MACHINE OPERATION

WARNING!
Pay careful attention when operating the machine at high speed: sudden steering could cause this three-wheel
machine to become unstable due to weight distribution.
Always reduce the speed before steering.
1. Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms rotating: this could create unwanted
marks on the fl oor.
2. To collect light and bulky waste materials, lift the front skirt by pressing the pedal (5); take into consideration that the machine
vacuum capability is reduced when the front skirt is lifted.
CAUTION!
When operating on wet fl oors, it is essential to turn off the vacuum system by pressing the switch (79) to
prevent the dust fi lter from being damaged.
3. For machine proper operation, the dust fi lter must be as clean as possible. To clean it while sweeping, turn on the fi lter shaker
by pressing the switch (79) forward for a few seconds.
During this operation the vacuum fan is automatically shut off.
After cleaning the fi lter, press the switch (79) backward to restart the vacuum system; then start sweeping again.
While working, repeat the procedure every 10 minutes on average (depending on the dustiness of the area to be cleaned).
NOTE
When the dust fi lter is clogged and/or the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
