BEFORE MACHINE START-UP

1. Make sure that there are no open doors/hoods and that the machine is in normal operating conditions.
2. If the machine has not been used after being transported, check that all the blocks used for the transportation have been
removed.
3. Check that side and main brooms are installed, otherwise install them (see the procedure in Maintenance chapter).
4. Adjust the handlebar (10) as necessary, by using the lever (11).
When the adjustment is completed, close the lever.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE

Starting the machine
1. Insert the ignition key (2) on the control panel and turn it to "I" without pulling the drive control lever (8).
During the first 3 seconds, the battery LEDs (4, 5 and 6) flashing indicates the type of battery installed. Then, if the battery
charge is sufficient, the main motor (44) turn on the main broom (27) and the vacuum fan (48).
If the green LED (4) turns on, the batteries are ready to be used.
If the yellow or red LED (5 or 6) turns on, the batteries must be charged (see the procedure in Maintenance chapter).
WARNING!
The machine cannot be started when the hopper (14) is not its position. A safety system prevents it from
starting.
2. Lower the side brooms (18) and (19, optional), by pulling the levers (12) and (13, optional) backwards.
NOTE
The side brooms turn on when lowered and can be lowered and lifted even when the machine is moving.
3. Start sweeping by grasping the handlebar (10) and pulling the drive control lever (8) gradually.
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. 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, stop the machine and use the
handle (52) to activate the manual filter shaker.
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.
