CENTRAL BROOM:
Detail 2 Fig. 5. Every 60/90 hours of operation, or as needed, make sure the central broom is in good condition,
especially if you suspect that cords, wires, etc have been accidentally collected.
If it is necessary to remove these materials from the broom, you must:
Remove the hopper Detail 1 Fig. 6.
Get down on all fours and look at the central broom underneath the machine; wearing gloves and a mask
to protect your respiratory tract, remove any cords or wires that are tangled around the central broom. It is also
possible to use the 3 hooks included (eyebolts) to lift the machine (see Fig. 1) and perform this operation being
careful not to station yourself under the machine.
ADJUSTING THE CENTRAL BROOM:
If you notice that the machine no longer cleans perfectly or leaves debris behind, you will need to adjust it by
lowering it as follows:
Place the lever illustrated in Fig. 10
Loosen the register screw Detail 1

Place the lever illustrated in Fig. 10
It is possible to adjust the central broom until the register Detail 1 Fig. 15 reaches the end run; at this
point it is necessary to change the broom.
IMPORTANT: To make sure the central broom is adjusted correctly, it is necessary to
measure its "Track", as follows:
Once the adjustments have been made, start the machine and, without travelling forwards or in
reverse, leave it on the spot for at least 10/15 sec. with the central broom lowered.
Turn the motor off, raise the central broom and manually move the machine forwards, until you can see a
track left by the rotation of the central broom on the floor, as illustrated in Fig. 16.
IMPORTANT: The width of the track must measure no less than 4 cm.
ADJUSTING THE SIDE BROOM:
If you notice that the side broom no longer directs debris towards the central broom, it is necessary to adjust its
height as follows:
Holding the side broom in a raised position, unscrew the Allen key inside one of the adjusting holes Detail 2 Fig. 9
and place it inside the lower hole.
DEBRIS HOPPER
Every 50/60 hours of operation, or whenever necessary, clean the debris hopper Detail 1 Fig. 6 and the 3 plastic
containers using hot water and possibly common detergent to avoid any bacterial growth (wear rubber gloves).
GENERAL RULE: For the correct and long-lasting operation of the machine, keep the exterior body clean, as
well as the interior, under the hood by blowing compressed air (this operation must be carried out with the motor
off and cold).
