warnings and danger notices).
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for in-
juries to persons or damage to property due to non-
compliance with the aforementioned instructions.
• This machine must be powered only with the safe-
ty extra-low voltage indicated on the technical data
plate.
• Before using the machine, make sure that each part
is in the correct position.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, senso-
ry or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• Do not operate this machine for any other purpose
except for the use for which it was specifically designed.
Evaluate the type of building where it will be utilised and
rigorously comply with the current safety regulations and
conditions.
• Do not use the machine in places without adequate
lighting, in explosive environments, when harmful dirt is
present (dust, gas, etc.), on roads or public passage ways
and in outdoor environments in general.
• The machine operating temperature range is +4°C to
+ 35°C; when not being used, store the machine in a dry
and non-corrosive environment within a temperature
range of between + 10°C and + 50°C.
When using the machine under any condition the humid-
ity must range between 30% and 95%.
• Never use or vacuum liquids, gases, dry dust, acids
and solvents (e.g. paint thinners, acetone, etc.), even
if diluted, inflammables or explosives (e.g. petrol,
fuel oil, etc.); never vacuum flaming or incandescent
objects.
• Do not use the machine on slopes or ramps steeper
than 2%; for small slopes, do not use the machine side-
ways, always handle it with caution and never move
backwards. When transporting the machine on steeper
ramps or slope 10%, be very careful to avoid tipping and/
or uncontrolled accelerations. Use only the lowest speed!
The machine can be handled on ramps and/or steps only
with the brush head and squeegee lifted off the ground.
• Never park the machine on a slope.
☞ The machine should never be left unattended with
the motors running; it can be left unattended only after
turning off the motors, ensuring that it won't make any
accidental movements and disconnecting it from the
electric power supply.
• Make sure there are no other persons, and children in
particular, in the area where the machine is being used.
• Do not use the machine to transport persons/things or
to tow objects. Do not tow the machine.
☞ Do not use the machine as a support surface for any
weight for any reason.
Do not block the ventilation and heat dispersion open-
ings.
• Do not remove, modify or by-pass the safety devices.
• Always use individual safety devices to ensure opera-
tor safety: aprons or safety overalls, non-slip and water-
proof shoes, rubber gloves, goggles and earphones, and
masks to protect the respiratory tract. Before starting to
work, remove necklaces, watches, ties and other objects
that may cause serious injuries.
• Do not insert hands between moving parts.
☞ Do not use detergents that differ from those required
and follow the instructions indicated on the relative
safety sheets. Detergents should be stored in a place that
is inaccessible to children. In case of contact with the
eyes, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water
and, if swallowed, immediately consult a physician.
Make sure that the battery charger power sockets are
connected to an efficient earthing system and that they
are protected by magnetothermal and differential circuit-
breakers.
• If you are going to equip the machine with dry (gel)
batteries, be sure the battery power indicator on the con-
trol panel, has been set properly. Check this procedure
with your dealer.
• Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions and
comply with legal provisions. The batteries should al-
ways be clean and dry to avoid surface leakage currents.
Protect the batteries against impurities, such as metallic
dust.
• Do not place tools on top of the batteries: they may
cause a short-circuit or an explosion.
• When using battery acid, rigorously respect the rela-
tive safety instructions. In the presence of particularly
strong magnetic fields, evaluate the possible effect on
electronic control devices.
Never spray water on the machine to clean it.
☞ Recovered fluids contain detergents, disinfectants,
water, as well as organic and inorganic material collected
during work operations: dispose of them in accordance
with current legal provisions.
• If the machine malfunctions and/or operates ineffi-
ciently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting it from the
electric power supply or from the batteries) and do not
tamper with it.
Contact one of the manufacturer's technical service cen-
tres.
• All maintenance or accessory replacement operations
must be carried out in environments with adequate light-
ing and only after having disconnected the machine from
the electric power supply by detaching the battery con-
nector.
☞ All work on the electrical system and all maintenance
and repair operations (especially those not explicitly
described in this manual) should be carried out only by
authorised service centres or by specialised technical per-
sonnel who are experts in the sector and in the pertinent
safety regulations.
☞ The machine owner can only use original accessories
and spare parts supplied exclusively by the manufacturer
since such parts are the only ones that guarantee that the
equipment will operate safely without any problems. Do
not use parts disassembled from other machines or other
