Starting And Stopping The Machine - Nilfisk SW5500 Instructions D'utilisation

4. Check correct operation of the horn with push-button (65), the reverse warning buzzer with push-button (64), and the working
light push-button (67, optional).
5. Check the parking brake (7 and 6). The brake must hold its (locked parked) setting firmly without easily being released (report
all defects immediately to Nilfisk Service Center).
6. Check the service brake pedal (6) for proper operation.
WARNING!
If the pedal is "spongy" or fades under pressure without an efficient braking force, do not drive the machine
(report all defects immediately to Nilfisk Service Center).
7. Make sure that there are no open doors/hoods and that the machine is in normal operating conditions.
Cleaning planning
1. Arrange long runs with a minimum of stopping or starting.
2. Allow a small amount of broom path overlap to ensure complete coverage.
3. Avoid making sharp turns, bumping or scraping the side of the machine.
Filling the DustGuard™ system water tank (optional)
1. Remove the plug (25) to reach the filler neck.
2. Fill the tank (23) with clean water. Do not fill the tank completely, leave a few centimetres from the edge.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE

Starting the machine
1. Sit on the driver's seat (3) and adjust it with the lever (4) to allow easy reach of all controls.
NOTE
The driver's seat (3) is equipped with a safety sensor, which allows the machine to be driven only when the operator is
on the driver's seat.
2. Insert the ignition key (51) and turn it clockwise to "I".
3. Wait (a few seconds) for the display (71) to turn on; this shows the machine working hours (71-A), the type of batteries set (71-
B) and the current maximum machine speed setting (71-C).
CAUTION!
When starting do not press the accelerator pedal (5).
4. Disengage the parking brake.
5. Drive the machine to the working area, manoeuvring it by turning the steering wheel with your hands (1) and pressing the
accelerator pedal (5).
The speed can be adjusted by applying more or less pressure to the accelerator pedal (5).
The maximum running speed can be set with push-buttons (58) and (59).
6. The forward/reverse direction is selected with the relevant push-button (64) on the dashboard. Activation of reverse gear is
indicated by the buzzer and on the display (71-H).
WARNING!
When steering, avoid abrupt direction changes, pay careful attention and drive the machine at slow speed,
especially when the hopper is full or when operating on inclines.
Drive the machine slowly on inclines. Use the brake pedal (6) to control machine speed while descending
inclines.
Do not turn the machine on an incline; drive straight up or down.
NOTE
The machine has an anti-skid safety system, which where necessary reduces speed when steering and when the
machine is driving on a camber, regardless of the pressure applied to the pedal.
This reduction in speed is therefore not a malfunction but a characteristic which increases the stability and safety of the
machine in all conditions.
Stopping the machine
1. To stop the machine, release the accelerator pedal (5).
2. To stop the machine quickly, also press the service brake pedal (6).
3. In case of emergency, press the emergency push-button (69) to immediately stop the machine.
To deactivate the emergency push-button (69), turn it clockwise.
WARNING!
The emergency push-button (69) also deactivates the machine's automatic deceleration system; if operated
while moving, use the service brake (6) to stop the machine.
4. Turn the ignition key (51) to "0" and remove it.
