Dust Control System
Functional Description
The dust generated in the compartment of the main
broom is drawn toward the lter from a air ow generated by the fan on main motor (Battery version) or
dynamotor (Petrol version).
The lter located between the vacuum system and the
hopper, retain dirt which is then discharged into the
hopper itself.
The operation of the system depends on the activation
of the machine and the main broom.
The vacuum system consists of a fan installed on the
main motor / dynamotor which is powered by the relay (K0) (see Electrical and Control System chapter).
Dust Control System27Service Manual – SW900
VERSION WITH ELECTRICAL FILTER SHAKER
The electric lter shaker system consists of a motor
(M1) which is powered by the relay (K1) and protected
by the fuse (F1) (see Electrical and Control System
chapter).
VERSION WITH MANUAL FILTER SHAKER
By operating on the lever on the right side of the machine, a rake acts mechanically on the lter ns allowing dirt trapped in the folds of the same to fall by
gravity into the hopper.

the side (H), opposite to the wire gauze (I).
8. Complete the cleaning with compressed air (J)
(maximum pressure 6 bar) blowing only from the
side of the wire gauze (I) and in perpendicular
position as to the gauze itself.
According to the type of lter, observe the
following cautions:
• Polyester lter (standard): For a better clean-
ing, it is allowed to wash the lter with water
and non-lathering detergents. This provides
better quality cleaning but reduces the life of
the lter, which will have to be replaced more
frequently. The use of inadequate detergents
can damage the lter.
• Paper lter (optional): Do not use water or
detergents to clean it; the lter can be dam-
aged.
9. Check the lter body for tears.
10. Clean the gasket (K) along its perimeter and
check it for integrity. If necessary, replace the
lter.
11. Clean the gasket (L) along its perimeter and
check it for integrity; if necessary replace it.
12. If equipped, clean also the pre-lter with
compressed air (maximum pressure 6 bar)

Electrical and Control System
Functional Description (SW900 B)
Electrical and Control System38Service Manual – SW900
The machine functionality check is mainly performed
by the battery charger (CH) that monitors the battery
voltage (BAT) (also) during machine operation (not
only during recharging).
The ignition key (KEY) provides to the battery charger information about the machine on and off condition.
When the ignition switch (KEY) is closed, the battery
charger checks the battery voltage and, if it is insufcient, it activates the electromagnetic switch (K0).
The activation of the electromagnetic switch (K0) is
cut off when the battery charger is connected to the
electrical mains.
On the same circuit of the electromagnetic switch(K0),
there is the hopper safety switch (SW0) which prevents the activation of the electromagnetic switch
(K0) if the hopper is not properly positioned, or if the
upper hood is open.
For the versions equipped with electrical lter shaker, on the same circuit of the electromagnetic switch
(K0) there is the lter shaker switch (SW1). When
pressed, it turns off the electromagnetic switch (K0)
and activates the relay (K1).
The electromagnetic switch (K0) directly drives the
main motor (M0) and the side broom motors (M2) and
(M3*), while the relay (K1) (if equipped) turns on the
lter shaker motor (M1).
On the circuit of the side broom motors (M2) and
(M3*) there are microswitches (SW2) and (SW3*)

Functional Description (SW900 P)
Electrical and Control System39Service Manual – SW900
The dynamotor (G) provides the current necessary
for the activation of the side broom motors (M2) and
(M3*), lter shaker circuit (M1) and hour counter
(HM).
The ignition key (KEY) turned to “0” inhibits the ac-
tivation of the engine, when turned to “1” it allows for
startup and operation.
When the engine is turned on, the current generated by the dynamotor (G) directly activates the side
broom motors (M2) and (M3*).
On the same circuit of the ignition switch (KEY), there
is the hopper safety switch (SW0) which prevents the
activation of the engine if the hopper is not properly
positioned, or if the upper hood is open.
On the versions equipped with electrical lter shaker,
the dynamotor (G) powers also the lter shaker switch
(SW1) which, when pressed, activates the relay (K1).
The relay (K1) turns on the lter shaker motor (M1).
On the circuit of the side broom motors (M2) and
(M3*) there are microswitches (SW2) and (SW3*)
respectively, which deactivate the relevant motors
when the brooms are lifted from the ground by means
of the manual levers on the handlebar.
The optional hour counter (HM) is connected to the
key circuit (KEY) and is powered by the dynamotor
(G) when the engine is running.
Electrical Protections
The dynamotor (G) is protected by the 20A fuse (FA).
The side broom motors (M2) and (M3*) are protected
by 5A circuit breakers (FB) and (FC*) respectively.
The lter shaker motor circuit (M1) is protected by
the 5A fuse (F1).
