MACHINE OPERATION
Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms rotating: this could create unwanted
marks on the fl oor.
Suction inlet and side broom shifting
When necessary, in working mode, shift the suction inlet and side brooms to the left or to the right by pressing the push-
buttons (41 or 42, Fig. D) together with the safety push-button (45).
3rd broom shifting
When necessary, in working mode, shift the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) to the left or to the right by pushing the joystick (46,
Fig. D) to left or to the right.
NOTE
The 3rd broom shifting must be performed with the relevant switch (29, Fig. D) activated.
WARNING!
It is possible to shift to the left or to the right the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) safely, only when the arm extension
(22) is to the left or right end of stroke.
In this situation the arm shifting is limited by proper safety devices.
Otherwise, an excessive shifting can damage the machine or affect its stability.
It is therefore advisable to bring always the 3rd broom arm extension (22, Fig. G) to the left or right end of
stroke.
Bulky debris collection
To collect bulky debris, lift the front skirt (25, Fig. G) by pressing the push-button (47, Fig. D).
Note that, while the skirt is lifted, the machine suction power decreases.
To lower the front skirt (25, Fig. G), press the push-button (48, Fig. D) again.
If necessary, to collect bulky debris, it is also possible to remove the front skirt (25, Fig. G); remove it according to the following
procedure:
Lift the side brooms, then stop the machine and turn off the engine.
Remove the clip (1, Fig. I) and disconnect the tie rod (2) from the skirt (3).
Remove the skirt (3) by withdrawing it from the hinges (4).
Turn on the machine and start working again.
Install the skirt (3) in the reverse order of removal, after stopping the machine and turning off the engine.
NOTE
When the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
After each working cycle, and when the hopper (6, Fig. G) is full, it must be emptied. For the relevant procedure, see the next
paragraph.
