Operations Manual
Gladiator 1280
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
General description
The machine described in this manual is a motorised sweeper designed to sweep floors in civil and industrial premises. It may
be used to clean the residues of industrial processes, dust and dirt in general on all relatively even, flat and hard surfaces such as
concrete, asphault, porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles, sheet metal, marble, embossed or smooth rubber or plastic mats indoors or
outdoors.
Legend
The main parts of the machine are as follows:
•
Debris bin (1, fig. 1). This collects the debris picked up by the main brush and dust from the filter.
•
Control panel (2, fig. 1).
•
Main brush (3, fig. 2). This is the most important part of the machine, and transfers dust and debris to the bin. Brushes are
available in different hardnesses and with different bristles to suit the type of material to be picked up
•
Side brushes (4, fig. 1). These convey dust and debris towards the main brush. They only clean edges, corners and profiles.
•
Suction filter (5, fig. 1). This filters the air drawn in by the suction fan.
•
Suction fan (6, fig.1). This enabled the machine to sweep without raising dust.
•
Flaps (7, fig. 1). These surround the main brush and maintain the suction created by the fan.
Hazard areas
•
Control panel: risk of injury from short circuits.
•
Main brush: risk of injury by rotating brush.
•
Side brushes: risk of injury by rotating brushes.
•
Front/rear wheels: risk of crushing between the wheels and chassis.
•
Motor/engine/battery compartment: risk of injury from short circuits between battery poles; risk of serious burns if
maintenance is performed with the engine off but still hot (Petrol and Dual Power versions).
•
Debris bin: risk of brushing during lifting/lowering and rotation.
Accessories
•
Soft, hard and abrasive brushes.
