Starting And Stopping The Machine - Nilfisk RS 851 Instructions D'origine

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE

The machine can be started and set to:
– Transport mode
– Working mode
The relevant procedures are shown below.
WARNING!
When steering, avoid abrupt direction changes, pay careful attention and drive the machine at slow speed,
especially when the hopper is full or when operating on inclines.
CAUTION!
Before operating the machine, check that the tyre pressure is correct (72.5 psi [5 bar]) and, if necessary, adjust
it.
Setting the machine to transport mode
CAUTION!
Before setting the machine to transport mode, check that alarms or expired maintenance intervals are not
shown on the display (17, Fig. D) (see Display Functions paragraph).
To transport the machine (without sweeping), it is necessary to set the transfer mode according to the following procedure:
1. Check that the parking brake (13, Fig. E) is engaged.
2. Start the engine as shown in the previous paragraph.
3. Check that the hopper (7, Fig. G) is lowered and that the warning light (3, Fig. D) is off.
CAUTION!
If the machine speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) with the hopper lifted, the warning light (3, Fig. D) fl ashes to warn
about the dangerous manoeuvre.
4. Check that the suction fan is off; the lever (8, Fig. E) must be in central position.
5. Lift the suction inlet and side brooms by pressing the push-button (38, Fig. D).
6. Get out of the machine and bring the 3rd broom safety arm from the position (2, Fig. M) (disengaged) to the position (1)
(engaged), by engaging the tooth (3) on the bracket (4).
7. Sit on the driver's seat (14, Fig. E) and disengage the parking brake (13).
NOTE
The machine is equipped with a safety system that does not allow for engine start up when the operator is not on the
driver's seat (14, Fig. E).
8. Gradually bring forward the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) and set the engine speed on the display (17, Fig. D) to 2,600 rpm.
9. Start to transport the machine, by keeping the hands on the steering wheel (28, Fig. D) and gradually pressing the pedal (26),
on the front side to move forward and on the rear side to move backward.
The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal.
WARNING!
The machine is equipped with a safety system that stops the movement (machine in neutral) and disables the
hydraulic functions controlled by the joysticks (15 and 36, Fig. D) when the operator is not on the driver's seat
(14, Fig. E) for more than 3 seconds. The movement and the hydraulic functions restarts automatically when the
operator returns on the driver's seat (14). Only the suction fan for the manual rear pipe, and the high-pressure
pump for the washing system can be used in these conditions.
WARNING!
Remind that the steering is on the rear axle. Use rearview mirrors to see rear end of machine when
manoeuvring.
WARNING!
In case of obstacles (for example a footpath), remind to lift the suction inlet.
