IMPORTANT: Do not use or leave parked with temperatures above +45° C (+113° F)
CHAPTER 5 – PERMITTED AND FORBIDDEN USES
PERMITTED USES:
The sweeping machines are designed for cleaning ground surfaces under the following conditions: types of
material to be swept up from ground: machining residues, dust, grit, dirt in general; types and features of
working surfaces (ground): hard, fl at and compact surfaces such as: asphalt, concrete, wood surfaces, metallic
surfaces, ceramics, marble, smooth or rusticated plastic materials fi bre or synthetic (to avoid electrostatic
charges on these surfaces, natural fi bre brushes are essential.) cut moquette; type of environment: closed
environments (electric versions), open environments (endothermic versions).
FORBIDDEN USES:
The sweeping machines must not be used under the following conditions:
•
The machine must not be used on surfaces with a gradient of more than 2 %.
•
The machine must not be used in the presence of explosive or infl ammable materials (in these
circumstances machines bearing FLP certifi cates must be used).
•
The endothermic version of the machine (with an internal combustion engine) must not be used in
enclosed environments since the exhaust fumes from the motor contain carbon monoxide, a
lethal odourless gas.
•
The machine must not be used on surfaces which are particularly loose, broken up or gravely .
•
For gathering up oils, toxic dust or materials and chemical in general (specifi c authorisation must
be requested from the manufacturer or supplier if the machine is to used in chemical plants or in
environments where toxic waste is to be removed from the fl oors).
•
The machine must not be used on public highways as it is not equipped for highway homologation .
•
The machine must not be used in badly lit environments unless fi tted with their own lighting unit.
•
The machine must not be towed or used for towing anything .
•
The machine must not be used for clearing snow, for washing any type of surface or for use on particularly
wet or damp surfaces .
•
The machine must not be used for collecting fi liform materials (for example, waste threads from textile
production, or long chips from mechanical machining) since material in this form would be incompatible
with the mechanical rotary action of the central brush .
•
The machine must not be used as a raised surface or resting surface for persons or objects .
•
Sweeping up lighted cigarette butts or any other object which could cause the combustion of the deposits
in the container or fi lter cartridges.
•
The machine must not be used without the protective casing with which it is fi tted.
