recharging.
N.B.: pick up any large pieces of waste before performing the cleaning operations; pick up wire, tape, string,
large pieces of wood, or any other types of refuse that could wrap around the brushes or become entangled.
N.B.: drive the machine along the most linear path possible. Avoid hitting any obstacles and scratching the
sides of the machine. Overlap the working widths by several centimetres. To avoid damage to carpet floors,
do not turn the steering wheel from one side to the other while the machine is stationary.
N.B.: avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply while the machine is moving, as the machine reacts
quickly to steering wheel movements. Avoid swerving suddenly, unless there is an emergency.
N.B.: adjust the machine speed and brush pressure as necessary for the job in hand. Use the appropriate
brush pressure settings for the areas being cleaned.
N.B.: remember only the central brush has a dust vacuum system; the side brushes can only channel dirt
towards the central part of the machine.
N.B.: if the results are not satisfactory, stop and refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
section of this manual. See
N.B.: in the left part of the footboard, there is a brake pedal (16) (Fig.8) which can be used to stop the
machine when required.
N.B.: when the brake pedal (16) is pressed, the red rear lights become brighter to indicate that the service
brake pedal has been pressed.
N.B.: if the accelerator pedal (12) is released while moving, the machine electronics start to slow down with a
gentle deceleration ramp. The electric brake is automatically engaged only when the machine stops
completely.
N.B.: the machine is fitted with a mechanical pedal brake in addition to the machine electronics that handle
the braking process. The mechanical braking action depends on the degree of force applied to the pedal
(16).
N.B.: Drive the machine slowly on inclines and descents. Use the brake pedal to control the machine speed.
Where there is a slop, carry out the scrubbing by moving the machine upwards rather than downwards.
ATTENTION: when using the machine, slow down on slippery or sloping surfaces.
ATTENTION: the steering wheel must be turned fully to the right or left if the machine is stopped on a slope.
ATTENTION: slow down on ramps and slippery surfaces.
ATTENTION: do not use the machine in areas where the ambient temperature is higher than 43°C (110°F).
Do not use the scrubbing functions in areas where the ambient temperature is less than freezing 0°C (32°F).
ATTENTION: in transport mode, the machine can only be moved on ramps up to 14% (8°) if the debris
hopper is full; in sweeping mode, with GVW, it can work on slopes up to 12.5% (7°). For all other technical
data, contact the HILLYARD service centre of reference or the one closest to you.
N.B.: after using the machine, follow the daily maintenance procedures. See
