CHAPTER 12 – CORRECT USE AND ADVICE
IMPORTANT: Before starting the job, make sure that the surface to be swept is free of
objects such as ropes, strips of plastic or metal, rags, stick, live electric cables or other
similar articles. If such object are present, remove them to avoid damage to the machine
or, in the case of live electric cables, risks of electrocution.
•
Crossing over rails, small steps or guides which stick up from the fl oor can damage the fl aps on the
central brush vacuum chamber; this being one of the most frequent causes of damage, if such object
have to be crossed, lift the front part of the machine at the moment of crossing by pressing down on the
handle to gain leverage .
•
Avoid crossing over wet or particular damp surfaces in order to avoid damage to the paper fi lters. In
cases of strict necessity, before crossing stop suction pulling the lever Detail 4 Fig. 6.
•
If the area to be cleaned is very dirty owing to the quantity and quality of the dirt to be eliminated, it is
advisable to pass over the fi rst time to get rid of the majority of the dirt, then pass over a second time
with the refuse container and the suction fi lters clean. If the machine is used methodically and correctly,
it is not necessary to carry out multiple passes .
•
The side brush is used for removing dirt from edges, skirting, corners, etc . and therefore it should be
kept in the raised position when it is not carrying out this function Detail 6 fi g. 6 . If it is left on the
ground, it will raise dust and in this case, the cleaning power of the central brush will be jeopardised .
•
For the use in small spaces or for moving round close curves, it is advisable not to use the mechanical
traction so that the machine is easier to manoeuvre Detail 1 fi g. 6 .
•
To keep the machine effi cient and consequently obtain top performance, the vacuum fi lters must be
shaken and cleaned periodically and the refuse container emptied frequently .
•
For battery powered machines, keep a close check on the condition of the battery and recharge it as
soon as the needle on the volt meter moves onto the red zone .
NEVER LET THE BATTERIES RUN COMPLETELY FLAT AND ALWAYS LET THE BATTERY CHARGER RUN
CHAPTER 13 – ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND COLD
IN THE CASE OF ENDOTHERMIC VERSIONS OF THE MACHINE AND WITH THE BATTERY
DISCONNECTED IN THE ELECTRIC VERSIONS.

CLEANING THE DUST FILTER:

Check the dust fi lter Detail 4 Fig. 8 every 40-70 working hours or as necessary . Open the cover Detail 1 Fig.1
to access the fi lter compartment.
Cleaning the fi lter: with the bin Detail A Fig.1 in place, point the compressed air gun towards the top of the
fi lter so that the dust falls into the bin. Make sure the fi lter is in good condition and replace it if necessary.
•
DUST SEALS:
Check the condition of the fl aps Detail 4 Fig. 9 every 40/70 hours. Damage or ineffi ciency of the fl aps jeopardises
the performance of the machine in terms of cleaning quality
IMPORTANT: To replace the side fl aps, make sure that their lower edge is 2-3 mm from
the ground.
•
SIDE BRUSH:
Detail 1 Fig. 9 . Keep raised from the ground when not in use to avoid raising dust unnecessarily . Keep raised
from the ground when the machine is not in use and make sure it does not come into contact with other objects
which could bend it making it unserviceable .
A FULL CYCLE WHEN RECHARGING THE BATTERIES.
