WARNING:
• Do not use incompatible battery chargers since they could damage the batteries and
potentially cause a fire.
•
The batteries emit hydrogen gas. This gas can cause explosions or fires. Keep a safe
distance from flames or sparks. Keep the recovery tank open for the duration of the battery
recharging.
• the room used to recharge the batteries must be adequately ventilated to prevent the
accumulation of gases that leak from batteries.
• For versions with a battery charger on-board, before charging make sure that the frequency
and the voltage indicated in the battery charger user manual, (enclosed with the machine
documentation) match the mains voltage.
• Keep the battery charger's cable at a safe distance from any hot surfaces.
• Never smoke in the machine's vicinity while the batteries are charging.
• Carefully read the user manual of the battery charger you want to use before recharging.
USING THE MACHINE
DANGER:
• The machine may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with limited
physical, sensorial or mental capacity, or people without experience or the required
knowledge, as long as they are supervised or have been instructed about safe
machine use and the inherent dangers. Children must not play with the machine. The
cleaning and maintenance that should be carried out by the user should not be done
by unsupervised children.
• In the event of danger, take prompt action by pressing the emergency button near the
operator's seat.
•
Never collect gases, explosive/inflammable liquids or powders, nor acids and solvents!
These include gasoline, paint thinners and fuel oil (which, when mixed with the vacuum air,
can form explosive vapours or mixtures), and also non-diluted acids and solvents, acetones,
aluminium and magnesium powders. These substances may also corrode the materials
used to construct the machine.
• If the machine is used in dangerous areas (e.g. petrol stations), the relative safety standards
must be observed. It is forbidden to use the machine in environments with a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
• Never use the machine with the electro-magnetic brake disengaged.
WARNING:
• The machine must be exclusively used by authorised, trained personnel.
• Do not use the machine on surfaces with a slope greater than the one indicated on the serial
number plate.
•
The machine is not suitable for cleaning rough or uneven floors. Do not use the machine on
slopes.
•
In the event of a fire, use a powder extinguisher. Do not use water.
• Adapt the speed to the adhesion conditions.
• In order to prevent the unauthorised use of the machine, the power supply must be
disconnected: switch the machine off using the main switch (by removing the key from the
block) and disconnect the battery's connector from the electrical system's connector.
