USING THE MACHINE
TURNING ON THE MACHINE
Fit in the ignition key and turn it clockwise. Three zeros will
come up on the display for about three seconds, followed by the
voltage rating of the battery.
The operator’s seat features a safety device that disables traction
(forward and reverse) when the operator gets up from his seat.
NOTE: temporary activation of the indicator lights on the console
and of the horn is to be considered normal.
IMPORTANT: “DP” version equipped with a DIESEL engine.
During operation with an electrical traction motor, the “S”
warning light (OIL ALARM) stays lit. This condition can be
considered normal.
Let at least three seconds pass after you have turned off the
machine, before turning it on again.
Check the state of the batteries on the appropriate display.
The display has two functions: Voltmeter and Hour meter.
The voltmeter features an undervoltage checking function which
automatically disables all services, traction excluded, if the
battery charge level drops below 20.5V (the code “
F 205”
will
flash
on the display).
In this case, recharge the battery (see the “MAINTENANCE”
section and the battery handbook).
If the battery charge level is suitably high, you can start your
work.
If the machine features a petrol engine, first start the engine.
STARTING/STOPPING THE PETROL/DIESEL ENGINE
To start the endothermic engine, push toggle switch N towards
its START position (see switchboard); the toggle switch will flick
automatically back to its initial position.
N.B.: if the engine does not start immediately, the maximum
activation time of the starter motor must not exceed 5 seconds
for a petrol engine and 15 seconds for a diesel engine. These
activation intervals can be repeated after a short resting time
(approximately 8 – 10 sec.).
To stop the motor, flick toggle switch N to OFF.
IMPORTANT
: the “S” warning light (OIL ALARM) comes on
when the ignition is activated. Once the engine is running, the
light should go off. If it does not go off or it comes on when
the machine is running, stop and turn off the engine. Check
the oil level.
When the machine is running with the endothermic engine,
make sure the cooling fan is running too. If the alternator
overheats, the overheating protection device it is fitted with
will stop the machine with the C101 error code.
To display the number of working hours of the machine (hour
meter function), press the display selection key once and you
will be shown the total number of hours worked. Press the key
another time and you will be shown the partial hours and minutes
worked, which can be reset at any moment by holding down the
key for at least 5 seconds. Press a third time or wait about 10
seconds and the voltage rating of the battery will come up on
the display.
To run the machine: select the forward or reverse gear using the
lever on the instrument board – marked with the letter ‘P’. Then
press the accelerator pedal and the machine will start moving.
The machine is fitted with an automatic starting-stopping
function, which starts and stops the machine on the basis of a
pre-established sequence.
AUTO-POWER-ON
AUTO-POWER-OFF
After pressing the emergency button on the right hand side of
the instrument board, turn the ignition key (marked ‘O’ on the
diagram of the control panel) to position ‘1’.
Select one of the three programmes by pressing P1, P2 or P3.
The following functions are automatically activated: centre brush,
aspirator, side brushes. All LED’s of the selected aspirator and
brush working programme will come on at the same time.
After a few seconds, all functions are stopped and the three
LED’s start flashing: the sweeper is in its AUTO-POWER-OFF
mode.
All functions are automatically reactivated when the user presses
the accelerator pedal: AUTO-POWER-ON.
NOTE
: by releasing the accelerator or putting lever P in its idle
position, all functions will be automatically turned off, except the
engine, within approximately 6 seconds (AUTO POWER OFF).
In this condition, the indicator lights pertaining to the programme
selected and that of the aspirator motor will start flashing.
To reactivate all functions, let the machine run forward by
pressing the accelerator pedal, without deactivating the selected
programme (AUTO-POWER-ON).
You can select a new programme only after you have disabled
the previous one.
USING THE WORK PROGRAMMES
After turning on the machine and starting the engine, if
necessary, choose among the three available programmes, the
one best suiting your requirements by pressing one of the three
keys.
