SIDE BRUSH:

The side brush, Part. 1 Fig. 4, acts as a dust and waste conveyor. Its purpose is to clean edges, corners and profiles. After cleaning, this must be disengaged (raised) to prevent raising dust and because the cleaning effect of the side brush is inferior to that of the central brush. A left side brush is also available as an optional feature.

CENTRAL BRUSH:

The central brush Part. 2 Fig. 4 is the main machine component for loading the dust and waste into the collection bin. It is available in various degrees of hardness and bristle types, depending on the type of material to be collected up and on the type of floor. It is height adjustable in case of wear (See Chapter 13).

-FIG. 5- 1 2

IMPORTANTE: do not pick up cords, wires, packaging straps, sticks, etc., longer than 25 cm as these could wrap around the centre and side brushes and damage them.

FILTER SYSTEM:

During operation, the filter system ensures that the machine does not raise dust in the surrounding areas. It consists of six cartridge filters Part. 1 Fig. 5. The filter system can be disengaged by pulling knob Part. 1, seen in Fig. 6.

IMPORTANT: Disengage the filter system when passing with the machine over wet or very damp areas to prevent dampening and therefore deteriorating the paper filters.

DUST SEALS:

See Part. 4 Fig. 6. These seals surround the central brush and are very important for ensuring good machine operation, making possible as they do the suction effect. Frequently check to make sure they are in good condition.

COLLECTION BIN: The container or collection bin Part. 1 Fig. 7, made of resistant plastic, holds all the material

-FIG. 6-

picked up by the central brush and the filter dust. It can be easily removed thanks to a wheeled frame Part. 2 Fig. 7.

IMPORTANT: container emptying must always be done with the motor shut off. Wear gloves and possibly a face mask to protect the airways from dust (always present in this operation).

FLAP-LIFT PEDAL:

- Risk of injury to the hands and eyes if the machine is used without all the safety protections properly fitted and in good working condition.
- Risk of injury to hands by touching the side brush or central brush for any reason during rotation. The brushes must only be touched with the motor switched off and wearing protective gloves to avoid being pricked or cut in the event of sharp objects caught up between the bristles.
● Risk of inhalation of harmful substances and hands injuries in emptying the container (bin) without using protective gloves and a face mask.
● Risk of not controlling the machine if this is used on different gradients than those indicated in chapter 5
● Risk of explosion or fire if refuelling with engine switched on or with engine switched off but not yet cold.
● Risk of heavy burn by operating maintenance with engine switched on or with engine switched off but not yet cold.

FOR MOD. SWL-R 990 ST SEE ALSO THE ENGINE MANUAL IN THE CHAPTER "SAFETY RULES".

GENERAL RISKS FOR BATTERIES

● Before charging the batteries, make sure the premises are well-ventilated or perform charging operations in premises set aside specifically for the purpose.
- Do not smoke, do not move near to the batteries with open flames, do not use grinding or welding machines; do not cause sparks near the batteries
- Do not take current samples from the batteries using pliers, sockets and provisional contacts.
● Make sure all connections (cable terminals, sockets, plugs, etc.) are always well tight and in good conditions
- Do not rest metal tools on the batteries.
- Keep the batteries clean and dry, if possible using antistatic cloths.
- Top up with distilled water every time the level of the electrolyte falls to 5 - 10 mm from the splash guards.
● Avoid overcharging and keep battery temperature below 45^ C.
- Maintain any centralised topping-up systems in good working order and service regularly.
- Risk of electric shocks and short circuits; for safety's sake, before performing any maintenance or repairing on the batteries (or on the machine), remove the +/- terminals from the battery poles.
● Risk of explosions during charging; this can occur when recharging with an unsuitable battery charger (depending on battery Amperes)
- During battery recharging operations, or whenever the battery charger plug is inserted, the machine must never be switched on or moved (even manually)

MODEL SWL-R 990 ET (battery model)

1. Check the level of the battery solution and if necessary top up with distilled water.
2. Make sure the connector Part. 1 Fig. 13 is well inserted in the socket Part. 2 Fig. 13..

-FIG. 13- Pent CE 1 2

MODEL SWL-R 990 ST (engine model)

Read carefully the Engine User Manual attached to this machine booklet and follow some simple instructions:

1. Check the level of oil in the engine and top up, if low, wearing protection gloves (possibly nitrile gloves with cotton inside) the oil sump (from 5,5 hp-3,75 kw) contains about 5hg of oil. The recommended oil for temperate climate is 10w-30. To protect engine a particular device stops the engine by switching on if oil is absent or not enough; it is therefore necessary checking the oil level very often.
2. Refuel with switched off and cold engine only; Unlead petrol is strongly advised.

STOP:

● Turn the switch Part. 5 of switchboard anticlockwise

● Turn the key Part. 6 of switchboard anticlockwise.

MODEL SWL-R 990 ST (engine model)

STARTING:

● Disconnect the brake Part. 4 Fig. 10.

- Put the lever "START" in position "Switch off" Part. 1 of the switchboard.

- Move the acceleration lever Part. 2 of switchboard in position "MAX" (represented by a hare).

- Turn the key Part. 7 of switchboard in position 1 and then in position AV

- As soon as the engine starts bring the Start lever back, slowly, and regulate the number of rotations ("RPM"); it's better to warm up the engine for some minutes at slow running before starting.

IMPORTANTE: For warm starting of the engine use the same procedure

STOPPING:

● Turn anticlockwise the key Part. 7 of switchboard.

ATTENTION:

IF THE ENGINE DOESN'T START AT FIRST TRY, REPEAT THE SEQUENCE AT TIME BREAKS OF 10/15 SECS. DON'T PERSIST IN STARTINGS FOR MORE THAN 5/6 SECS.

CHAPTER 11 - CORRECT USE AND ADVICES

IMPORTANT: Before starting work, make sure there are no strings, plastic or metal wires or long strips of cloth, sticks, power leads, etc. on the floor as theY are hazardous and could damage the dust seals and brushes. These must be removed before starting work with the machine.

- Be very careful when driving over rails, door runners, ets. These can cause damage to dust seals. Drive over them very slowly.

- Avoid driving over puddles of water. In the presence of damp surfaces, close the suction by means of knob Part. 1 Fig. 6 located to the right of the operator, alongside the central brush start lever.

- In the presence of large or lightweight objects (leaves, cigarette boxes etc.) lift the front flap by pressing the flap-lift pedal with the heel of your left foot Part. 1 Fig. 9.

- If the surface to be cleaned is very dirty in terms of quantity and quality of the material or dust to be picked up, first of all go over the area "roughly" without paying too much attention to the result. Then with a clean bin and the filters well shaken, go over it again. This way, the desired effect will be achieved.

- Subsequently, if the machine is used regularly and properly, such "rough" cleaning will no longer be required.

- The side brush must only be used for cleaning edges, profiles, corners, etc. It must be raised (disengaged) immediately after use so it does not lift up dust and also because results achieved with the side brush engaged are always inferior to those obtained with the central brush alone.

- For good results, empty the container regularly and keep the filters clean, shaking them with the tools provided.

CHAPTER 12 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: ALL OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED WITH COLD AND SWITCHED OFF ENGINE.

- CLEANING THE DUST FILTERS:

Every 40 / 70 working hours or whenever necessary, check the dust filters Part. 1 Fig. 14. Remove them from housing, loosen the filter-pressing blocks Part. 2 Fig. 14 and clean the filters by, first of all, banging them on the floor (not violently), keeping the perforated side towards the floor. For more thorough cleaning, use a compressed-air gun and blow from outside towards the inside, as shown in figure 14. When refitting the filters, always remember to replace the black seal Part. 3 Fig. 14 on the bottom of the filter.

Make sure that the filters are always in good condition and, whenever necessary, replace them.

DUST SEALS:

Every 40 / 70 working hours, check the condition of the dust seals Part. 1 (movable) and Part. 2 (3 fixed seals) Fig. 15 surrounding the central brush Part. 2 Fig. 4. Whenever necessary, replace these.

IMPORTANT: By replacing the seals make sure the side seals (the shortest one on the right and on the left. in total 2) are raised off the ground of about 2 mm.

CENTRAL BRUSH:

-FIG. 15-

Part. 2 Fig. 4. Every 50 / 80 working hours, or whenever necessary, check the condition of the central brush, especially if you have picked up pieces of string, wire, etc.

To remove such items from the brush:

- Remove the bin Part. 2 Fig. 7.

- Kneel down and inspect the central brush under the machine. Wearing gloves and a face mask to protect the airways, remove any pieces of string or wire wrapped around the central brush. The 4 hooks (eyebolts) provided can also be used to raise the machine (see Fig. 1) and perform this operation. Take care not to stand underneath the machine.

ADJUSTMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS
