Finally, the machine behaviour when the recovery tank has reached its maximum level is described. A float
switch is activated which sends a signal to the battery
load indicator. This will disconnect power to the
suction devices. It is no longer possible to use the suction devices until the machine is restarted. However,
until the tank is emptied, the raised float switch will continue to stop power input to the suction motors.
In order to prevent suction disabling every time the float is lifted even slightly (e.g. due to wave-like liquid
motion in a not yet completely filled tank), the switch signal is only accepted by the electronic board when
this is active for at least 5 seconds. This activation delay should be borne in mind when efficient float
behaviour needs to be checked.
3.8 RESIDUAL DANGERS
Ever since the design phase, FIORENTINI has analysed all the possible dangers related to machine use in
order to eliminate or at the very least minimise the risk of injuries for machine operators. In order to minimise
the risk associated with residual dangers, danger signs and indications of accident-prevention systems and
procedures have been provided for machine operators.
DANGER OF CRUSHING
Crushing risks are possible:
during scrubbing brushes replacement;
during battery charging should the battery cover suddenly snap shut
in the central battery housing compartment.
During side brush replacement, the operator must ensure that the ignition key is not in its slot in the
control panel, to prevent unwanted machine starts. During battery charging, the operator must keep
all body parts out of the battery compartment.
DANGER OF
CRUSHING/SHEARING
Crushing and shearing risks are possible:
during squeegee adjustment.
During squeegee adjustment, ensure that no-one close to the machine is able to operate the device
up- and down-stroke controls.
DANGER OF OVERTURNING
Machine overturning is possible:
during normal machine operation when going over slopes with a higher gradient than the
recommended value and when the machine is used to clean uneven/bumpy surfaces (see
3.2).
Do not use the machine to scrub surfaces with gradients exceeding 10% at
speeds exceeding 3 km/h or bumpy or uneven surfaces likely to affect the
stability of the machine.
FIORENTINI declines all responsibility for accidents involving persons or property caused by
machine use on stability-affecting floors. The buyer must provide suitable signage to inform
the user about the condition of the working surfaces.
