PREPARING TO WORK
1.
Check that the debris hopper is empty, if not empty it completely
2.
Check the parking brake is engaged; if not, engage it
3.
Make sure the main machine switch is in the "0/OFF" position; if not, turn the key a quarter rotation
to the left.
4.
Grip the rear part of the seat casing
5.
Rotate the seat casing until it hooks to its safety clamp (3)
6.
Connect the battery connector (1) to the machine connector (for versions without built-in battery charger)
7.
Sit on the driver’s seat
8.
Disengage the parking brake (2).
9.
Turn the key of the main switch a quarter of a rotation clockwise (to position ON). Immediately, on
the instrument panel, the display will turn on indicating the charge level of the batteries.
10.
With switch-on, three consecutive screens are visualised on the monitor. The first screen shows (on
the top line) what type of hour meter has been set; in this case it's a total hour-counter (to display a
different type, such as partial, contact the qualified, trained personnel at the technical assistance
centre). The bottom line shows the “service” setting (in this case there is no setting).
11.
The second screen displays what battery technology has been set for machine operation; in this
case it is lead batteries (to set another type of battery - for instance gel - contact the qualified,
COMAC-trained personnel).
12.
The third and last screen (known as “work”) displays the battery charge status and the total
functioning time. When the batteries supplied are fully charged, the upper line contains 8 light
indicators that represent a battery. As the batteries gradually run down, the indicators go out and,
with the batteries completely run down, only the battery outline flashes. The bottom line indicates
the hours and minutes of functioning. The flashing “:” symbol indicates that the hour-counter is
counting the machine functioning time.
13.
Activate the vacuum head by pressing the switch (6) on the instrument panel.
WARNING!
Shut off the vacuum function when you are about to clean wet or
damp surfaces, to avoid ruining the filter. Shut off the vacuum function without
activating the filter shaker.
14.
Lower the central brush by turning the left lever (5) anticlockwise.
15.
Lower the right side brush (1SL versions), or both side brushes (2SL versions), by turning the right
lever (4) clockwise.
ATTENTION:
use the side brush or brushes (according to machine version)
only on edges, as it is not assisted by the vacuum action.
