SIDE BRUSHES:
The side brushes, Part. 1 Fig. 4, are acting as a dust and waste conveyor. Their purpose is to clean edges, corners and profiles. After
cleaning, they must be disengaged (raised) to prevent raising dust and because the cleaning effect of the side brushes is inferior to that of
the central brush.
CENTRAL BRUSH:
The central brush Part. 2 Fig. 4 is the main machine component for loading the dust and waste into the collection bin. It is available in
various degrees of hardness and bristle types, depending on the type of material to be collected up and on the type of floor. It is height
adjustable in case of wear (See Chapter 13).
IMPORTANT: do not pick up cords, wires, packaging straps, sticks, etc., longer than 25 cm as these could wrap around the centre and side
FILTER SYSTEM:
During operation, the filter system ensures that the machine does not raise dust in the surrounding areas. It consists of six cartridge filters
Part. 1 Fig. 5. The filter system can be disengaged by pulling knob Part. 1, seen in Fig. 6.
IMPORTANT: Disengage the filter system when passing with the machine over wet or very damp areas to prevent dampening and therefore
DUST SEALS:
See Part. 4 Fig. 6. These seals surround the central brush and are very important for ensuring good machine operation, making possible as
they do the suction effect. Frequently check to make sure they are in good condition.
COLLECTION BIN:
The container or collection bin Part. 1 Fig. 7, made of resistant plastic, holds all the material picked up by the central brush and the filter
dust. It can be easily removed thanks to a wheeled frame Part. 2 Fig. 7.
IMPORTANT: container emptying must always be done with the motor shut off. Wear gloves and possibly a face mask to protect the
FLAP-LIFT PEDAL:
By pressing the flap-lift pedal Part. 1 Fig. 9, the front seal Part. 2 Fig. 9 lifts up for picking up a large objects. Suitable for collecting leaves,
cigarette packets, etc.
BRAKE PEDAL:
By pressing this pedal Part. 1 Fig. 10, the machine slows down and stops (until the pedal is released).
PARKING BRAKE:
To leave the machine in parking position, proceed as follows: press the brake pedal with the left foot and then insert the stop tooth with
the right foot by pressing lever. To release the parking brake, simply press the pedal Part. 4 Fig. 10 again.
FORWARD AND REVERSE PEDAL:
Part. 3 Fig. 10. This pedal has two functions depending on the position of the operation switch Part. 1 of switchboard: when the switch is
in forward position, the machine moves forward when the pedal is pressed. When switch is positioned in reverse, the machine reverses.
For safety reasons, the reverse speed of the machine is very low. When the switch is in central position, the machine moves neither
forward not in reverse.
SIDE BRUSHES ENGAGEMENT LEVER:
The engagement lever Part. 1 Fig. 10 makes it possible to lower the brushes from the driving seat. Remember that the side brushes must
only be used for cleaning edges, profiles and corners and that they continue to rotate when the machine motor is rotating. To lower and
then activate the side brushes, push forward lever Part. 1 fig. 10; to disconnect the side brushes, bring back the lever in the initial
position by pulling it back.
