FILTERING SYSTEM:
Thanks to the sweeper's filtering effect no dust is seen in the environment when it is working. This is achieved by means of filters Detail 3 Fig.
5; the filter system can be disengaged by pulling the knob Detail 4 Fig. 6 upwards.
IMPORTANT: Disengage the filter when going over damp surfaces (if the machine is running) otherwise the paper filters will get
damp causing them to deteriorate quickly.
DUST FLAPS:
See Details 4 of Fig. 5. These flaps are all around the main brush and are extremely important to ensure that the sweeper works properly
thanks to their suction effect; check them often to make sure they are always in a good state of repair.
REFUSE CONTAINER:
The refuse collector or container Detail A Fig. 1, is made in strong and resistant plastic and holds all the material collected by the main brush
and dust from the filters.
IMPORTANT: Always empty the container after the motor has been turned off, wearing gloves and even a mask to protect your lungs from
the dust which is always present in this operation.
FORWARDS LEVER:
By pulling the forwards lever, Detail 1 Fig. 6 towards the handle, an internal mechanism is activated which causes the moving of the
sweepers at its own speed (forwards only). Traction will stop when you let go of this lever.
SIDE BRUSH ENGAGEMENT LEVER:
The engagement lever Detail 6 Fig. 6 makes possible to lower the brush from the driving seat. Remember that the side brush must only be
used for cleaning edges, profiles and corners and that it continues to rotate when the machine motor is working.
IMPORTANT: Never touch the side brush with your hands and never pick up threaded materials.
FILTER SHAKING KNOB:
This knob is used to shake (clean) the filter, Detail 3 Fig. 5 : pull it and leave it suddenly 5 or 6 times to mechanically shake the filters; the dust
on the filters will fall inside the container.
IMPORTANT: This operation must be carried out before starting works and before emptying the container with the motor off or with
SUCTION OFF KNOB:
Detail 4 Fig. 6. When this knob is pulled outwards, suction is disengaged. Disengage the suction every time the filters need shaking or when
passing over damp areas (with the motor on).
FLAP-LIFT LEVER:
By pressing the flap-lift lever Part. 9 Fig. 6, the front seal lifts up for picking up a large objects. Suitable for collecting leaves, cigarette
packets, etc.
WORKING POSITION:
When using the machine the operator must be in the working position shown in Fig. 7.
