On consignment of the machine
When the machine is consigned to the customer, an immediate check
must be performed to ensure all the material mentioned in the shipping
documents has been received, and also to check the machine has not
suffered damage during transportation. If this is the case, the carrier
must ascertain the extent of the damage at once, informing our
customer service office. It is only by prompt action of this type that the
missing material can be obtained, and compensation for damage
successfully claimed.
Introductory comment
Even the best machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in
good working order. We therefore suggest you read this instruction
booklet carefully and read it again whenever difficulties arise while using
the machine. If necessary, remember that our assistance service
(organised in collaboration with our dealers) is always available for
advice or direct intervention.
Identification data
For technical assistance or to request replacement parts, always give
the model, the version and serial number written on the serial number
plate.
Technical description
FS700 and FS800 are ride-on sweeping machines, powered electrically
(with traction batteries) or with an internal combustion (endothermic)
engine, for the cleaning of both internal and external surfaces with tiled,
concrete or asphalt floors.
The machine must operate on dry surfaces, and if necessary can also
work on wet surfaces making sure the vacuum action is not active.
The machine features a central brush for the collection of brushed up
material, a side brush for cleaning edges and corners, a vacuum system
with filter to avoid raising dust, and a debris hopper that can be manually
removed by means of a mechanical leverage.
Intended use
The sweeping machine is designed to clean both inside and outside
surfaces with tiled, concrete and asphalt floors, for professional use in
industrial, commercial and public places. The machine is only suitable
for use in closed (or at least covered) places. The machine is not
suitable for use in the rain, or under water jets. It is FORBIDDEN to use
the machine for picking up dangerous dusts or inflammable liquids within
places with a potentially explosive atmosphere. In addition, it is not
suitable as a means of transport for people or objects.
