Setting the machine to working mode
CAUTION!
Before setting the machine to working mode, check that alarms or expired maintenance intervals are not shown
on the display (17, Fig. D) (see Display Functions paragraph).
Set the machine to working mode according to the following procedure:
17.
Bring the 3rd broom safety pin from the position (1, Fig. M) (engaged) to the position (2) (disengaged), by pulling and turning
the relevant lever.
18.
Start the engine as shown in the relevant paragraph.
19.
Check that the hopper (6, Fig. G) is lowered and that the warning light (3, Fig. D) is off.
20.
Turn on the side brooms and the suction fan by turning the switch (29, Fig. D) to the fi rst position, and the 3rd broom by turning
the switch (29) to the second position.
NOTE
If the water pump switch (27, Fig. D) is pressed, the water supply to the nozzles starts automatically.
21.
Shift the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) from closed position to opened position by pushing the joystick (46, Fig. D) to the right.
The shifting operation will stop automatically when the end of stroke is reached.
WARNING!
It is possible to shift to the left or to the right the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) safely, only when the arm extension
(22) is to the left or right end of stroke.
In this situation the arm shifting angle is limited by proper safety devices.
In other situations, the shifting angle is limited to avoid damaging the machine or affect its stability.
It is therefore advisable to bring always the 3rd broom arm extension (22, Fig. G) to the left or right end of
stroke.
22.
Prepare the machine for cleaning to the right or to the left according to the following procedure.
For cleaning to the right:
•
With the spring-return switch (34, Fig. D), check that the 3rd broom arm extension (22, Fig. G) is to the right end of stroke.
Otherwise bring it to the above-mentioned position by pressing and holding the switch (34, Fig. D).
•
Select the counter-clockwise rotation of the 3rd broom with the selector (25, Fig. D).
•
Adjust the 3rd broom tilting angle in order to push the debris towards the suction inlet. To obtain the correct tilting, use the
switch (22, Fig. D) and set the broom (1, Fig. AQ) as shown in the fi gure (the fi gure shows the 3rd broom as viewed from
the driver's seat).
For cleaning to the left:
•
Press and hold the spring-return switch (34, Fig. D) to shift the 3rd broom arm extension (22, Fig. G) to the left end of
stroke. The shifting operation will stop automatically when the end of stroke is reached.
•
Select the clockwise rotation of the 3rd broom with the selector (25, Fig. D).
•
Adjust the 3rd broom tilting angle in order to push the debris towards the suction inlet. To obtain the correct tilting, use the
switch (22, Fig. D) and set the broom (2, Fig. AQ) as shown in the fi gure (the fi gure shows the 3rd broom as viewed from
the driver's seat).
23.
Gradually bring forward the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) and set the engine speed on the display (17, Fig. D) to the
following value:
•
minimum 1,800 rpm
•
maximum 2,000 rpm
CAUTION!
If 2,050 rpm are exceeded when working, a safety system stops the accessory system and the rpm number (1,
Fig. H) fl ashes to warn about the fault. If the engine speed lowers to 1,900 rpm, the accessories are automatically
enabled.
