User manual NILFISK SR 1601 D3 EDITION 2

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] (Only for SR 1601 P3): Fill the tank (22) with unleaded fuel for vehicles. NOTE If the diesel machine runs out of fuel completely, the fuel system must be bled before the engine can be re-started. To avoid this situation, fill the fuel tank (22) when the fuel gauge (56) indicates 1/4 tank. Install an LPG tank (50) having characteristics which comply with the laws in force in the country where it used. For single pass sweeping the operator can simply lower the main broom. If the pedal is "spongy" or fades under pressure, do not drive the machine. NOTE The driver's seat (32) is equipped with a safety sensor, which allows the machine to be started up and driven only when the operator is on the driver's seat. (For SR 1601 D3 version): Turn the ignition key (64) clockwise to "I" and hold it until the pre-heating glow plug indicator (63) turns off. Do not perform the step above, if the engine is already on and warmed up. (For SR 1601 LPG3 version): Slowly open the safety valve on the LPG tank (50). Turn the ignition key (64) clockwise to "II", then release it when the engine starts. If the engine does not start after running the starter for 15 seconds, release the ignition key, wait 1 minute and then repeat steps 1 and 2. (For SR 1601 LPG3 and SR 1601 P3 versions): After the ignition, let the engine run for a few seconds, then release the choke lever (68). Before using the machine, run the engine at idle for 5 minutes by turning the engine speed lever (51) backward (idle speed). Turn the engine speed lever (51) forward (working speed) and drive the machine at slow speed for 2 or 3 minutes to warm up the hydraulic system. Press the front part of the drive pedal (37) to move forward and the rear part to move backward. The drive speed can be adjusted from zero to maximum speed by increasing the pressure on the pedal. When steering, avoid abrupt direction changes, pay careful attention and drive the machine at slow speed, especially when the hopper is full or when operating on inclines. Use the brake pedal (35) to control machine speed while descending inclines. Turn off the machine by turning the ignition key (64) to "O", then remove it. Before performing any maintenance, repair, cleaning or replacement procedure engage the parking brake. Lower the hopper properly by using the lever (54) if hopper not already in down position. [. . . ] Change the oil if major contamination from a mechanical failure occurs (see the procedure in the Service Manual). Drive the machine on a level floor, engage the parking brake and turn the ignition key (64) to "O". Open the engine compartment hood (1) by using the unlocking push-button (25). (See the procedure in the relevant Manual) Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours of operation, and then after 150 hours. [. . . ]
