1.1 - INTRODUCTION
This manual has been prepared by the manufacturer and constitutes an integral part of the
vehicle; it must therefore be kept with care and in a safe place easily accessible to all users
(operators and service personnel) for the vehicle’s entire life time up to its demolition.
If the vehicle should be sold, make sure to give this manual, as well as all the enclosed
technical documents, to the new owner.
Copies of this manual and of the documents accompanying the vehicle may be requested
to the manufacturer by specifying the type of vehicle and its serial number.
1.1.a - PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL
The purpose of this manual is to provide all the instructions necessary for the vehicle’s op-
eration, use and maintenance.
By carefully reading the instructions and by scrupulously observing the safety rules contained
herein it is possible to obtain the best possible results in terms of performance, safety, ef-
ficiency, operational management and duration of the vehicle.
Non-observance of such instructions could cause damage or harm to the vehicle, to people
and to the environment which cannot, in any case, be blamed on the manufacturer.
The indications and instructions of this manual are not meant to substitute, integrate or modify
any REGULATION, DIRECTIVE, DECREE or LAW of a general or a specific nature in force
in the country where the machine is to operate regarding safety, use and maintenance of
mechanical, electric, chemical, oil-pressure, pneumatic or other types of devices.
1.1.b - READING THE MANUAL
The manual is subdivided in chapters according to a logical sequence of knowledge and
use of the machine.
To easily search for the topics of interest, first look at the CHAPTER SUMMARY at the
beginning of this manual and then look for the specific information in the summary of the
identified chapter.
1.1.c - LEGEND OF THE SYMBOLS
To emphasize information and procedures regarding safety of use, maintenance, etc... the
following symbols are used throughout the manual:
DANGER:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.

WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
CAUTION:
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous situation, which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.
NOTICE:
Indicates important information relevant to the sweeper, the sweeper’s use or to sec-
tions of this manual to which particular attention must be paid.
REMEMBER:
Descriptions preceded by this symbol contain information, or procedures recommen-
ded by Dulevo for optimum use of the sweeper.
1.1.d - TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE MANUAL
The following terminology has been used in this manual:
The term Machine is used instead of the commercial name to which this manual refers.
The terms front, back, right, left, lower, upper refer to the machine as seen by the operator
sitting on the driver’s seat.
The term OPT (optional) indicates the accessories that may be applied on request and which
are therefore not always present on the machine.

- Use a battery charger appropriate to the battery’s capacity and features.
- Do not move the machine manually and do not start it while the battery is charging.
- Never remove or modify fixed or mobile shielding guards.
If, for any reason, the shields or guards are removed, modified or if the guards
are disabled or in poor condition, they must be restored to their original condition
before restarting the machine.
- Always maintain the safety decals in good, readable condition.
If the decals are missing, damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement
decals immediately.

- Walk around the machine to insure that all components are in good condition and
operational.
- Make sure that no foreign object is on the machine (rags, tools, etc...).
- Make sure all the battery caps are positioned correctly in their seat.
- The machine may only be operated after its good condition has been verified.
1.8.e - DURING USE
- Operate the machine controls from the driver seat only.
- In the event you hear any strange noise or feel unusual vibration, if component or
system is not operating properly, stop the machine immediately.
Look for the cause and, if necessary, inform the Assistance Service.
- Operate very carefully and make sure nobody may touch the brushes while they
are rotating.
- Never try to brush objects that are either too voluminous or that could get entangled
in the machine brushes (such as cables, ropes, chains, etc...) and then be thrown
away.
- In case of use of the machine on an inclined surface, follow the maximum slope
line in order to avoid a rollover of the machine or situations that could compromise

Battery acid
- Do not inhale the vapor: it is toxic.
- Use appropriate individual protection devices to avoid contact with the skin.
- Battery acid is corrosive: rinse with plenty of water in case of contact with battery acid.
- Explosive gas mixtures may form while charging the battery, it is therefore necessary that
the premises where the battery is charged comply with the specific regulations.
- Do not smoke or use open flames within a 2-meter radius of the battery while it is being
charged in the battery-charging area or while it is cooling after having been charged.
1.9 - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
A general mechanical knowledge is not enough to service and repair the machine; a
specific mechanical knowledge is necessary.
Therefore, only properly trained technicians are allowed to execute any service and
repair operation.
- When carrying out cleaning or maintenance operations on the machine, or when
replacing machine parts, turn off the engine, remove the starting key and discon-
nect the battery.
- Wear individual protective equipment and clothes, in compliance with the laws in
force.
- Use only original spare parts.
- Follow the instructions outlined in “chapter 5”.
CAUTION:
To clean and wash the machine, do not use aggressive or acid cleansers and pay
special attention to the electric parts and to the engine.

1.10 - FIRE STANDARDS
WARNING:
An appropriate fire extinguisher must be available close to the machine.
1.10.a - MACHINE FIRE
- Stop the engine.
- Keep strangers away.
- Call the personnel in charge of fire prevention and, if necessary, the Fire Department.
1.11 - SCRAPPING THE MACHINE
The machine is composed of differents parts. Dismantle it and prepare the wastes for dispo-
sal in accordance to their type.
WARNING:
Machine disassembly must be carried out by specialized technicians (mechanics,
electricians, etc...).
For the disposal of noxious substances (such as batteries, etc...), please comply with all
applicable rules and regulations.
NOTICE:
Any irregularity committed by the customer before, during or after scrapping and dis-
posal of the machine components, or in the interpretation and application of current
regulations, is his own exclusive responsibility.
Adequate waste disposal of equipment no longer being used and the consequent recycling,
treatment and environment compatible disposal avoids possible negative effects on the
environment and on health, and favors reutilization and/or recycling of the materials making
up the equipment.
Abusive product disposal by the user results in the financial penalties contemplated by
current regulations.
