USER MANUAL

MACHINE OPERATION

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 floor.
2. For the machine to sweep properly the dust filter must
be as clean as possible. To clean the filter while
sweeping, activate the filter-shaker proceeding as
follows and according to the type of filter-shaker
installed:
a) Manual filter-shaker: turn the ignition key to "0"
position, pull the handle outward (20, Fig. C) till
the end of stroke, and then release it. The internal
return spring strikes the dust filter frame and
shakes it. Repeat this operation several times.
Turn the ignition key to "I" position.
b) Electric filter-shaker (optional): press and hold
the filter-shaker button (8, Fig. B) for few seconds.
While working, repeat the operation every 10
minutes on average (depending on the dustiness
of the area to be cleaned).
NOTE
During this operation the main engine and all
functions are automatically stopped.
NOTE
When the dust filter is obstructed the machine
cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the dust filter do not
work on wet grounds.
The hopper (17, Fig. C) should be emptied after each
working period and whenever is full.
NOTE
When the hopper is full the machine cannot
collect dust and debris anymore.
