USING THE MACHINE

TURNING ON THE MACHINE
Fit in the ignition key and turn it clockwise. Three zeros will come up on the display for about three seconds, followed by
the voltage rating of the battery.
The operator's seat features a safety device that disables traction (forward and reverse) when the operator gets up from
his seat.
NOTE: temporary activation of the indicator lights on the console and of the horn is to be considered normal.
IMPORTANT: "DP" version equipped with a DIESEL engine. During operation with an electrical traction motor,
the "S" warning light (OIL ALARM) stays lit. This condition can be considered normal.
Let at least three seconds pass after you have turned off the machine, before turning it on again.
Check the state of the batteries on the appropriate display.
The display has two functions: Voltmeter and Hour meter.
The voltmeter features an undervoltage checking function which automatically disables all services, traction excluded, if
the battery charge level drops below 20.3V .
In this case, recharge the battery (see the "MAINTENANCE" section and the battery handbook).
If the battery charge level is suitably high, you can start your work.
If the machine features a petrol engine, first start the engine.
STARTING/STOPPING THE PETROL/DIESEL ENGINE
To start the endothermic engine, push toggle switch "N" towards its START position
(see switchboard); the toggle switch will flick automatically back to its initial position.
N.B.: if the engine does not start immediately, the maximum activation time of the
starter motor must not exceed 5 seconds for a petrol engine and 15 seconds for a
diesel engine. These activation intervals can be repeated after a short resting time
(approximately 8 – 10 sec.).
To stop the motor, flick toggle switch N to OFF.
IMPORTANT:
the "S" warning light (OIL ALARM) comes on when the ignition is activated.
Once the engine is running, the light should go off. If it does not go off or it
comes on when the machine is running, stop and turn off the engine. Check the
oil level.
Every time the machine is running with the endothermic engine, make sure the cooling fan is running too. If the
alternator overheats, a safety system cuts in to stop the machine.
The number of working hours of the machine can be read on the display under the battery voltage value.
To run the machine, turn on ignition key " O " and select the forward or reverse gear by means of
the lever on the instrument board, which is marked " P ". Now press the accelerator pedal to start
the machine. There is an automatic system for turning the machine on and off on the basis of
pre-established work sequences. This function is called "AUTO-POWER-ON/AUTO-POWER-
OFF".
By selecting one of the three work programs, namely P1, P2 or P3, you will activate the following
functions: centre brush, aspirator, side brushes. The LEDs of the selected brush and suction
program will come on.
After a few seconds, the functions are locked and the three LEDs start flashing: the sweeper is in
AUTO-POWER-OFF mode.
All functions are automatically reactivated when you press the accelerator pedal: AUTO-
POWER-ON.
The machine features an emergency stop button.
By pressing this button (the red warning light comes on), all machine functions, as well as the
endothermic engine, will come to a complete and immediate stop. To restart the machine, press
the red button and set the machine back into operation.
NOTE: by releasing the accelerator or putting lever P in neutral position, you will disable all
functions, with the exception of the engine, within approximately 6 seconds (AUTO POWER OFF).
In this condition, all indicator lights of the selected program and of the suction motor will start flashing.
To reactivate the functions, run the machine forward by pressing the accelerator, without disabling the selected program
(AUTO-POWER-ON).
You can select a new program only after disabling the previous one.
