TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The CS500 is a walk-behind sweeping machine powered
by batteries with an output voltage of 12V. It is designed
to clean tiled, cement or tarred ooring, both indoors and
outdoors.
The CS500 must be used on dry surfaces, but can also
work on wet surfaces if necessary as long as the vacuum
is not activated.
This sweeping machine features a central brush for
collecting brushed-up material, a side brush for cleaning
along edges and in corners, a vacuum system with lter
to avoid raising dust, and a debris hopper that is moved
manually by the operator.
The machine must be used only for this purpose.

INTENDED USE
This machine is designed and built to clean both indoor and outdoor ooring surfaces in tile, cement and asphalt.
They are intended exclusively for professional use by a qualied operator in industrial, commercial and public
contexts, in guaranteed safe conditions.
ATTENTION: the sweeping machine is not designed to clean carpet oors or rugs. It is not suitable for use in
closed places and should be used in open but covered areas (it must not be used in the rain or underneath
jets of water).
IT IS FORBIDDEN: to use the sweeping machine in places with an explosive atmosphere or to collect
hazardous dust or inammable liquids. In addition, it must not be used for transporting people or objects.
SAFETY
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can be e󰀨ective
without the full cooperation of the person directly responsible for machine operation. The majority of occupational
accidents that happen either in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect the most basic
safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most e󰀨ective guarantee against accidents and is fundamental in
order to implement any prevention programme.
