3.1 Handling and transport
The machine is easily transportable both in packed and free form. It is
recommended to pay attention to overhead power lines when it is transported
for its use.
3.2 Before use
Before commissioning the machine, the operator must have read and understood
all parts of this manual and in particular what is stated in Chapter 2 on safety.
Before using the machine for the first time:
- familiarize yourself with control devices and their functions,
- check that all machine components subject to wear or deterioration are in a
healthy state,
- ensure that all security systems are intact and that the fixed crankcases are in
the correct position.
3.3 connection
The machine must be connected exclusively to a well-charged battery of 12 Volts
via the clamps present at the end of the supplied power cable.
How to connect clamps:
- connect the RED CLAMP to the battery at the + sign
- connect the BLACK CLAMP to the battery at the sign -
NB:
-Do not connect clamps to generators, car batteries, agricultural vehicles or charging
groups that could generate potentially harmful current spikes for the machine. Do not use
the machine in contact with water.
- Be sure to screw the screw rings of the machine and cable connection sockets firmly,
to avoid movements on the contacts that would damage the operation of the sockets
themselves
3.4 Use of the machine
The machine is started by means of the switch placed on the handle. Once
started approach with the comb to the branch to shake. Pay attention to branches
especially laden with fruits.
- Hold the machine firmly with both hands and always work in stable condition on
the legs.
NB: Avoid touching moving parts of the machine in any way.
- To turn off the machine it is enough to return the switch to the opposite
position to the power-on position.
In the event that the machine is temporarily unused, it is important to place it in
a stable horizontal position in order to avoid risky falls.
Tips for use:
The wear of the mechanical and electronic components of the machine is closely
related to the mode of use of the machine itself. Therefore avoid insisting on the branch
to be shaken until determining the stop of the machine, this would result in a
mechanical and thermal overload of the components. Try to limit these locks as much
as possible, so you will extend the life of your tool!
In order to avoid dangerous overloads of effort that may cause damage to the comb, it
is recommended to intersperse the shaking action with regular breaks in order not to
solicit the tool beyond the standards for which it has been designed and tested.
It is not recommended to use low or deteriorated batteries
