The waste collected by the machine must be given to the relevant urban cleaning company since it is considered urban waste or similar.
The machine cannot be used to collect toxic-harmful materials.
On scrapping, proceed with the correct disposal of the materials that make up the machine. It is compulsory to give the machine to authorised
collection companies which will correctly dispose of oil, filters, plastic, metal, electric motors, electric boards, etc. in compliance with legislation
in force. Decommissioned equipment contains precious recyclable materials and therefore should be given to the relevant collection centres.
Please dispose of decommissioned equipment through differentiated collection systems.
Exhausted batteries are considered harmful toxic waste and therefore should be exclusively given to collection companies with specific
authorisation (ascertain on hand-over).
Exhausted oil must never be disposed of in the environment.
It must be sent to authorised collection companies, in compliance with legislation in force.
Temporary storage must be in airtight containers, fitted with a sealed lid, to avoid contact with the environment and rainwater.
Filters should also be delivered to authorised collection companies and temporarily stored following the same procedures applied to the storage
of oil.
All packaging is recyclable. The packaging should not be thrown away with domestic waste, but sent to the relevant collection
centres.

USE of MACHINE
PARKING BRAKE
RELEASE BRAKE
CLEANING THE FILTERS
VACUUM CUT-OFF
DRIVE
To release the brake, completely push the above mentioned (pic.8 pos.E).
The parking brake is activated by pressing the block lever located on the front wheel (pic.8 pos.D)
The mechanical traction is engaged by pulling the lever (pic.1 pos.A) from the handle.
Note: we recommend, when turning, that speed be decreased to gain better maneuverability.
Effective operation of the sweeper depends on the state of the filters which must be kept clean.
If the area to be cleaned is particularly dusty, filters must be shaken more often, at least every 5
minutes. To clean the filter, move the handle (pic.6 pos.E) up and down 4-5 times.
Note: please note that this kind of filter need to be cleaned every 2-3 fillings of the dirt container.
When passing over wet floors it is necessary to cut off vacuum (fig.2 pos.B electric
version, fig.4 pos.B Honda version)
