IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Parts of the text requiring special attention are printed in
boldandprecededbythesymbolsillustratedanddescribed
below.
! DANGER:
Indicates the need for care in order to avoid
serious consequences that could lead to
the death of personnel, or to situations
representing a possible health and safety
hazard.
! ATTENTION:
Indicates the need for care in order to avoid serious
consequences that could involve harm being done to
the machine or to the workplace, or lead to economic
losses.
! DANGER: If lead-acid (WET) batteries are

and smoking materials away from the batteries.
Explosive gases can escape during normal use,
particularly when recharging the batteries.
! DANGER: If lead-acid (WET) batteries are
installed in the machine, charging the batteries
produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Keep
the seat cowling tilted toward the steering
wheel throughout the battery charging cycle
and carry out this procedure only in well-

HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
Lifting and transporting the palletized
machine
! ATTENTION: during all lifting operations, make sure
WKHSDOOHWL]HGPDFKLQHLV¿UPO\VHFXUHGWRSUHYHQWLW
tipping over or being accidentally dropped.
The machine must be loaded onto/unloaded from
vehicles in areas with adequate lighting.
The machine is packaged on a wooden pallet by the
Manufacturer. It must be loaded on to the transporting
vehicle using suitable equipment (see Directive 2006/42/
EEC and subsequent amendments and/or additions). At
destination, it must be unloaded using similar means.
The palletized body of the machine can be lifted only with
the aid of a fork lift truck. Handle with care to avoid impact
and ensure the machine is not overturned.
Inspection on delivery
When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the
packaging and machine are both whole and undamaged. If
the machine is damaged, make sure the carrier is aware of
the damage and before accepting the goods, reserve the
right (in writing) to request compensation for the damage.
Unpacking
! DANGER: when unpacking the machine, the
operator must wear suitable Personal Protection
Equipment (gloves, eyewear, etc.) to limit the risk of
injury.
When unpacking the machine, proceed as follows:
- Cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors
or nippers;
- Remove the cardboard packaging;
- Removetheside brushes placedinsidethebattery
compartment;
- Remove the bags placed inside the battery
compartment and check the contents: user
manual; quick guide; instructions for setting up
the battery type on the machine; battery bridges
with terminals; 1 x connector for battery charger;
2 x hex wrench;
- Remove the metal brackets securing the front/
rear wheels and the machine chassis to the pallet
base.
- Release the parking brake.
- Remove the brush from its packaging.
- Clean the outside of the machine, taking care to
observe safety regulations.
Once the machine is clear of the packaging, proceed to
install the batteries, referring to the section “Batteries:
installation and connection”.
The various items of packaging can be kept, if so desired,
as these can be reused to protect the machine in the event

correspond to those listed in the section on the “Technical
VSHFL¿FDWLRQV´ of the machine. The use of heavier
batteries could seriously jeopardize manoeuvrability and
lead to the drive motor overheating. Lighter batteries of
lower capacity, on the other hand, will need to be charged
more frequently.
