5. Pull the drive lever (4, Fig. C) with care until the
machine starts to move.
The speed is proportional to the pressure applied
to the drive lever (4, Fig. C).
Stopping the machine
To stop the machine, release the drive lever (4, Fig. C)
completely and pull back on handle bar.
To stop the brooms from rotating, turn the key (2, Fig.
B) to "0" position.
To lift the side broom (10, Fig. C), lift the knob (12, Fig.
C) (without turning it) and align the latch with the slot in
the plastic chassis. Rotate the knob (12) forward to en-
gage the latch (2).

MACHINE OPERATION

1. Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in
the same position and the brooms still rotating:
this could create unwanted marks on the floor.
2. For proper machine operation, the dust filter must
be as clean as possible. To clean the filter while
sweeping proceeds as follows according to the
type of filter-shaker installed:
a) Manual filter - shaker: turn the ignition key in
the "0" position, then pull the handle (20, Fig.
C) outward until the end of stroke is reached
and then release it: the return spring strikes
the dust filter frame and shakes it.
Repeat this operation several times. Turn the
ignition key in the "I" position.
b) Electric filter-shaker (optional) press and
hold the filter-shaker button (8, Fig. B) for a
few seconds.
Repeat the operation at least every ten minu-
tes while working (according to the dust con-
ditions)
.
NOTE:
During this operation the electric motors
and all machine functions are automati-
cally stopped.
NOTE:
When the hopper is full the machine can
not collect more dust and debris.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the dust filter do not
sweep wet floors or ground.
The hopper (17, Fig. C) should be emptied after each
working period and whenever it is full.

not collect more dust and debris.

EMPTYING THE HOPPER

1. Release the drive lever to stop the machine.
2. Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
3. Disengage the hopper latch (18, Fig. C) by pulling
the bottom outward.
4. Using the hopper handle (19, Fig. C) remove the
hopper (17, Fig. C) from the machine and empty it.
5. Return the hopper to its normal operating position
and engage the hopper latch (18, Fig. C).
6. The machine is ready to start sweeping again.

AFTER MACHINE USE

When finished working:
1. Clean the filter using the manual filter shaker (20,
Fig. C) or the electric filter-shaker, if equipped, by
pressing the filter shaker button (8, Fig. B).
2. Empty the hopper (17, Fig. C) (see previous para-
graph).
3. Lift the side broom by lifting the knob (12, Fig. C).
4. Remove the ignition key (2, Fig. B) from the ma-
chine.
5. Ensure that the machine cannot move indepen-
dently.
6. Activate the optional brake pedal (26, Fig. C).

PUSHING THE MACHINE

The machine can be moved my pushing it both with the
ignition key (2, Fig. B) in the "0" and in the "I" positions.

MACHINE STORAGE
