Product Maintenance; Storage And Transport - Flo 79734 Manual De Instrucciones

EN
Take regular breaks during work to avoid fatigue and overwork. This will allow better product control and reduce the risk of acci-
dents.
Caution! Always push the verticutter while working; never pull it towards you. Pulling the verticutter causes the operator
to move backwards, which means no control over the area behind the operator's back. In addition, when pulling the verticutter
backwards, the blades can catch the power cord.
Push the verticutter slowly; always walk, never run. This will give you better control of the machine and reduce the response time
to unexpected events.
During operation, move along the rows (XIV). Rows should be kept equal in width, slightly overlapping so as not to leave any
space. Take special care when changing the direction.
Make sure to begin work from the electrical connection side. This will reduce the risk of driving over the power cord.
When working near the fl ower beds, move around them.
Empty the catcher regularly during operation. It is also possible to work without the catcher, but make sure that the cover com-
pletely covers the outlet opening at the back of the housing. Objects caught by the rotating roller may be ejected through the
uncovered or partially covered outlet opening, which may be dangerous for the operator and/or bystanders.
Warning! Never open the outlet opening cover while the machine motor is running and the rollers are rotating.
When work is fi nished, turn off the verticutter, wait for the roller to stop, then disconnect the power cord and wait for the machine
to cool down, then start maintenance works.
Caution! If a foreign object hits the verticutter during operation, immediately turn the product off , wait for the roller to stop, then dis-
connect the power cord, and allow the verticutter to cool down. Then check the verticutter for damage. If the damage is detected,
it is forbidden to continue working before removing the damage. Excessive vibration during operation can be caused by damage
to the machine. In that case, stop working, disconnect the power cord, and check the product.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

Caution! Make sure that the product is disconnected from the power supply before starting any maintenance works. The
power cord must be disconnected from the machine.
Always wear protective gloves during all maintenance works.
If the maintenance procedure is not contained in the instructions manual, it means that it should be performed at an authorised
service centre.
Clean the product after each use. Remove any residual grass and soil with a soft cleaning tool, brush or cloth. Clean the ventilation
openings to ensure that they are clear.
Dirt that is diffi cult to remove can be cleaned with an air jet with a pressure of up to 0.3 MPa.
Never use chemicals, alkaloids, abrasives, or aggressive detergents to clean the product. The product cannot be cleaned with a
water jet or by immersion in water.
Check for wear and damage to the roller blades. If excessive wear or damage is observed, replace the roller with a new one.
Always replace the roller with the original one, identical to the one delivered with the product. Only the use of original spare parts
can maintain product safety.
After each use and cleaning of the metal roller elements, they should be covered with a thin layer of light general purpose lubri-
cating oil. This will reduce corrosion and increase metal elements service life.
The roller should be replaced when a signifi cant deterioration in the performance of the device is observed.
After each operation, the grass catcher must be removed and emptied of the grass. The catcher can be cleaned with lukewarm
water with suds. After cleaning, leave the catcher in the working position until completely dry.
If the internal cable connecting the product power switch to the motor is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service
centre of the manufacturer. The cable cannot be repaired and must be replaced entirely. It is forbidden to operate the product
with a damaged cable.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Caution! Always disconnect the product from the power supply before storing or transporting it. Clean according to the
instructions.
Store in the dark, dry, frost-free, and well-ventilated areas. The place of storage should protect the tool from access by children.
The product should be stored at a temperature between 10°C and 30°C. It is recommended that the product is stored in its original
packaging or another packaging that protects it from dust.
Before transporting the product, set the working depth lever to the transport position. Transport the product by carrying it by the
handles. Protect the product from impacts and strong vibrations during transport. Secure the product against slipping or tipping
over during transport.
