On consignment of the machine
When the machine is consigned to the customer, an immediate check to
ensure that all the material mentioned in the shipping documents has
been received, that the machine has not suffered damage during
transportation should be performed. 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 any
compensation for damage can be successfully claimed.
Introduction
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 customer 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.

4. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL (FS50 B-BT VERSION)
For maintenance and recharging, comply with the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are
different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
Proceed as follows when the battery is dead:
1. Raise the covering hood
2. Disconnect the battery connector
3. Remove the battery by using suitable devices, lifting it with the provided handles.
4.
EXHAUSTED BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS WASTE AND MUST BE CONSIGNED
TO THE AUTHORISED BODIES FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL.
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands
ATTENTION: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting
and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size

MACHINE PREPARATION
5.BATTERY FITTING (FS50 B-BT VERSION)
The machine can be supplied with batteries included.
If using a battery other than those supplied with the machine, check that the size is suitable for the
battery compartment
Perform a battery charging cycle before using the machine.
The batteries must be housed in the appropriate compartment beneath the recovery tank, and must
satisfy the requisites of Standard CEI 21-5.

must be inserted.
7.BATTERY RECHARGING(FS50 B-BT VERSION)
In order not to cause permanent damage to the batteries it is essential to avoid their complete discharge:
arrange the recharge within a few minutes of the switching on of the flashing "discharged batteries"
signal.
ATTENTION: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the
machine is not being used. Check the battery charger is suitable for the
batteries installed, in terms of both capacity and type.

combustion engine, it is very important to take a few moments to read the
motor's user manual that came with the machine before turning the motor on
10. INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENTS(FS50 B-BT VERSION)
The instrument panel components are identified as follows:
1. Closure of suction/activation of electric filter shaker (optional for battery version) (a): determines the
closure of the fan's suction duct@ through the movement of a hatch, which on contact with the stop
activates the electric filter shaker.
2. Filter shaker/blocking lever (b): manual control to shake the dust from the filter and to lock its
supporting bracket during maintenance.
3. Side brush lever (c): pulling the lever toward you determines the lifting of the side brush. To lower it,
simply release the lever by pushing it upward
4. main switch of the machine (d)

WORK
1. PREPARING TO WORK (FS50 B-BT VERSION)
1. Check that the main switch of the machine is set to "0"
2. Open the hood of the machine
3. Connect the battery connector (2) to the electric system connector (1)
4. Lower the hood
5. Make sure the debris hopper is positioned and latched properly
6. Turn the main switch of the machine in position "1"
ATTENTION: before using the machine, the operators must be suitable trained.
We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully and read it again
whenever difficulties arise while using the machine
2. PREPARING TO WORK(FS50 H-HT VERSION)
WARNING: Before starting the engine, carefully carry out the checks listed in
the user manual of the Honda GX100 engine supplied with the machine
WARNING: In terms of optimizing the use of the machine, an engine speed
has already been selected
ATTENTION: before using the machine, the operators must be suitable
trained. We therefore suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully and
read it again whenever difficulties arise while using the machine
3. WORK
The operator operates the machine from the ground standing behind the machine and holding the
handlebar
The forward drive for the FS50 B and FS50 H versions is given by the operator, while for the FS50 BT
and FS50 HT versions the drive is activated by pressing the lever on the handlebar.
Once the machine is running the main brush will begin to turn, from this moment on you are ready to
work.
ATTENTION: if the machine is used in places where there is a risk of falling
objects, the operator must be provided with all the appropriate protection devices
as laid out in the legal requirements
In the presence of bulky waste, to allow access to the main brush that picks them up, the machine must
be raised more by pressing on the handlebars.

13
WORK
For suction efficiency, clean the filter approx. every 10 min. Proceed as follows:
•close the suction (lever a);
•activate the manual filter shaker repeatedly (lever b);
•for the version with electric filter shaker, pull the lever (a) for a few seconds at the end of run
•reopen suction and start work again.
Close the suction (lever a.) when working on wet or damp surfaces (for the version with electric filter
shaker, pull the lever without activating the motor itself).
Periodically check the filling of the tray by pulling it out of the machine after having released the hooks,
and if necessary empty it. Bear in mind that the weight of the dirt collected is proportional to the specific
weight of the material brushed up.
ATTENTION: These operations must be carried out using gloves to protect the
hands.
ATTENTION: Beware of the possible combinations of hazardous dusts that
could trigger an explosion or fire.
ATTENTION: Be careful to follow the regulations regarding the disposal of
hazardous dusts.
4. SIDE BRUSH
Use the side brush in a limited manner on the edges, as it is not assisted by the suction.
To use the side brush, simply release the lever (c) from its housing and push it upward.
To raise the side brush, simply push the lever (c) downwards and insert it into the idle position.
