FILTERING SYSTEM:
During operation, the filtering system works so that the machine does not lift dust into the surrounding environment, and is
obtained by a bag filter Detail 2 Fig. 5/A (standard version) or by 8 cartridge filters (Optional) Detail 3 Fig. 5/A.
DUST GASKETS:
See Detail 3 Fig. The gaskets surround the central broom and are essential to correct machine operation, as they make the
suction effect possible; it is therefore very important to check them very frequently.
DEBRIS HOPPER:
The sheet metal container or debris hopper Detail 1 Fig. 6 is made to contain all of the material collected by the central broom
and the dust from the filters: there are 3 plastic trays in it that make it easy to empty out.
IMPORTANT: The container emptying operation must always be carried out with the motor off, using gloves and
possibly a mask to protect the respiratory tract from dust (which there always is during this operation).
FLAP-LIFT PEDAL:

possible to collect leaves, cigarette packs, etc..
BRAKE PEDAL:
Press this pedal Part. 1 Fig. 7 to make the machine slow down and stop (until it is released).
PARKING BRAKE:
If you wish to leave the machine with the Park brake on (Parking), it is necessary to do the following: using your LT foot press
the brake pedal all the way down and then slightly lift your foot to lock the brake. To release the parking brake, simply press the
pedal again Detail 1 Fig.
FORWARD AND REVERSE DRIVE:
Detail 3 Fig. 7. This pedal has two functions based on the position of the drive selector Detail 7 on the control panel: with the
selector is in the forward drive position, press the pedal to make the machine move forwards, vice versa, with the selector lever
in the back position, press the pedal to make the machine move in reverse. For safety reasons, the speed of the machine in
reverse drive is much slower. By leaving the selector in the central position, the machine will not go into forward or reverse
drive.
LEVER TO ENGAGE SIDE BROOM:

remember that the side broom must only be used to clean edges, profiles and corners. To lower and then engage the side
broom, push the lever all the way down Detail 1 Fig. 9; to disengage it, place the lever back in its initial position.
