2. SAFETY INFORMATIONS
2.1. BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS
☞ Carefully read the "instruction manual" before
starting, using, performing unscheduled or routine
maintenance or any other work on the machine.
• Rigorously comply with all the instructions pro-
vided 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 responsible for
injuries to persons or damage to property due to
non-compliance with the aforementioned instruc-
tions.
• This machine must be powered only with the
safety extra-low voltage indicated on the techni-
cal data plate.
☞ Before using the machine, make sure that each
part is in the correct position.
• The appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance
• 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 utilized 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 passageways 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 tem-
perature range of between + 10°C and + 50°C.
When using the machine under any condition the hu-
midity 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 2%.
2. SAFETY INFORMATIONS
For small slopes, do not use the machine sideways,
always handle it with caution and never move back-
wards. When transporting the machine on steeper
ramps (10% max) or slopes, be very careful to avoid
tipping and/or uncontrolled accelerations.
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.
☞ Never leave the machine unattended with the key
in and connected; it may be left only after having dis-
connected it and taken the key out and guaranteeing
against accidental movements and, if necessary, dis-
connecting it from the electrical power supply.
• Make sure there are no other persons, and children 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 op-
erator safety: aprons or safety overalls, non-slip and
waterproof shoes, rubber gloves, goggles and ear-
phones, 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 re-
quired 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 copi-
ous 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 magneto thermal and differen-
tial circuit breakers.
• Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions and
comply with legal provisions. The batteries should al-
ways be clean and dry to avoid surface leakage cur-
rents. Protect the batteries against impurities, 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 possible
effect on electronic control devices.
Never spray water on the machine to clean it.
