The side brush is used for removing dirt from edges, skirting, corners, etc. and therefore it should be kept in the raised position when it is not
carrying out this function. If it is left on the ground, it will raise dust and in this case, the cleaning power of the central brush will be
jeopardised.
For the use in small spaces or for moving round close curves, it is advisable not to use the mechanical traction so that the machine is easier to
manoeuvre.

CLEANING THE DUST FILTER:
Check the dust filter Detail 1 Fig. 8 every 40-70 working hours or as necessary. Open the cover Detail 1 Fig.1 to access the filter
compartment.
Cleaning the filter: with the waste container Detail A Fig.1 in place, point the compressed air gun towards the top of the filter so that the
dust falls into the waste container. Make sure the filter is in good condition and replace it if necessary.
DUST SEALS:
Check the condition of the flaps every 40/70 hours. Damage or inefficiency of the flaps jeopardises the performance of the machine in terms
of cleaning quality, Detail 4 Fig. 6.
IMPORTANT: To replace the side flaps, make sure that their lower edge is 2-3 mm from the ground.
SIDE BRUSH:
Detail 1 Fig. 9. Keep raised from the ground when not in use to avoid raising dust unnecessarily. Keep raised from the ground when the
machine is not in use and make sure it does not come into contact with other objects which could bend it making it unserviceable.
CENTRE BRUSH:
To clean the centre brush.
The following implements are necessary for carrying out this operation: heavy duty gloves, breathing mask, pliers, scissors.
Check the condition of the central brush every 50/80 running hours, or more frequently if the machine is used for particularly heavy duties.
To gain visual access to the central brush, remove the waste container (Detail A Fig. 1) and tip the machine as shown in Fig. 9, by pressing
down the handle.
If any ropes, wires or other refuse of this type has been inadvertently collected up, wear the heavy duty gloves and the protective mask to
eliminate any refuse that has been wound in the brush.
CENTRE BRUSH:
To adjust the centre brush
If the machine removes dirt and debris inefficiently or leaves dirt behind, it needs to be adjust. Lower the centre brush and proceed as
follows:
Remove the protective case Detail 2 Fig.4
Loosen the bolt Detail 1 Fig.10 in the slot at the front
Tighten bolt Detail 2 Fig.10 until the three bolts Detail 1, 2 and 3 Fig.10 make contact
If the brush is too flat on the ground, loosen bolt Detail 2 and tighten bolt Detail 1.
N.B.:
ADJUSTMENTS
To ensure the centre brush is correctly adjusted, measure its "Track" as follows:
