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 System 27Service 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.

6. Remove the dust lter (G).
7. In an outdoor area, clean the dust lter by
shaking it on a level and clean surface, tapping 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

Electrical and Control System

Functional Description (SW900 B)

Electrical and Control System 38Service 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 insuf­cient, 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*)
respectively, which deactivate the relevant motors
when the brooms are lifted from the ground by means
of the manual levers on the handlebar. The display on the control panel shows the battery charge status and the battery charger by means of the LED electronic board (EB1), which is directly con­nected to the battery charger. The hour counter (HM) is connected in parallel to the electromagnetic switch (K0) and it counts the operat­ing time of the main motor (M0). The machine system is connected to the battery with the connector (C1). The battery charger is always con­nected to the batteries.
* : when the left broom is equipped

Electrical Protections

The main motor (M0) is protected by the 70A circuit breaker (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). The battery charger (CH) is protected by the 30A fuse (F2). The main battery wiring harness is protected by a 125A safety fuse (F0) (on the supported versions).
Page 39

Functional Description (SW900 P)

Electrical and Control System 39Service 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).
