MACHINE OPERATION

WARNING!
Pay careful attention when operating the machine at high speed: sudden steering could cause this three-
wheel machine to become unstable due to weight distribution.
Always reduce the speed before steering.
1. Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms rotating: this could create unwanted
marks on the fl oor.
2. To collect light and bulky waste materials, lift the front skirt by pressing the pedal (8); take into consideration that the
machine vacuum capability is reduced when the front skirt is lifted.
WARNING!
When operating on wet grounds, it is essential to turn off the vacuum system with the lever (3) to prevent the
dust fi lter from being damaged.
3. For machine proper operation, the dust fi lter must be as clean as possible. To keep the dust fi lter clean while sweeping,
turn off the vacuum system with the lever (3), then press the switch (79) for a while.
During this procedure the main motor and the vacuum fan are automatically stopped.
After cleaning the fi lter, press the switch (79) forward to turn on the main broom and the vacuum system, then start
sweeping again.
While working, repeat the procedure every 10 minutes on average (depending on the dustiness of the area to be cleaned).
NOTE
When the dust fi lter is clogged and/or the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
4. The hopper (20) should be emptied after each working cycle and whenever it is full (see the procedure in the following
paragraph).

HOPPER EMPTYING

1. Stop the machine by releasing the drive pedal.
2. Turn the ignition key (72) to "0".
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Disengage the hook (21) by pulling its lower end.
5. Remove the hopper (20) by using the handle (22), and dump it into special containers.
6. Reinsert the hopper and fasten it with the hook (21).
7. The machine is ready to start working again.

AFTER USING THE MACHINE

After working, before leaving the machine:
– Lift the side brooms with the lever (4).
– Turn on the fi lter shaker with the switch (79).
– Empty the hopper (20) (see the procedure in the previous paragraph).
– Remove the ignition key (72).
– Engage the parking brake.

PUSHING/TOWING THE MACHINE

To easily push/tow the machine when it is off, proceed as follows:
– Open the hood (10).
– Turn the switch (59) to "0" and close the hood (10).
– Push or tow the machine.
– After pushing/towing the machine, turn the switch (59) to "I".

MACHINE LONG INACTIVITY

If the machine is not going to be used for more than 30 days, proceed as follows:
– Check that the machine storage area is dry and clean.
– Disconnect the battery connector (46).
– Slightly lift the machine so that the skirts, the main broom and the wheels do not touch the ground.
– Disconnect the positive terminal (+) directly from the (+) pole of the batteries.
