MACHINE AND CONTROL PANEL
COMPONENTS:
The machine is equipped with a simple panel control that
controls all the operational functions of the machine.
A) On-Off main switch of the machine
B) Led indicator for battery charge
C) Display switch
D) On-Off sweeping mode switches 1 and 2
E) Manual operating switch of the filter shaker
F) Vacuum fan switch
G) Numeric display
The functions located on the control panel can be
explained as follows:
A) Main switch to turn on and off the machine.
B) Led indicator for battery charge. Green for when the
machine is charged, red for when the machine is
discharged and yellow for when the machine charge is in
reserve or when the machine is being charged.
C) Numeric display switch: pressing this switch, a part
from seeing the machine voltage, the display indicates
the working hours of the machine (pressing the switch
once) and minutes (pressing the switch twice).
D) On-Off sweeping mode switches 1 and 2: these two
switches allow the machine to work with two separate
sweeping mode: mode 1 for light debris collection and
mode 2 for heavy debris collection.
E) Manual operating switch of the filter shaker gives the
possibility in shaking the filter at any time during work.
This is to be intended as an addition to the automatic
filter shaking that cycles every 3 minutes.
F) Vacuum fan: the vacuum fan automatically activates
when sweeping mode is on. Therefore the switch is used
when the requirements are to switch off the vacuum fan
during sweeping mode.
G) Numeric display

USE OF THE ON-BOARD BATTERY
CHARGER:
When the battery on the machine is discharged, the red
led on the control panel illuminates and all functions of
the machine will automatically stop: the operator must
then turn off the machine and start the charging proce-
dure by connecting the machine battery charger plug into
an AC electrical outlet. (during charging the yellow led on
the display will be lit): when the machine is fully charged
the green led will be lit, the battery charger plug can be
disconnected and the machine is ready for operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: USING THE MACHINE BEFORE
THE BATTERY HAS FULLY CHARGED AND A
GREEN LIGHT DISPLAYED WILL REDUCE THE LIFE
AND RUN TIME OF YOUR BATTERY AND VOID THE
WARRANTY. The on-board charger is specifically
designed for Sealed batteries.
NOTE: If during working mode the machine battery
charger plug is connected, the machine will automatically
stop all its functions. Such operation is forbidden.
STARTING OF THE MACHINE:
ATTENTION: the machine must be used only by
authorized personal, DO NOT ABANDON the machine
when switched on, do not use the machine for collecting
liquid, turn the machine OFF before leaving the machine.
FOR SAFETY: DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNLESS
OPERATION MANUAL IS READ AND UNDERSTOOD
To start the machine use the following procedures:
- Press the main ON/OFF button
- Check the that the green led is lit indicating a proper
battery charge level
- Select the appropriate sweeping mode
ON/OFF sweeping mode button 1 - for light debris and
smooth surfaces
ON/OFF sweeping mode button 2 - for heavy debris and
concrete, asphalt and carpeted surfaces. Notes: using
sweeping mode 2 will reduce the maximum machine run
time.
OPERATIONS TO MAKE FOR CORRECT
USE:
After having followed all operations for starting the
machine you are now ready to work with the machine as
a sweeper. To achieve the maximum performance follow
the proceedures in this manual to avoid the risk of
damaging the machine.
It is important:
- Not to use the machine for collecting wires, ropes,
strings, water or other liquids .
- In the presence of large volume debris (paper, leaves,
etc.) raise the front part of the machine by pushing down
the handle bar. Shake the filter at the end of the working

session.
ATTENTION: This machine is not intended for wet
surface sweeping. However, if you encounter a
slightly damp environment (moisture buildup on the
floor), it is required that you turn the vacuum fan
switch off to prevent filter damage. Machine damage
due to wet debris pickup is not covered under
warranty.
ATTENTION: If the sweeper is lying inactive for a
period longer then one month you must disconnect
the red and black battery clips.
If the sweeper is lying inactive for a period longer
then one week you should leave it connected to the
electrical outlet.
WASTE HOPPER EMPTYING AND
CLEANING:
Before proceeding in removing the hopper assure that
the machine is turned off.
ATTENTION: WASTE DISPOSAL MUST BE DONE BY
FOLLOWING THE LAWS IN FORCE.

- Release the hopper clamp by lifting and then pushing
on the back of the clamp.
- Pull out the hopper by its handle
-Empty the hopper
To put back the hopper proceed as follows:
- Slide the hopper back into place
- Lower and press the hopper clamp to lock into place.
Note: It is recommended to clean the pre-filter daily. See
cleaning and servicing the filter-page 7.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE:
All service performed should be completed by persons
who understand the machine or an AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER. It is recommended that only
authorized repair parts be used for service.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing the machine
disconnect the battery connection and battery
charger plug before working on the machine

the ground and the main brush is easily reached.
- Manually turn the brush until a black button is seen on
the right hand side of the brush core.
- Press the button and push to dis-engage the brush.

CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FILTERS:
The filters are very important components of the machine
and essential for correct operation. Proper filter maintenance
will allow you to obtain the best performance from your
machine.
Pre-Filter
Clean Daily
1) Remove the debris hopper to access the pre-filter
2) Release the two metal retaining clip arms that secure
the pre-filter in place. Hinge the retaining clip arms
outward and remove the pre-filter.
3) Shake the pre-filter into a debris receptacle.
4) Replace the pre-filter and secure with retainer clips.
Main Filter
The Main filter can be cleaned in any of the following three
ways:
1) by means of the automatic filter shaker:
During operation, the machine will automatically activate
the filter shaker every 3 minutes.
2) by means of manually activating the filter shaker:
Just a simple command is needed to keep the filter in perfect
working order: press the button marked ‘E’ and hold it down
for a few seconds. Repeat this operation 4 or 5 times.
Remember that the cleaner the filter, the better the results
of your cleaning session. It is recommended to carry this
good idea to use the manual filter shaker more frequently.
3) by manually cleaning the filter:
Manually clean the filter when the filter shaker is not enough
to keep the filter clean and/or every 20 hours of work. Before
carrying out any kind of procedure on the machine, make
sure it is turned off and that all functions are deactivated
1) Remove the rear hopper
2) Take the filter out
3) Blow compressed air into the side of the filter (at a
pressure of 87 psi at the most). Safety glasses required
4) Reinstall the filters and the rear hopper.
ACTUATOR FUNCTION:
The system allows the brush to immediately and constantly
follow all types of surfaces, self adjust to surfaces and self
adjust for main/side brush wear through out the life of the
brushes
ADJUSTING THE SIDE BRUSH :
To adjust the side brush, remove the top cover, and turn
adjusting handle in the direction required.
