MACHINE START AND STOP

Starting the machine
1. Prepare the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. Turn the ignition key (41) to "I" without pressing the drive pedal (2).
3. In the first 2 seconds after machine start-up, the multifunction display (58) indicates the machine working hours (48-A) and the
type of batteries installed (48-B).
NOTE
Check the battery charge level.
When the multifunction display shows at least one segment of the battery symbol (48-C) which is on but not flashing, the
machine is ready for use.
When the battery symbol (48-C) shows just one segment flashing, the batteries have to be charged (see the procedure in
Maintenance chapter).
4. Drive the machine to the working place, by starting it with both hands on the steering wheel (1) and by pressing the drive pedal
(2).
The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed according to the pressure on the drive pedal (2).
5. The forward/reverse gear is selected with the relevant push-button (46).
NOTE
The driver's seat (12) is equipped with a safety sensor, which allows the machine to be driven by pressing the pedal (2)
only when the operator is on the driver's seat.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with an anti-skid safety system (display icon (48-I)) that reduces the speed when turning and
when the machine tilts laterally, irrespectively of the pressure on the pedal.
In this case, the reduction of speed is not a malfunction but a characteristic that improves the machine stability and
safety in every condition.

Stopping the machine

6. Stop the machine by releasing the drive paddle (2). It is not necessary to lock the machine during stopping or parking, because
the electromagnetic brake on the wheels turn on automatically when the drive pedal is not pressed.
7. Turn off the machine by turning the ignition key (41) to "O".
NOTE
If the machine is on but not working, it automatically turns off after 2 minutes.
Turn on the machine by turning the ignition key to "O" and then to "I".
CAUTION!
In the event of an emergency, to stop all machine functions immediately, press the push-button (5).
To reset the machine functions, connect the connector (6) again.

1. Start the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. Press the "One Touch" button (42) to lower the brush deck (7) and the squeegee (13) and start scrubbing and drying.
