• MUST NOT BE USED OR KEPT OUTSIDE IN HUMID CONDITIONS OR EXPOSED DIRECTLY TO RAIN;

The company is pleased to be able to consider you one of the owners of a SWL R 1300 motorsweeper. Following the instructions below, we are sure you will fully appreciate the working possibilities of this motorsweeper. This instruction manual is provided to instruct and dene as clearly as possible the purposes and intentions for which the machine was built and for use in the context of maximum safety. You will also nd listed all those minor operations necessary to keep the motorsweeper ecient and safe. Always contact specialised personnel for extraordinary maintenance operations (par. 15). You will nd information on the residual hazards or risks, that is, all those risks that cannot be eliminated, with the appropriate instructions for each case. There will be information on the permitted and not permitted uses, indications on the commissioning of the motorsweeper, technical indications and permitted performances, indications on the use of the motorsweeper and its maintenance, indications for decommissioning and for dismantling or demolition.

The machine has been designed for the cleaning and removal of dust and dirt generally present on hard, not excessively uneven at surfaces such as: cement, asphalt, stoneware, ceramic, wood, sheet metal, marble, rubber or plastic rugs in general, ashlar or smooth, synthetic or short pile bre carpets. Figure 1 The motorsweeper is controlled by an operator on board the machine and is of the assisted front discharge type. Removal of the coarsest dirt takes place through the action of the rotating brushes (Item 1 and 2 Figure 1) while ner dirt is removed through a suction system (Item 4 Figure 1), which also prevents the formation of dust due to the action of the brushes. In particular, the machine is equipped with a side brush (Item 1 Figure 1; operator left side brush on request) that convey the dirt to the centre of the machine, and a cylindrical rotating central brush (Item 2 Figure 1), assembled transversely to the machine, which removes dirt by discharging it into the waste container located on the front of the machine (Item 3 Figure 1). The nest debris, instead, is trapped in the lter system (Item 5 Figure 1) and dropped into the waste container thanks to the lter shaker (Item 6 Figure 1). Finally, a hydraulic lifting system allows the operator to empty the waste container when it is full. All the brushes present are adjustable and can be disconnected by the operator through dedicated controls.43

3.2. SAFETY PROTECTIONS AND DEVICES

As shown in Figure 2, it is possible to see the safety protections and devices that must be intact and carefully tted. The machine must not be used with damaged or missing protections or without safety devices that are not intact and functioning correctly. A description of the protections and safety devices is therefore provided below.

SIDE BRUSH The side brush is installed on the operator side, Item 1 Figure 3, acts as a conveyor of dust and debris, and is designed primarily for the cleaning of edges, corners and proles. It is possible to disengage each brush through a dedicated command. It is available in dierent hardness and nature of the bristles, depending on the type of material to be collected or the ooring. On request, the additional side brush installed on the opposite side is installed. IMPORTANT: Do not touch the side brush with your hands during rotation and do not collect lamentary materials (wires, ropes, etc.) Figure 3 3.4. CENTRAL BRUSH The central brush Item 2 Figure 3 is the main part of the machine and allows the loading of dust and debris into the waste container. It is available in dierent hardness and nature of the bristles, depending on the type of material to be collected or the ooring. It is adjustable in height when worn. IMPORTANT: Do not collect cords, wires, packing straps, sticks, etc. longer than 25 cm because they could wrap around the central and side brush and then damage it. 3.5. DUST SEALS The seals Item 3 Figure 3 surround the central brush and are very important for correct functioning of the machine as they allow dust to be suctioned in; it is important to check its condition often. 3.6. SUCTION SYSTEM The suction system (Item 4 Figure 1) allows collection of the nest debris and prevents the formation of dust that can form by the action of the brushes. 3.7. FILTERING SYSTEM The ltering system is obtained by means of a pocket lter Item 1 Figure 4 and traps the nest particles that are suctioned in by the suction system and prevents dust from spreading into the outside environment. A shaking system (Item 2 Figure 4) is used to release debris inside the waste container recleaning the lters. Figure 445 3.8. WASTE CONTAINER The waste container (Item 1, Figure 5) is used to contain all the material collected by the central brush and the dust of the lters. It is operated by a hydraulic actuator (Item 2, Figure 5) that allows it to be emptied and is equipped with a safety locking system (Item 3, Figure 5) in the fully open position. Figure 5 3.9. CONTAINER FLAP The container ap (Item 4 Figure 5) allows the operator to close the access of the debris to the waste container, preventing any leakage of the debris collected with the brushes stopped and during the lifting phase promoting emptying at the desired time and in the intended place (Figure 6). It is left open during cleaning operations. It is equipped with side seals and a central unit that has the task of promoting the action of the central brush during waste collection operations and ensuring a level of sealing that prevents the leakage of debris when closed.

• Windscreen wiper (C) Figure 2053 Figure 21 Figure 22 Figure 23 The LED ceiling light in the cab is switched on or o via the pressure switch shown in Figure 21. Above the latter (Figure 21) is the stable position switch (Figure 22), which activates the window washer device. The device is activated when the switch is pressed and deactivated when it is released. The windscreen wiper is activated via the two-position stable switch (Figure 23). In position 1 the windscreen wiper is activated while in position 0 it is deactivated.

The safety bar (Item 10 Figure 2) prevents accidental closure of the waste container when it is lifted. After the container has been lifted, remove the safety bar from the rest position (Pos. 1 Figure 24) and place the safety bar in the base (Pos. 2 and 3, Figure 24). Remove the safety bar by lifting it from the base, sliding it along the slot and repositioning it in the initial position. MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY BAR HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED BEFORE LOWERING THE WASTE CONTAINER. Figure 24

4.4.2. ENGINE HOOD, SEAT HOOD AND FILTER COVER SAFETY DEVICES

The engine hood (Item 1 Figure 2), the seat hood (Item 3 Figure 2) and lter covers (Item 2 Figure 2) can be easily opened to allow for inspection and maintenance operations. They are equipped with safety devices that prevent accidental closure. In particular, the engine hood and seat hood are equipped with safety rods that t together as shown in Figure

Figure 25 Opening beyond the limit of the lter cover is prevented by dedicated cables (Figure 26). This avoids the danger of damaging the cover itself as well as the persons around it. Figure 26

The motorsweeper was created to clean processing residues, dust, dirt in general, all at, hard, not excessively uneven surfaces such as: cement, asphalt, stoneware, ceramic, wood, sheet metal, marble, rubber or plastic rugs in general, ashlar or smooth, synthetic or short pile bre carpets. The permitted conditions of use are as follows. Minimum operating temperature: -20°C (-4°F) Maximum operating temperature: +38°C (+100.4°F) Maximum front and side slope: para. 3.10 ALWAYS USE SAFETY BELTS WHEN OPERATING THE MOTORSWEEPER. Refer to the engine manual for additional permitted conditions of use. IMPORTANT: Do not use and do not leave at rest with temperatures above +40°C (+104°F).55 IMPORTANT: proceed with emptying, cleaning and maintenance of the machine only on at and regular ooring that allows perfect stability to the machine for the entire duration of all the afore-mentioned operations.

5.2. NON-PERMITTED CONDITIONS OF USE

• The motorsweeper cannot be used on slopes greater than what is reported.

• It cannot be used in environments where explosive or ammable materials are present.

• It cannot be used on dirt, gravel or very uneven surfaces.

• It cannot collect oils, poisons and chemical materials in general, (in the case of having to use the machine in chemical plants request specic authorisation that will be produced by the retailer or parent company).

• It cannot be used on urban or non-urban roads and must not travel on any public road.

• It cannot be used in poor lighting environments, except for models equipped with work lights.

• It cannot be towed in any way including on private premises and on public roads or in public places.

• It cannot be used to sweep snow or to wash or degrease surfaces in general that are wet or very wet.

• It cannot operate in the presence of spinning or the construction of liform materials because the nature of the material to be collected is incompatible with the rotation of the brushes.

• It cannot be used in any way as a support for objects or as a raised oor for property and persons.

• Never let anyone approach within range of the machine.

• Do not make changes of any kind unless authorised by the manufacturer. In addition, refer to the engine manual for any additional conditions of use that are not permitted.

CHAPTER 6 - PREPARATION (UNPACKING)

The motorsweeper is delivered packed on top of its pallet and comes with the side brush/brushes disassembled. After removing the outer packaging, the machine must be removed from the pallet: By lifting with lifting devices of suitable capacity for the weight of the machine (indicated on the CE plate) using the eyebolts supplied (Figure 27); Through the use of suitable platforms. Figure 27 At the end of the unpacking operation, disassemble and store the eyebolts and assemble the side brush/brushes, as illustrated in paragraph 14.5. IMPORTANT: All waste materials resulting from the unpacking operation must be disposed of by the user, following the specic disposal regulations currently in force.56 CHECK THAT THE PROTECTIONS ARE PERFECTLY INTACT AND CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED; IN CASE OF DEFECTS OR MISSING ELEMENTS DO NOT PROCEED WITH START-UP AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE DEALER OR THE PARENT COMPANY.

The motorsweeper is supplied ready for the rst start-up by the user. Adjustments, inspections and functional tests have already been performed by the Manufacturer. Carefully check the hydraulic oil level in the dedicated tank (Figure 28). Figure 28 Read the engine instruction booklet carefully, but in any case:

1 - Check the engine oil level. If it is low top up.

2 - Check the water level in the radiator.

3 - Check the fuel level. If it is low top up.

All these operations must be carried out with the engine o and cold.

7.2. TRAINING OF OPERATORS

There is no need for specic training of the operator with regard to the rst start-up of the motorsweeper, except for the information contained in this manual and, in that, relating to the engine. 7.3. FIRST STARTUP The rst start-up of the motorsweeper is carried out in the same manner as described in paragraph 8.3.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY BELTS WHEN OPERATING THE MOTORSWEEPER. NEVER TOUCH THE SIDE BRUSH WITH YOUR HANDS DURING ROTATION57 CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO PERSONS LESS THAN 2 METERS FROM THE MOTORSWEEPER DURING THE WASTE CONTAINER EMPTYING OPERATIONS. ALSO CHECK THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE SPACE TO AVOID SHOCKS THAT COULD DAMAGE THE MOTORSWEEPER AND COMPROMISE ITS OPERATION (PARAGRAPH 10.3.2). IMPORTANT: Before starting the work, check if on the surface there are any cords, plastic or metal wires or long rags, sticks, power wires etc.; these are dangerous and could damage the dust seals and brushes. They must therefore be removed before starting work with the machine. IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, the machine switches o automatically if the operator gets up from the driving position. It can only be started when seated in the driver’s seat.

• Be very careful when passing over rails or gate guides etc. These are the source of the greatest damage to the dust seals. When it is necessary to pass over them, do so very slowly.

• Disconnect the lter system when moving the machine over wet or very wet surfaces to avoid dampening and therefore deteriorating the lter. Avoid passing over puddles.

• If the surface to be cleaned is very dirty due to the quantity or quality of the material or dust to be collected, it is advisable to carry out a rst “rough” sweep without paying too much attention to the result obtained. After this, with the waste container empty and the lters well shaken, repeat the steps; this will obtain the desired eect.

• The side brush must only be used for cleaning edges, proles, corners, etc., it must be raised (disconnected) immediately afterwards in order to avoid raising unnecessary dust, and because the result obtained with the side brush inserted is always lower than that of the central brush only.

• For a good result, empty the container often and keep the lters clean by vibrating them by means of the lter shaker.

8.2. TRAINING OF OPERATORS

There is no need for special training of the operator with regard to the use of the motorsweeper, except for the information contained in this manual and, in that, relating to the engine. 8.3. OPERATIONAL START-UP To start the machine: Turn the starter key (Item 1 Figure 12) into the “ON” position, to the rst click (Figure 29). The electric motorsweeper services are also activated; Turn it again to the “GL” position, to the second click, to activate the preheating of the engine spark plugs. The relative light on the indicator (Item 16 Figure 12) is activated (no. 2 Figure 18). Wait for the preheating light to turn o; Turn the key to the “ST” position, to the third click. The engine begins to start; When the engine is started, release the key that will return to the “GL” position. After starting, gradually bring the throttle lever (Item 2 Figure 12) to the end of the stroke, allowing the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Adjust the throttle lever to at least ½ ÷ ¾ of the stroke for optimal performance. Figure 2958 8.4. FORWARD DIRECTION To activate the forward direction: Disengage the parking brake (Item 6 Figure 12), if activated (continuous beep). Position the direction selector (Item 4 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 30. Gradually press the accelerator pedal with your foot (Item 3 Figure 12). To reach the maximum travel speed, adjust the engine speed regulator lever (Item 2 Figure 12) to the end of the stroke (fully down) and press the forward pedal to the end of the stroke. Release your foot to stop the traction of the engine and gradually press the brake pedal (Item 5 Figure 12) to nish operation of the motorsweeper. Return the direction selector to the central (neutral) position as shown in Figure 30. Figure 30 If necessary, activate the work lights by pulling the selector upwards (only in models where the work lights are included). When the lights are activated the relative indicator (no. 1 Figure 18) lights up on the indicator. 8.5. REVERSE DIRECTION To activate reverse: Disengage the parking brake (Item 6 Figure 12), if activated (continuous beep). Position the direction selector back (Item 4 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 31. Gradually press the accelerator pedal with your foot (Item 3 Figure 12).

Return the direction selector to the central (neutral) position as shown in Figure 31. Figure 31 NOTE 1: The reverse speed is reduced by half with respect to the forward speed. NOTE 2: An intermittent beep signals reversing of the motorsweeper. 8.6. OPERATIONAL SHUTDOWN To stop the engine, bring the engine speed regulator lever (Item 2 Figure 12) to a minimum (fully up) and turn the starter key (Item 1 Figure 12) anti-clockwise until it reaches the “OFF” position. In the event of prolonged stops, the parking brake must be engaged (Item 6 Figure 12) as described in paragraph 8.7. NOTE: the braking system is also working with the machine switched o. It is advisable to remove the key when the engine is switched o during maintenance, inspection and adjustment operations to prevent inadvertent or accidental ignition by persons unrelated to the operations59 8.7. PARKING In case of prolonged stops, in order to ensure the stability of the machine, it is necessary to activate the parking brake (Item 6 Figure 12) proceeding as follows (Figure 32): Press the brake pedal (Item 5 Figure 12) Move the parking brake lever (Item 6 Figure 12) downwards. Figure 32 To disengage the parking brake, press the brake pedal (Item 5 Figure 12). The lever will return to the home position on its own. NOTE: with the electrical services active, the parking brake is accompanied by a continuous audible signal. 8.8. EMERGENCY STOP In case of emergency, it is necessary to: turn the starter key (Item 1 Figure 12) anti-clockwise until it reaches the “OFF” position. Engage the parking brake as described in paragraph 8.7. 8.9. CENTRAL BRUSH To start the cleaning operations of the motorsweeper it is always necessary to insert the central brush. With the engine running: Use the brush movement selector lever (Item 7 Figure 12) bringing it to single conguration (only central brush activated, lever down) or combined (all brushes activated, lever up) as shown in Figure 33, pos. A. Insert the central brush by pushing forward the brush control lever (Item 8 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 33, pos. B. The brush will lower and start cleaning. Proceed with the forward movement of the motorsweeper (para. 8.4) to reach the areas to be cleaned. To disengage the brush: Pull back the brush control lever (Item 8 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 33, pos. C. The brush will rise from the surface. Use the brush movement selector lever (Item 7 Figure 12) bringing it to a central conguration (brushes deactivated) as shown in Figure 33, pos. D. Figure 33 8.10. SIDE BRUSH To activate the side brush, with the engine running: Use the brush movement selector lever (Item 7 Figure 12) bringing it to a combined conguration (all brushes activated, lever up) as shown in Figure 34, pos. A. Insert the side brush using the side brush switch (Item 10 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 34, pos. B. The brush lowers to the surface. If necessary, adjust the rotation speed through the adjustment lever (Item 11 Figure 12) , moving it down to increase it and up to decrease it (Figure 34, pos. C). To disengage the brush: Disconnect the side brush using the side brush action selector (Item 10 Figure 12) as shown in Figure 34, pos. D. The brush rises. If necessary, decrease the rotation speed through the adjustment lever (Item 11 Figure 12) by moving it up60 (Figure 34, pos. E). Use the brush movement selector lever (Item 7 Figure 12) bringing it to the central position (all brushes deactivated) as shown in Figure 34, pos. F. Figure 34 8.11. SUCTION To activate or deactivate the suction, with the engine started or only with electrical services activated, turn the relative switch (Item 12 Figure 12, e Figure 35). Figure 35 8.12. FILTER SHAKER To activate the lter shaker, with the engine started or only the electrical services activated, turn the relative switch (Item 13 Figure 12) by pressing it in an unstable position for the desired time and releasing it to deactivate it (Figure 36). Figure 36

8.13. EMPTYING THE WASTE CONTAINER

To empty the waste container, with the engine running: Close the container ap using the relative control lever (Item 15 Figure 12) as shown in box A in Figure 37. The light on the indicator (no. 4 Figure 18) comes on to conrm the operation. Lift the waste container through the control lever (Item 14 Figure 12) lowering it and holding it in that position until the container reaches the desired position (B, Figure 37). Open the container ap by raising the lever so that the waste is released where desired (C, Figure 37). The light on the indicator (no. 4 Figure 18) will turn o. Figure 3761 Once the emptying operation is completed, to return to the initial conguration, simply use the control lever of the container, lifting it (Figure 38). The container ap will be in the open position to start the cleaning operations. Figure 38 IMPORTANT: Make sure that the ap is in the closed position when lifting the container and when moving without cleaning to avoid the unexpected spillage of waste. Also make sure that, during cleaning operations, it is in the open position, to allow the waste to enter the container.

There is no need for specic training of the operator with regard to the various phases of adjustment of the motorsweeper, except for the information contained in this manual.

9.2. ADJUSTING THE CENTRAL BRUSH ACTION

When the central brush (Item 1 Figure 39) is worn and, consequently, begins to decrease its eciency, adjust its height by means of the knob (Item 9 Figure 12) unscrewing and moving it forward, to lower the brush and increasing its action on the surface to be cleaned (2, Figure 39). Adjust until, in the lowered position, the brush leaves a streak of 3-5 cm on the oor (Figure 40). Once the desired degree of action has been achieved, tighten the knob to lock its position. Figure 39 To verify that the central brush is properly adjusted, its “track” must be measured as follows:

1. After making the adjustments, activate the central brush and, without moving forward or backward, let

it work at the same point for at least 10/15 seconds. Lift the central brush and move the motorsweeper until the track that the central brush in rotation left is visible on the oor, as shown in Figure 40.62 Figure 40

9.3. SIDE BRUSH ACTION ADJUSTMENT

OPERATION TO BE PERFORMED WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND THE ELECTRICAL SERVICES DISABLED. When the side brush is being used or to adjust its action on the surface: Use the screw (Item 1 Figure 41) to adjust the height of the brush. The lower the screw, the lower the brush. When the desired height is reached, lock the position by tightening the ring nut (Item 2 Figure 41) Figure 41 NOTE: If necessary, remove the side brush protection (Item 3 Figure 41) and reassemble it when the adjustment is complete.

DEFINITION: The residual risks that cannot be eliminated are all those that, for various reasons, cannot be removed, but for each of which we report the indications to operate in the context of maximum safety.

• Risk of injury to the hands, body and eyes if the machine is used without all the safety protections correctly tted and intact.

• Risk of injury to the hands from touching the side brush or the central brush for any reason during rotation. The brushes can only be touched with the engine o and with the aid of protective gloves to avoid being pricked or cut if in the bristles there were pointed splinters of debris in general.

• Risk of inhalation of harmful substances, abrasions to the hands due to emptying of the waste container without using protective gloves and mask to protect the respiratory tract. Risk of not being in control of the machine should it be used on slopes greater than those indicated in paragraphs

3.10 and 5.1, or of it not being properly stopped when left parked.

Risk of explosion or re from refuelling with the engine on or with the engine o but not completely cold.

10.2. GENERAL RISKS FOR ACID BATTERIES

• Before charging, check that the room is well ventilated or charge in rooms that may be used for this purpose.63

• Do not smoke, do not approach with naked ames, do not use grinding wheels and welders; in any case, do not cause sparks near the batteries.

• Do not draw power from the battery with pliers, sockets and temporary contacts.

• Make sure that all connections (lugs, sockets, plugs, etc.) are always tight and in a good condition.

• Do not place metal tools on the battery.

• Keep the battery clean and dry using antistatic cloths if possible.

• Top up with distilled water whenever the electrolyte level drops to 5 - 10 mm from the splashguard.

• Avoid overcharging and keep the battery temperature below 45°C.

• Keep any centralised topping up systems in perfect working order, ensuring periodic maintenance is performed on them.

• Risk of electric shock and short circuit; for safety purposes, before carrying out any maintenance or repair on the battery (or on the machine), disconnect the +/- terminals from the battery poles.

• Risk of explosion during charging; this could occur when charging with an unsuitable battery charger (based on battery amps).

• During the battery charging operation, or in any case when the battery charger plug is inserted, it is forbidden to turn on the machine or to move it (even manually).

• In the event of accidental spills of liquid from the batteries due to any reason, mop up leaks with absorbent material using anti-acid gloves and clothing, safety glasses and respiratory protection devices, consulting the battery manual. 10.3. PROTECTIVE MEASURES

10.3.1. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)

In addition to what is reported in the previous paragraphs, in order to proceed safely during maintenance, adjustment, inspection and cleaning of the motorsweeper, personal protection equipment (PPE) suitable for the type of risk that may occur will be necessary. In particular, for the maintenance operations referred to in this manual, the following will be necessary:

• Safety gloves against mechanical risk;

• Respiratory protective devices. In case of accidental acid spills from the battery or if hazardous material has been accidentally collected, the following will be necessary:

• Safety gloves against mechanical and chemical risks (e.g. neoprene gloves);

• Protective clothing against chemical risk. For the cleaning operations of the motorsweeper it will also be necessary to use only suitable work clothes and ensure they are cleaned at the end of the work. Refer to the engine manual for further prevention and protection measures.

The stability of the machine during travel and cleaning operations is mainly guaranteed by compliance with the maximum slope values (para. 3.10 and 5.1) as well as by verication of the capacity of the work surface which must be such as to withstand the value of the weight of the motorsweeper indicated on the CE plate. The operation of emptying of the waste container, and all the maintenance, adjustment, cleaning and inspection phases must take place on oors without slopes and such as to bear the value of the weight of the motorsweeper indicated on the CE plate. To ensure the necessary stability during machine parking, it will be necessary to insert the parking brake as shown in para. 8.7. If it is not possible to leave the machine stationary on at surfaces, it is advisable to use dedicated wheel stop wedges. The stability of the raised waste container for inspection, cleaning and maintenance operations is guaranteed by positioning the safety bar as described in para. 4.4.1.

11.2. STABILITY DURING TRANSPORTATION

The motorsweeper must be transported and handled considering the weight of the motorsweeper indicated on the CE plate. Lifting of the motorsweeper must take place as shown in para. 6 while for transportation it will be necessary to secure the machine. For this purpose, it is possible to use the relative fastening slots (Figure 43). Once positioned, it is necessary to insert the parking brake as shown in para. 8.7 using, where appropriate and in addition, dedicated wheel stop wedges.65 Figure 43
