by releasing the fasteners (5) with the supplied key, and
refuel the machine through the filler neck (28, Fig. F).
CAUTION!
Do not fill the fuel tank to the top, but leave at
least 1.57 in (4 cm) from the filler neck to allow
the fuel to expand.
2. Check the dust control system water level through the
warning light (23, Fig. D). If necessary, supply water
according to the following procedure:
– Disengage the fasteners (5 or 17, Fig. G) with the
supplied key, then open the left or right panel door (4
or 16).
– Pour the water in the tanks (17 and 21, Fig. F),
through the filler neck (18 or 22): pour the water
through one of the filler necks only, because the

DIESEL ENGINE START AND STOP

Diesel engine start
1. Sit on the driver's seat (17, Fig. E) and check that the
parking brake (7) is engaged.
2. With the lever (22, Fig. E), adjust the seat for a
comfortable position.
3. With the lever (6, Fig. E), adjust the steering wheel for a
comfortable position.
4. Adjust the rearview mirrors to easily see rear wheels.
5. Turn the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) to idle.
6. Check that the brooms are lifted, otherwise keep into
consideration that, when starting the engine, broom
immediate rotation can cause damages.
7. Sit on the driver's seat (17, Fig. E), insert the ignition key
(17, Fig. D), turn it clockwise and hold it in the first
position. The following warning lights and indicators turn
on:
– Diesel engine glow plug pre-heating warning light
(10, Fig. D)
– Charged battery indicator light (8, Fig. D)
– Engine oil pressure warning light (15, Fig. D)
– Parking brake warning light (9, Fig. D)
The buzzer will also turn on.
8. When the glow plug pre-heating warning light (10, Fig.
D) turns off, turn the ignition key clockwise, to the end of
stroke, and then release it when the diesel engine starts.
CAUTION!
When starting the diesel engine, do not keep
the ignition key in cranking position too long
(maximum 20 seconds) to avoid damaging the
starter. If the engine does not start, wait a
minute before trying again.
Before trying to start the engine again, turn the
ignition key counterclockwise, to the initial
position.
If the diesel engine does not start after two
attempts, do not persist, ask for help from the
person responsible for the machine.
CAUTION!
When starting the engine with the ignition
switch (17, Fig. D) do not press the drive pedal
(4, Fig. E), because the machine is equipped
with a safety system that do not allow for
engine start-up in this condition.
9. Make sure that all the warning lights are off when the
engine is running.
10. With the throttle lever (16, Fig. E) in an intermediate
position, let the engine run for a few minutes to allow it
to warm up, especially when the air temperature is low.
