SAFETY
BIG 38/48
SAFETY PLUG
The BIG 38/48 machine has a safety plug that connects the power supply batteries to the rest of the
machine. The plug is disconnected by pulling on the handle, which brings all machine functions to an
immediate halt. Operators should therefore familiarise themselves with use of the safety plug, as it provides
the most complete prevention and protection system. Use of the emergency plug should therefore be
automatic in situations of real or presumed emergency.

3.6. RESIDUAL RISKS
Starting from the design phase, FIORENTINI has analysed all the possible hazards related to use of the
machine in order to eliminate or at least minimise any risk of injury to machine operators. Warning signs and
indications regarding the accident-prevention systems and procedures to be used have been provided for
machine operators in order to minimise residual risks.
RISK OF CRUSHING
Risk of crushing is present:
when replacing the front brushes;
when checking the brushes in the suction motor;
when adjusting the squeegee;
When replacing the brushes and adjusting the squeegee, the operator must ensure that the ignition
key is not inserted in the dashboard in order to prevent accidental starting of the machine.
This hazard is indicated by pictograms on the brush guards and recovery tank.
RISK OF OVERTURNING
Risk of overturning is present:
during normal use of the machine when the slope limits specified under improper use of the
machine are exceeded and when the machine is used to clean surfaces that are uneven or have
holes and depressions (see 3.2).
