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.
ƒ Crossing over rails, small steps or guides which stick up from the floor can damage the flaps 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.
ƒ Avoid crossing over wet or particular damp surfaces in order to avoid damage to the paper filters. In
cases of strict necessity, before crossing stop suction pulling the lever Detail 4 Fig. 6.
ƒ 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 first time to get rid of the majority of the dirt, then pass over a second
time with the refuse container and the suction filters clean.
ƒ If the machine is used methodically and correctly, it is not necessary to carry out multiple passes.
ƒ To keep the machine efficient and consequently obtain top performance, the vacuum filters must be
shaken and cleaned periodically and the refuse container emptied frequently.
ƒ 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. 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.
ƒ 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.
ƒ 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 A FULL CYCLE WHEN RE-
CHARGING THE BATTERIES.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND COLD
u CLEANING THE DUST FILTER:
Check the dust filter Detail 4 Fig. 8 every 40-70 working hours or as necessary. Open the cover Detail 1
Fig.1 to access the filter compartment.
Cleaning the filter: with the bin Detail A Fig.1 in place, point the compressed air gun towards the top of the
filter so that the dust falls into the bin. Make sure the filter is in good condition and replace it if necessary.
u DUST SEALS
Check the condition of the flaps every 40/70 hours. Damage or inefficiency of the flaps jeopardises the per-
formance of the machine in terms of cleaning quality, Detail 4 Fig. 9
IMPORTANT: To replace the side flaps, make sure that their lower edge is 2-3 mm from the ground.
