ENGLISH
Stopping the machine
1. To stop the machine, release the drive control lever (8) completely.
2. To stop the side brooms (18) and (19, optional), pull the levers (12) and (13, optional) onwards.
3. To turn off the main broom (27) and the vacuum fan (48), turn the ignition key (2) to "0".
4. Then close the fuel tap (A, Fig. 2) in the compartment (6).
5. Make sure that the machine cannot move independently.

MACHINE OPERATION

1. Drive the machine to the work area as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms turning: this could create unwanted
marks on the floor.
3. For machine proper operation, the dust filter (41) must be as clean as possible. For cleaning it while sweeping, turn on the filter
shaker by pressing the switch (3) for a few seconds.
NOTE
Repeat the filter shaking procedure at least every 10 minutes. This interval can change depending on the dustiness of
the area to be cleaned.
NOTE
When the dust filter is clogged and/or the hopper (14) is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
4. When operating on wet floors, open the "wet by-pass" port (43) to avoid damaging the dust filter.
When operating on dry floors, close the "wet by-pass" port (43) to restore proper vacuuming.
5. The hopper (14) should be emptied after each working cycle and whenever it is full.
NOTE
When the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.

HOPPER DUMPING

1. Stop the machine and turn the ignition key (2) to "0".
2. Remove the hopper (14) by using the transport handle (15) and the wheels (16) to drag it at the waste collection centre, then
empty it.
3. Reinstall the hopper on the machine.
4. The machine is ready to start sweeping again.
NOTE
When the hopper is removed, all machine functions are disabled.
