Stopping the machine

1. To stop the machine, release the pedal (5, Fig. C).
To stop the machine more quickly, also press the
service brake pedal (6, Fig. C).
In case of emergency, press the emergency
push-button (8, Fig. B) to immediately stop the
machine. To deactivate the emergency push-button
(8) after pressing it, rotate it clockwise.
2. To stop the rotation of the side brooms (13 and 14,
Fig. C), lift them by using the lever (4).
3. To stop the rotation of the main broom (15, Fig. C),
the vacuum fan (19, Fig. U) and the petrol engine,
turn the ignition switch (2, Fig. B) to the “0” position.
4. Engage the parking brake by rotating the lever (7, Fig.
C) to 7a position.
5. Raise the hood (10, Fig. C) and close the petrol tap
(1, Fig. V), then close the hood again.
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. To collect light and bulky debris, lift the front skirt by
pressing the pedal (8, Fig. C); remember that while
the front skirt is lifted, the machine suction power
decreases.
3. For the machine proper operation, the dust filter must
be as clean as possible. To keep the dust filter clean
while sweeping, deactivate the vacuum system by
operating the lever (3, Fig. C), then press the
filter-shaker switch (5, Fig. B) for a short while.
After cleaning the filter, activate the vacuum system
by using the lever (3, Fig. C).
While working, repeat the operation every 10 minutes
on average (depending on the dustiness of the area
to be cleaned).
4. The hopper (20, Fig. C) should be dumped after each
working period and whenever it is full (see the
procedure in the next paragraph)..
NOTE
The seat (29, Fig. C) is equipped with a safety
sensor, which allows the machine to be moved
through the pedal (5, Fig. C) only when the
operator is seated in the driver's seat.
NOTE
The side brooms (13 and 14, Fig. C) can be
lowered and lifted even when the machine is
moving.
The side brooms do not rotate when they are
lifted, but they rotate when they are lowered.
CAUTION!
When operating on wet grounds, it is
essential to deactivate the vacuum system
by operating the lever (3, Fig. C) to prevent
the dust filter from being damaged.
NOTE
When the dust filter is obstructed and/or the
hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust
and debris.
CAUTION!
In case the quantity of oil in the carter is
insufficient, the petrol engine has a warning
system to prevent damages to the engine.
Before the carter oil level goes below the
safety limit, the oil warning system
automatically stops the engine.
