CHAPTER 7 - MACHINE DESCRIPTION
SAFETY GUARDS:
As illustrated in Fig. 4 it is possible to see the safety guards that must be intact and accurately installed. It is not
possible to use the machine with one or more missing or damaged guards.
11) Casing to close the filter compartment
12) Man on board safety micron (under seat)
13) Flashing light
14) Motor hood
15) Net motor protection
16) Bumper wheel
17) Side broom casing
18) Traction motor casing
19) Central broom guard side
20) RT and LT side
SIDE BROOM:
The side broom, Detail 1 Fig. 5, acts as a conveyor for the dust and debris and is used exclusively for cleaning
edges, corners, profiles, and must be disabled (raised) once they have been cleaned to avoid lifting unnecessary
dust and because the side broom cleans less thoroughly than the central broom.
CENTRAL BROOM:
The central broom Detail 2 Fig.
into the debris hopper; it is possible to request different bristle stiffness and type, depending on the type of
material will be collected or the type of floor; the height can be adjusted as the bristle length wears down (see
Chapter 13).
IMPORTANT: do not collect cords, wires, packaging straps, sticks, etc that are longer than 25 cm as
they may get twisted around the central and side brooms and damage them.
FILTERING SYSTEM:
During operation, the filtering system works so that the machine does not lift dust into the surrounding
environment, and is obtained by a bag filter Detail 2 Fig. 5/A (standard version) or by 8 cartridge filters
(Optional) Detail 3 Fig. 5/A.
DUST GASKETS:
See Detail 3 Fig. 5. The gaskets surround the central broom and are essential to correct machine operation, as
they make the suction effect possible; it is therefore very important to check them very frequently.
DEBRIS HOPPER
The sheet metal container or debris hopper Detail 1 Fig. 6 is made to contain all of the material collected by the
central broom and the dust from the filters: there are 3 plastic trays in it that make it easy to empty out.
IMPORTANT: The container emptying operation must always be carried out with the motor off, using
gloves and possibly a mask to protect the respiratory tract from dust (which there always is during
this operation).
FLAP-LIFT PEDAL:
Pressing the flap-lift pedal, Detail 2 Fig. 7, to lift the front gasket Detail 3 Fig. 5, to collect bulky objects.
Accordingly, it is possible to collect leaves, cigarette packs, etc...
BRAKE PEDAL:
5 is the main part of the machine, which allows dust and debris to be loaded
