
optimum coverage without streaks.
b. The machine has been designed to sweep right up to the wall. If knocked, the side brush arm
retracts inwards and returns to its original position as soon as the pressure is removed.
c. in the case of damp and/or moist dirt, turn suction off at once to avoid damaging the filter.
d. To avoid unpleasant smells, the bin should be emptied and cleaned after each work session (see
procedure in point 3.i).
e. After use, park and turn off the machine.
Activate the parking brake (see procedure 3.1) and extract the key from the key switch by turning
it anticlockwise and pulling it out, thus preventing the machine being used by unauthorised
persons.
f. Before charging the batteries, turn off the key switch, lift the main cowling and rest it on the right,
unscrew the caps of all the cells and leave the fill holes open as all batteries produce dangerous
explosive gases during charging (except gel batteries). It is vital that the charging area is well
ventilated.
