INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

USE

WARNING!

On some points of the machine there are some adhesive plates indicating:

DANGER

−

WARNING

−

CAUTION

−

CONSULTATION

−

While reading this Manual, the operator must pay particular attention to the symbols shown. Do not cover these plates for any reason and immediately replace them if they are damaged.

GENERAL CAUTIONS

This machine is designed as a high performance, high capacity sweeper that can clean in tight and congested areas. By design this means a narrow wheel base with tight steering capability. These design requirements can under certain conditions create instability during machine operation. Instability can be caused by a combination of machine travel speed, abrupt maneuvering, operation on an incline, low tire pressure, weight in the hopper and or raised hopper. For this reason the machine must be driven by a qualiﬁ ed operator who must be properly instructed on how to use it and be aware of the potential risks. The following are situations known to cause instability in the machine and care should be taken by the operator to assure safe operation:

Lifting the hopper on an incline

–

Maneuvering the machine with the hopper lifted

–

Abrupt steering

–

Maneuvering with speed, on a slope and/or with weight in the hopper

–

Low tire pressure

– Inside the cab there is a decal (19, Fig. E) that warns the operator of the risk of instability and provides information on activities to avoid to prevent machine instability (see picture).

BEFORE START-UP

If necessary, open the right upper lid (28, Fig. G) by releasing the fasteners (29) with the supplied key, and refuel the machine

1. through the ﬁ ller neck (10, Fig. F).

CAUTION!

Do not ﬁ ll the fuel tank to the top, but leave at least 1.6 in (4 cm) from the ﬁ ller neck to allow the fuel to expand.

Check the dust control system water level through the indicator (42, Fig. F). If necessary, supply water according to the

2. following procedure:

Disengage the fasteners (10, Fig. G) with the supplied key, then open the left lid (9).

•
