User manual NILFISK SR 1301 P

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] When starting the engine with the ignition key (69) do not press the drive pedal (76). After the ignition, let the engine run for a few seconds, then release the choke lever (74). disengage the parking brake by pressing the pedal (82) and by disengaging the lever (75). Drive the machine to the working area, by keeping the hands on the steering wheel (72) and pressing the pedal (76) 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. Lower the main broom with the lever (80), then turn on the vacuum system by pressing the lower part of the switch (66). NOTE The brooms (10, 11, 12) can be lowered and lifted even when the machine is moving. Start sweeping by turning the steering wheel (72) and moving the machine forward by pressing the pedal (76). In case of emergency, press the emergency push-button (71) to immediately stop the machine. To deactivate the emergency push-button (71), turn it in the direction shown by the arrow. Turn off the machine by turning the ignition key (69) to "0", then remove it. Engage the parking brake by pressing the pedal (82), then engage the brake lock control lever (75). 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 (18) by pressing the pedal (81); 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 (66) 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 (66), then turn on the vacuum system by pressing the lower part of the switch (66). 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). The engine is equipped with a warning system to prevent damages to the engine itself in case the oil quantity in the carter is insufficient. Before the oil level goes below the safety limit, the warning system automatically stops the engine. [. . . ] Unscrew the engine oil level plug (34) and clean it with a clean cloth. Fully screw down the oil level plug (34) then unscrew it again after a few seconds, and check that the oil level is between the ADD (minimum level) and FULL (maximum level) marks (A, Fig. If the oil level is lower than the minimum mark (ADD), remove the filler plug (35) and top up. It is advisable to change the oil when the engine is still hot, to make the oil downflow easier. [. . . ]
