User manual NILFISK SR 1101 B

[. . . ] The undersigned certify that the above mentioned model is produced in accordance with the following directives and standards. The purpose of this Manual is to provide the operator with all necessary information to use the machine properly, in a safe and autonomous way. It contains information about technical data, safety, operation, storage, maintenance, spare parts and disposal. Before performing any procedure on the machine, the operators and qualified technicians must read this Manual carefully. [. . . ] NOTE If the machine is equipped with electronic battery charger (optional), this must be connected to the batteries to allow the machine to operate. According to the type of batteries (WET or GEL), set the electronic board of the machine and the battery charger (if equipped), according to the following procedure: 1. If this setting corresponds to the type of batteries installed on the machine, go to the next paragraph, otherwise perform the following procedures: · Turn the battery selector (49) to WET for lead batteries or to GEL for gel batteries. Make sure that there are no open doors/hoods and that the machine is in normal operating conditions. If the machine has not been used after being transported, check that all the blocks used for the transportation have been removed. If necessary, adjust the seat to a comfortable position by using the lever (31). If necessary, use the lever (87) to tilt the steering column (1) forward or backward in order to reach a comfortable position. Turn the ignition key (72) to "I" and do not press the pedal (2). If the yellow (74) or red warning light (73) turns on, turn the ignition key to "0" and charge the batteries (see the procedure in Maintenance chapter). Drive the machine to the working area, by keeping the hands on the steering wheel and pressing the pedal (2) on the front side to move forward and on the rear side to move backward. The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal (2). NOTE The seat (25) 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 side brooms (10 and 11) can be lowered and lifted even when the machine is moving. The side brooms do not turn when they are lifted or when the main broom is lifted. Start sweeping by turning the steering wheel (1) and moving the machine forward by pressing the pedal (2). In case of emergency, press the emergency push-button (82) to immediately stop the machine. To deactivate the emergency push-button (82), turn it in the direction shown by the arrow. Turn off the vacuum system by bringing back the switch (79) to the centre. Before performing any maintenance, repair, cleaning or replacement procedure engage the parking brake. Pay careful attention when operating the machine at high speed: sudden steering could cause this three-wheel machine to become unstable due to weight distribution. Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms rotating: this could create unwanted marks on the floor. To collect light and bulky waste materials, lift the front skirt by pressing the pedal (5); take into consideration that the machine vacuum capability is reduced when the front skirt is lifted. [. . . ] Charge the batteries when the yellow (73) or red warning light (74) turns on and at the end of each cleaning cycle. When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes their life shorter. Pay careful attention when charging WET batteries as there may be battery fluid leakages. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician. [. . . ]
