3. SAFETY INFORMATIONS
3.1
BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS
☞ Carefully read the "instruction manual" be-
fore starting, using, performing unscheduled
or routine maintenance or any other work on
the machine.
• Rigorously comply with all the instructions
provided in this manual and in those for the
batteries and battery chargers (with particu-
lar attention to warnings and danger notices).
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for
injuries to persons or damage to property due
to non-compliance with the aforementioned in-
structions.
• This machine must be powered only with the
safety extra-low voltage indicated on the techni-
cal data plate.
• Before using the machine, make sure that each
part is in the correct position.
• The appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Do not operate this machine for any other pur-
pose except for the use for which it was specifically
designed. Evaluate the type of building where it
will be utilised and rigorously comply with the cur-
rent safety regulations and conditions.
• Do not use the machine in places without ad-
equate lighting, in explosive environments, when
harmful dirt is present (dust, gas, etc.), on roads or
public passage ways and in outdoor environments
in general.
• The machine operating temperature range is
+4°C to + 35°C; when not being used, store the
machine in a dry and non-corrosive environment
within a temperature range of between + 10°C and
+ 50°C.
When using the machine under any condition the
humidity must range between 30% and 95%.
• Never use or vacuum liquids, gases, dry
dust, acids and solvents (e.g. paint thinners,
acetone, etc.), even if diluted, inflammables
or explosives (e.g. petrol, fuel oil, etc.); never
vacuum flaming or incandescent objects.
• Do not use the machine on slopes or ramps
steeper than 2%; for small slopes, do not use the
machine sideways, always handle it with caution
and never move backwards. When transporting
the machine on steeper ramps or slope 10%, be
very careful to avoid tipping and/or uncontrolled
accelerations. Use only the lowest speed! The ma-
chine can be handled on ramps and/or steps only
with the brush head and squeegee lifted off the
ground.
• Never park the machine on a slope.
☞ The machine should never be left unattended
with the motors running; it can be left unattended
only after turning off the motors, ensuring that it
won't make any accidental movements and dis-
connecting it from the electric power supply.
• Make sure there are no other persons, and chil-
dren in particular, in the area where the machine
is being used.
• Do not use the machine to transport persons/
things or to tow objects. Do not tow the machine.
☞ Do not use the machine as a support surface for
any weight for any reason.
Do not block the ventilation and heat dispersion
openings.
• Do not remove, modify or by-pass the safety
devices.
• Always use individual safety devices to ensure
operator safety: aprons or safety overalls, non-slip
and waterproof shoes, rubber gloves, goggles and
earphones, and masks to protect the respiratory
tract. Before starting to work, remove necklaces,
watches, ties and other objects that may cause se-
rious injuries.
• Do not insert hands between moving parts.
☞ Do not use detergents that differ from those
required and follow the instructions indicated on
the relative safety sheets. Detergents should be
stored in a place that is inaccessible to children. In
case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately
with copious amounts of water and, if swallowed,
immediately consult a physician.
Make sure that the battery charger power sockets
are connected to an efficient earthing system and
that they are protected by magnetothermal and
differential circuit-breakers.
• If you are going to equip the machine with dry
(gel) batteries, be sure the battery power indicator
on the control panel, has been set properly. Check
this procedure with your dealer.
• Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions
and comply with legal provisions. The batteries
should always be clean and dry to avoid surface
leakage currents. Protect the batteries against im-
purities, such as metallic dust.
• Do not place tools on top of the batteries: they
may cause a short-circuit or an explosion.
• When using battery acid, rigorously respect the
relative safety instructions. In the presence of par-
ticularly strong magnetic fields, evaluate the pos-
sible effect on electronic control devices.
Never spray water on the machine to clean it.
