Approach the emptying area in the lowest gear and at the slowest speed.
IMPORTANT: Empty the bin at the back of the machine after the first half hour of work. The period
recommended for emptying the bin the first time is based on a cautious estimate. Depending on
the type of material and above all on the experience of the operator, emptying times can be
optimised to avoid emptying a half full bin.
IMPORTANT: the machine has been designed and tested to lift 90 kg at full load, not for
imprudent use with the bin full and raised.
IMPORTANT: for safety reasons, the bin can be lifted only when the centre brush is out of gear
and raised.
To raise the bin, press the green button on the left of the seat and at the same time manipulate
the adjacent joystick (with the sticker indicating the movement).
The button guarantees operator safety by keeping the arm outside the working area where there
would be a risk of injury. When the maximum height has been reached, the bin can be tipped
(emptying the debris collected). To empty, use the lever on the left lifting arm. The lever has a
spring return. To ensure efficient emptying, activate the lever then allow it to spring back as
rapidly as possible. After emptying, get off the machine, replace the bin in the working position,
make sure the locking lever has tripped, return to the driving position, turn the machine on and
move a couple of metres away from the emptying area. Then lower the bin and repeat the
procedure in reverse order.
IMPORTANT: during lowering, you should observe the movement of the bin at all times. (to
facilitate this, the safety button and joystick are positioned on the same side).
l.
SPEED/ACCELERATOR PEDAL:
according to the quantity of material to be
collected, terrain etc., the speed of the machine can be set using one of the three buttons on the
top left of the control panel. The speeds differ in the maximum speed possible.
Intermediate speeds can be regulated by means of the accelerator pedal at the bottom right of the
footboard.
Move it towards the right to regulate forward movement and to the left to regulate backwards
movement ( always 50% of the forward speed).
IMPORTANT: the pedal (and therefore the machine) operates only if one of the above speeds has
been selected.
m.
FLAPS
: the machine has flaps at the side, front and back enclosing the debris collection area
around the centre brush and creating a seal with the floor.
When collecting bulky but light debris, the front flap can be raised by means of the cable at the
centre left of the control panel (identified by a cable symbol).
IMPORTANT: after passing over the debris, replace the flap in its original position to create the
vacuum necessary for operation.
n.
BRAKE:
the brake is located on the left of the footboard and acts as both a service brake and
a parking brake.
