3.1

BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS

☞
Carefully read the "instruction manual"
before starting, using, performing unsched-
uled or routine maintenance or any other
work on the machine.
Rigorously comply with all the instruc-
tions provided in this manual and in those
for the batteries and battery chargers (with
particular attention to warnings and danger
notices).
The manufacturer will not be held respon-
sible for injuries to persons or damage to
property due to non-compliance with the
aforementioned instructions.
☞
Before using the machine, make sure that each
part is in the correct position.
The machine can only be used by personnel
who have received appropriate training, who have
proven their skills and who have been expressly
assigned to use it. To avoid unauthorised use, keep
the machine in a place that denies access to unau-
thorised personnel when not being used, engage
the parking brake and remove the key from the
control panel.
Minors are prohibited from using the machine.
Do not operate this machine for any other pur-
pose 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 ad-
equate 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
humidity 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 10%; for small slopes, do not use the
machine sideways, always handle it with caution
and never move backwards. When transporting
the machine on steeper ramps or slopes, be very
careful to avoid tipping and/or uncontrolled accel-
erations. 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 discon-
necting it from the electric power supply.
Make sure there are no other persons, and chil-
dren 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
openings.
Do not remove, modify or by-pass the safety
devices.
Always use individual safety devices to ensure
operator safety: aprons or safety overalls, non-slip
and waterproof 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 control 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 always be clean and dry to avoid surface
leakage currents. Protect the batteries against im-
purities, 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
relative safety instructions. In the presence of par-
ticularly strong magnetic fields, evaluate the pos-
sible effect on electronic control devices.
Never spray water on the machine to clean it.
☞ Recovered fluids contain detergents, disinfect-
ants, water, as well as organic and inorganic mate-
rial collected during work operations: dispose of
them in accordance with current legal provisions.
If the machine malfunctions and/or operates
inefficiently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting
it from the electric power supply or from the bat-
