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 waste materials, lift the front
skirt by activating the pedal (25, Fig. B); consider that
the vacuum capability of the machine is reduced
when the front skirt is lifted.
WARNING!
When operating on wet grounds, it is
essential to deactivate the vacuum system
by operating the lever (17, Fig. B) to prevent
the dust filter from being damaged.

be as clean as possible. To clean it while sweeping,
proceed as follows:
– Lift the main broom by operating the lever (24, Fig.
B) to deactivate the vacuum system;
– Press the filter shaker push-button (14, Fig. B) at
short intervals;
– Then, lower the main broom to activate the
vacuum system again, and resume operation.
Repeat the operation at least every ten minutes
while working (according to the area dusty
conditions).
NOTE
This operation can be performed also when
the machine is moving.
NOTE
When the dust filter is obstructed and/or
the hopper is full, the machine cannot
collect dust and debris anymore.
4. The hopper (4, Fig. C) should be dumped after each
working period and whenever it is full.
