User manual NILFISK SR 1301 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. [. . . ] The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal. Lower the main broom with the lever (73), then turn on the vacuum system by pressing the lower part of the switch (56). NOTE The brooms (10, 11, 12) can be lowered and lifted even when the machine is moving. Start sweeping by driving the machine with the hands on the steering wheel (65) and by pressing the pedal (69). In case of emergency, press the emergency push-button (64) to immediately stop the machine. To deactivate the emergency push-button (64), turn it in the direction shown by the arrow. Engage the parking brake by pressing the pedal (75), then engage the brake lock control lever (68). Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms turning: this could create unwanted marks on the floor. To collect light and bulky waste materials, lift the front skirt by pressing the pedal (74); take into consideration that the machine vacuum capability is reduced when the front skirt is lifted. When operating on wet floors, it is essential to turn off the vacuum system by pressing the switch (56) to prevent the dust filter from being damaged. For machine proper operation, the dust filter must be as clean as possible. To clean the dust filter while sweeping, turn on the filter shaker for a short interval by pressing the upper part of the switch (56), then turn on the vacuum system by pressing the lower part of the switch (56). While working, repeat the procedure every 10 minutes on average (depending on the dustiness of the area to be cleaned). When the dust filter is clogged and/or the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore. The hopper (4) should be dumped after each working period and whenever it is full (see the procedure in the next paragraph). To empty it, move the machine close to the dustbin and proceed as follows: · Turn off the vacuum system with the switch (56). Always perform this procedure on a level floor to avoid machine unbalance. When lifting and emptying the hopper (4), engage the parking brake with the pedal (75) and the lever (68). To lower the hopper, press the hopper enabling switch (51) while pressing the hopper lowering switch (57). The hopper cannot be lowered if it is not brought to horizontal position first. After working, before leaving the machine: ­ Turn on the filter shaker shortly, by pressing the upper part of the switch (56). ­ Turn off the machine by turning the ignition key (67) to "0", then remove it. [. . . ] Set the battery type (WET or GEL), according to the following procedure. If lead batteries (WET) are installed, do not change the machine settings. Otherwise, the machine electronic board must be set according to the following procedure. If necessary, charge the batteries (see the procedure in the following paragraph). [. . . ]
