INSTALACIÓN DE LA MÁQUINA
DESEMBALADO DE LA MÁQUINA
Compruebe cuidadosamente si la caja de cartón
muestra daños. En caso de que asísea informe
inmediatamente de los daños al transportista. Controle
el contenido de la caja para asegurarse que incluye
todos los accesorios.
Para desembalar la máquina retire las cintas y eleve
el cabezal de barrido. Para elevar este cabezal pise
firmemente sobre la parte inferior del pedal de
elevación del cepillo hasta que dicho pedal quede
bloqueado en la posición elevada. Levante la máquina
con cuidado o utilice una rampa formada con las
planchas de embalaje para retirar la máquina del
pallet.
ATENCIÓN: No ruede equipo de pallet. Pude
danarse.
INSTALACIÓN DE LA BATERÍA
ADVERTENCIA: Las baterías emiten gases de
hidrógeno que pueden causar explosiones o
incendios. Manténgalas alejadas de chispas y
fuego.
ADVERTENCIA: El ácido de la batería puede
causar quemaduras. Utilice guantes protectores y
protéjase los ojos al revisar las baterías.
Especificaciones de la batería:
Dos baterías de 12 voltios de ciclo de 130 amp por
hora. Pieza de numero 130869. Las dimensiones
máximas de las baterías son 180 mm x 330 mm x 254
mm (ancho x alto x largo)
1. Retire la llave del contacto.
2. Abra con cuidado el depósito de recuperación y
colóquelo lateralmente girándolo sobre la bisagra
para poder acceder al compartimento de la
batería. Extraiga del compartimento el cable
suelto de la batería y el espaciador de PVC de la
batería (Figura 1).
FIG. 1
3. Instale cuidadosamente las baterías en el
compartimento y coloque los bornes de la batería
como se indica (Figura 2).
FIG. 2
ATENCIÓN:: No deje caer las baterías en el
compartimento! Tanto la batería como su soporte
podrían averiarse. La garantía no cubre este tipo
de desperfectos.
4. Para fijar las baterías coloque el tubo espaciador
blanco ”A”de PVC en el compartimento, detrás de
las baterías, como se muestra en la Fig..
5. Conecte los cables a los bornes de la batería en el
orden numérico indicado en la etiqueta (ROJO EN
EL POSITIVO Y NEGRO EN EL NEGATIVO)
(Figura 2).
6. Vuelva a comprobar la conexión de los cables
antes de cerrar el compartimento de la batería.

PREPARACIÓN DE LA MÁQUINA
COMPROBACIONES PREVIAS A LA PUESTA EN
FUNCIONAMIENTO
1. Barra el suelo para eliminar partículas y otros
restos.
2. Controle el nivel de carga de la batería para
asegurarse que de las baterías estén
completamente cargadas en caso necesario
(Consulte CARGA DE LAS BATERÍAS).
3. Controle que están instalados los cepillos o
almohadillas.
4. Controle que estáinstalada la escobilla de goma.
FIJACIÓN DE LA ESCOBILLA DE GOMA
1. Empuje hacia atrás la palanca de elevación de la
escobilla de goma para elevar el soporte de la
escobilla de goma.
2. Afloje los dos tornillos de orejas de la escobilla de
goma e introduzca dicha escobilla deslizándola en
las ranuras de la parte posterior del soporte de la
escobilla de goma (Figura 3). Fije los tornillos de
orejas.
FIG. 3
3. Conecte la manguera de aspiración de la máquina
al conjunto de la escobilla de goma.
INSTALACIÓN DEL IMPULSOR DEL CEPILLO O
DE LA ALMOHADILLA
PARA SU SEGURIDAD: Al abandonar o revisar la
máquina, deténgase en una superficie plana,
apague la máquina.
1. Baje el cabezal del cepillo, pise con fuerza la parte
superior del pedal y empuje dicho pedal hacia
delante (Figura 4).
FIG. 4
2. Coloque el mecanismo de nivelación de la
escobilla de goma de manera que se encuentre
centrado por la parte trasera de la máquina.
3. Levante la máquina sobre la escobilla de goma de
manera que se pueda acceder al cubo del motor
para instalar el impulsor de cepillo/de la
almohadilla.
ATENCIÓN: No mantenga la máquina inclinada
durante mucho tiempo porque podría derramarse
el ácido de la batería. El ácido de la batería puede
causar graves quemaduras al entrar en contacto
con la piel. Las láminas de la escobilla de goma
también pueden deteriorarse si la máquina
permanece en esta posición.
4. Seleccione el cepillo o la escobilla recomendado
que mejor se ajuste a sus necesidades.
NOTA: Consulte a su distribuidor autorizado para la
elección del cepillo o de la almohadilla adecuados
para su caso específico.
5. (Instalación de la almohadilla) Fije la
almohadilla al impulsor de la almohadilla. Sujete la
almohadilla antes de instalar el impulsor de dicha
almohadilla en el cubo del motor. Retire el cierre
central de plástico del impulsor de la almohadilla.
Coloque la almohadilla en el centro del impulsor
de la almohadilla y vuelva a colocar y fijar el cierre
central (Figura 5).
FIG. 5

6. Conecte el impulsor del cepillo o de la almohadilla
al cubo del motor. Alinee los tres pernos de
montaje con las ranuras del cubo del motor. Gire
rápidamente el impulsor hacia el sujetador de
resorte del cubo del motor. Asegúrese de que el
impulsor de la almohadilla estábien sujeto y que
el sujetador de resorte se introduzca en uno de los
pernos del impulsor antes de poner la máquina en
funcionamiento (Figura 6).
FIG. 6
7. Elevación del cabezal de barrido: Pise firmemente
la parte inferior del pedal de elevación del cepillo
hasta que el cepillo quede bloqueado en la
posición elevada (Figura 7).
FIG. 7
LLENADO DEL DEPÓSITO DE LA DISOLUCIÓN
1. Empuje o dirija la máquina a la estación de
llenado. Levante la escobilla de goma y el cepillo
durante el transporte.

encuentra en la parte delantera de la máquina y
llene el depósito de la disolución con 10 galones (38
litros) de agua limpia (temperatura máxima
de140_F/60_C). O utilice el orificio de llenado
trasero para llenar el depósito de la disolución. El
tubo transparente que se encuentra debajo del
orificio de llenado tiene unas marcas cada 5 galones
(19 litros) que indican el volumen de agua del
depósito (Figura 9).
ADVERTENCIA: Los materiales inflamables
pueden provocar explosiones o incendios. No
utilice materiales inflamables en los depósitos.
