STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE

The machine can be started and set to:
– Transport mode
– Working mode
The relevant procedures are shown below.
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.
CAUTION!
Before operating the machine, check that the tire pressure is correct (3.75 Bar) and, if necessary, adjust it.
Setting the machine to transport mode
To transport the machine (without sweeping), it is necessary to set the transfer mode according to the following procedure:
1. Start the engine as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. Check that the hopper (12, Fig. G) is lowered and that the warning light (26, Fig. D) is off.
3. Check that the suction fan is off; see the lever (14, Fig. E).
4. Lift the safety fl ange (24, Fig. E), then lift the suction inlet and side brooms with the lever (12).
5. Gradually push the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) forward by pressing the lever on the handle at the same time. Adjust the
speed on the display (11, Fig. D) to 2,800 rpm.
WARNING!
It is advisable to respect the suggested speed, that is to say 2,800 rpm. If the speed exceeds 3,050 rpm, the
problem will be signalled by a continuous warning buzzer and by the fl ashing of the engine speed value on the
display (16, Fig. H).
6. Disengage the parking brake (7, Fig. E).
CAUTION!
When the parking brake is disengaged, the symbol "N" (20, Fig. H) appears. This symbol indicates that there is
some fault in the machine transport confi guration.
This condition is signalled by the rear brake lights fl ashing for 30 seconds.
7. Start to transport the machine, by keeping the hands on the steering wheel (2, Fig. E) and gradually pressing the pedal (4), on
the front side to move forward and on the rear side to move backward.
The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal.
WARNING!
Remind that the steering is on the rear axle. Use rearview mirrors to see rear end of machine when
manoeuvring.
WARNING!
In case of obstacles (for example a footpath), remind to lift the suction inlet.
