PARKING BRAKE
1.
Engage the parking brake by pressing on the front of the pedal (A, Figure
11) and engaging the lever (B, Figure 11).
2.
Disengage the parking brake by pressing on the back of the pedal (C,
Figure 11) and releasing it.
WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance, repair, cleaning or
replacement procedure, engage the parking brake.
Don’t park the machine on a ramp.
MACHINE OPERATION
WARNING!
When using the machine on slopes, follow the maximum gradient values marked on the machine (see
“Technical Data” chapter).
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when operating the machine at high speed: sudden steering could cause this three-wheel
machine to become unstable due to weight distribution. Always reduce the speed before steering.
1.
Drive the machine to the work area as shown in the previous paragraph.
2.
Drive the machine straight forward at high speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping a large amount of dust or debris or
when safe operation requires slower speed. To achieve optimal results, overlapping sweeping paths by over 10 cm (4 inches) is
recommended.
3.
Avoid stopping the machine in the same position for a long time with the brooms rotating: this could create unwanted marks on
the floor.
4.
To collect light and bulky waste materials, lift the front blade by pressing the flap pedal (H, Figure 10); take into consideration
that the machine vacuum capability is reduced when the front blade is lifted.
CAUTION!
When operating on wet floors, it is essential to turn off the vacuum system by pressing the vacuum button (A,
Figure 12) to prevent the dust filter from being damaged.
5.
For machine proper operation, the dust filter must be as clean as possible. To
clean it while sweeping, turn on the filter shaker by pressing the filter shaker
button (B, Figure 12).
During this operation the vacuum motor is automatically shut off.
After cleaning the filter, the vacuum system resumes working automatically;
then start sweeping again.
While working, “filter auto cleaning” mode can be activated by pressing filter
shaker button (B, Figure 12) for 1 second, which can repeat the filter cleaning
procedure every 10 minutes on average (depending on the dustiness of the
area to be cleaned, interval can be set from 1 to 60 minutes, parameter setting
refer to the Service Manual).
NOTE
This procedure can also be performed when the machine is
moving.
CAUTION!
When the dust filter is clogged and/or the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
6.
The hopper (D, Figure 13) should be emptied after each working cycle and whenever it is full (see the procedure in the following
paragraph).
