MACHINE DESCRIPTION  
OPERATION CAPABILITIES  
The sweeper is used to sweep dust or light debris on  
smooth and solid floor, in civil or industrial environment,  
under safe operation conditions by a qualified Operator.  
The machine must be disposed of properly, because  
of the presence of toxic-harmful materials (batteries,  
oils, etc.), which are subject to standards that require  
disposal in special centres (see the Scrapping  
chapter).  
If the machine is used according to the instructions,  
the vibrations do not cause dangerous situations. The  
machine vibration level is less than 2.5 m/s2.  
When lead batteries (WET) are installed on this  
machine, do not tilt the machine more than 30° from  
its horizontal position to not allow the highly corrosive  
acid to leak out of the batteries. When the machine is  
to be tilted for maintenance operations, remove the  
batteries.  
NOTE  
Forward, backward, front, rear, left or right are  
intended with reference to the operator’s

detergents to clean it; the filter can be damaged.  
Polyester filter (optional), to clean it, see the  
above-mentioned instructions. For a better  
cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter with water  
and non-lathering detergents. This provides better  
quality cleaning but reduces the life of the filter,  
which will have to be replaced more frequently.  
The use of unsuitable detergents can damage the  
filter.  
e) Reassemble the removed components in the reverse  
order of disassembly.  
8. Check the filter body for tears.  
9. If necessary, clean the filter compartment rubber seal
