INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

MACHINE OPERATION

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 floor.
2. To collect light and bulky debris, lift the front skirt by
pressing the pedal (8, Fig. C); remember that while
the front skirt is lifted, the machine suction power
decreases.
WARNING!
When operating on wet grounds, it is
essential to deactivate the vacuum system
by operating the lever (3, Fig. C) to prevent
the dust filter from being damaged.
3. For the machine proper operation, the dust filter must
be as clean as possible. To keep the dust filter clean
while sweeping, deactivate the vacuum system by
operating the lever (3, Fig. C), then press the filter
shaker (9, Fig. B) push-button for a short while.
During this operation the main motor and the vacuum
fan automatically shut off.
After cleaning the filter, push the switch (9, Fig. B)
forward by reactivating the main broom and the
vacuum system, then start sweeping again.
While working, repeat the operation every 10 minutes
on average (depending on the dustiness of the area
to be cleaned).
NOTE
When the dust filter is obstructed and/or the
hopper is full, the machine cannot collect
dust and debris.
4. The hopper (20, Fig. C) should be dumped after each
working period and whenever it is full (see the
relevant procedure in the next paragraph).

HOPPER EMPTYING

1. Stop the machine by releasing the forward/reverse
gear pedal.
2. Turn the ignition switch (2, Fig. B) to "0" position.
3. Disengage the hook (21, Fig. C) by pulling its lower
end.
4. Remove the hopper (20) by using the handle (22, Fig.
C) and dump it in special containers.
5. Reinsert the hopper and fix it by using the hook (21).
6. The machine is ready to start working again.
