Further Performances Of The Machine Featuring An Engine - Genius 1400 DP - E Libretto Uso E Manutenzione

BUTTON 2 (Medium cleaning, carpet or other surfaces)
BUTTON 3 (Heavy duty cleaning, outdoors, asphalt or rough
surfaces with rubble, etc.).
NOTE: the parameters of programmes 1, 2 and 3 are factory set.
To modify any of the settings, contact the retailer's service centre.
Lower the left and/or right side brush by pulling out and lowering
the relevant knob.
NOTE: the relevant left or right indicator light will come on.
To move the brushes back to their OFF position, pull up the
knobs.
The speed of the side brushes can be changed using the
adjustment knob shown in the figure.
The control lever marked 'P' has the following functions:
1- Forward gear
2- Reverse gear
3- Horn
4- Lights on and off
The machine features a red emergency stop button.
Press this button (the red warning light will come on) to bring all
machine functions, engine included, to an immediate stop. To
restart the machine, press the red button down and start up the
functions requested.
If you are using the machine on wet ground, it is essential to
protect the machine's paper filters by turning off the aspirator
motor with the ON/OFF button shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE WHILE THE BIN IS RAISED,
EXCEPT FOR THE MANOEUVRES NEEDED TO MOVE THE
BIN TOWARDS OR AWAY FROM THE WASTE CONTAINER.
Before pushing the machine when it is off or without its batteries,
first turn the key to deactivate the electric traction motor.
English
Turn and possibly remove the red key inside the battery
compartment, as shown in the figure hereby: this operation will
disable the self-braking function of the machine.
FURTHER PERFORMANCES OF THE MACHINE
The version featuring an engine can guarantee the same
working efficiency even when the motor is off, for instance when
the fuel has run out or when working in closed environments.
The working autonomy, in this case, will depend on the capacity
(Amperes/hour) of the batteries installed, on the intensity of the
work programme chosen and on the battery charge status.
To guarantee the working life of the batteries, the machine
features some safety systems:
1- When the battery voltage drops below 20.5 Volt, all machine
functions, with the exception of the traction system, are
automatically stopped. When this situation occurs, recharge the
batteries or turn on the engine.
2- Protection against excessive battery charging
Being fitted with a current generator featuring an electronic circuit,
that acts as voltage regulator, the machine can correctly charge
the battery without damaging it with an excessive charge.
In fact, when the battery has been properly charged, it will except
no further charging energy.
3- Using the machine with a battery or engine
Further to the tests effected and the results obtained from the
evaluation of the energy consumption of our hybrid system, we
can affirm that Genius 1400 DP can work autonomously. In other
words, the machine does not have to be stopped to recharge
the set of batteries (240 Ah). Tests have been made with all
three programmes at the user's disposal, namely P1, P2 and
P3, on asphalted surfaces and normal slopes, and the sweeper
has worked autonomously.
However, being the machine designed also for heavy duty
working conditions (slopes of over 20%, extremely rough
surfaces to clean), the batteries may need to be recharged.
In this case, we recommend the use of an intelligent battery
charge with a IUIa charging curve and a final proportional charge,
appropriately designed for this kind of machine and of a suitable
size for the battery installed.
After you have ended your work, disable the selected
programme (1-2-3) and turn off the engine by flicking the toggle
switch – 'N' of Fig. 3 - to OFF.
Before leaving the machine, make sure that the side brushes
are raised from the floor, the parking brake is engaged and that
the ignition key has been take out of the instrument board.
