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. 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 20.5V ("FLAT BATTERY"
flashes on the display)
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 ENGINE
To start the endothermic engine, push toggle switch I 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 . These activation intervals can be repeated
after a short resting time (approximately 8 – 10 sec.).
To stop the motor, flick toggle switch I to OFF. When the
machine is running with the endothermic engine, make sure
English (Translation of original instructions)
the cooling fan is running too. If the alternator overheats,
the overheating protection device it is fitted with will stop the
machine with the "ENGINE PAUSE" error code.
To switch the machine ON, select either forward or reverse on
the button on the steering wheel. Then press the accelerator
pedal and the machine will start moving.
An automatic system turns the machine functions on and off
automatically.
When one of the three work programmes is selected by
pressing the P1, P2 or P3 button, the following functions
are temporarily activated: centre brush, suction motor, side
brushes; the LED of the chosen programme and the centre
brush LED come on at the same time.
If the accelerator pedal is not pressed, after a few seconds the
functions shut down and the three LEDS start flashing. The
sweeper is now in AUTO-POWER-OFF mode.
All functions are automatically reactivated when the user
presses the accelerator pedal: AUTO-POWER-ON.
NOTE: When the accelerator is released all the machine
functions are automatically switched off, with the exception
of the endothermic engine, which will be switched off after
approximately 6 seconds (AUTO POWER OFF).
After turning on the machine and starting the engine, if
necessary, choose among the three available programmes,
the one best suiting your requirements by pressing one of the
three keys.
