STARTING OF THE MACHINE
A safety device avoids the machine’s movement if the operator is not
seated correctly on the guiding place.
To switch on the machine:
1.
Sit on the guiding place.
2.
Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on the machine.
3.
Check the charge level of the batteries on the display (1).
4.
With the selector (12) in central position (BREAK WASHING) the
transfer operations of the machine are carried out (see under
paragraph “FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT").
5.
Moving the selector (12) onto the left, the automatic (AUTO)
functioning is chosen. Moving it instead onto the right, the
functioning of the machine becomes manual (MAN):
a.
If the selector (12) is in position (AUTO) the machine activates
and deactivates all the working functions in an automatic mode
(see under paragraph “WORKING IN AUTOMATIC MODE”).
b.
If the selector (12) is in position (MAN) every function of the
machine has to be activated or deactivated manually (see under
paragraph “WORKING IN MANUAL MODE”).
FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT
It is recommendable to carry out always the mere transfer of the
machine in mode (BREAK WASHING).
To proceed to activate the movement of the machine:
1.
Sit on the guiding place.
2.
Turn the key switch (5) clockwise to switch on the machine.
3.
Check the charge level of the batteries on the display (1).
4.
Release the parking brake. If the brake was inserted, the signal
lamp (17) would be switched on (see under paragraph
"EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE”).
5.
Bring the selector (12) in central position (BREAK WASHING) to
carry out the mere transfer of the machine. In fact, in this mode
the washing functions of the machine are not working and only
the traction system functions.
6.
Select the driving sense with the selector (8).
7.
Press onto the accelerator pedal placed on the right side to start
the machine.
8.
Adjust the driving speed in forward choosing the slow one (at the
maximum you can reach 4,5km/h - 2,8mph) or, pressing the same
selector (9) upwards, the faster one (at the maximum you can
reach 7 km/h - 4,35mph) can be obtained.
9.
In backward movement, when the machine is moving, an
intermittent warning device is activated.
The machine is equipped with an automatic system that reduces the
speed when the drive direction is changed. The speed reduction is as
higher as sharper is the curve.
The speed returns again normally as soon as the machine gets out from
the curve and it runs along straight paths.
HORN
The machine is equipped with a horn which is activated pressing the
push button (6).
WORKING BRAKE
The machine is equipped with a hydraulic braking system that acts on
the rear wheels.
To brake it is sufficient to press the pedal placed at the left side of the
steering column releasing instead the accelerator pedal.
EMERGENCY-PARKING BRAKE
In case of an emergency pull the lever of the emergency and parking
brake (1) placed on the left side of the seat.
On the instrument board the signal lamp (17) comes on which signals
that the parking brake is inserted.
To release the parking brake press the button (2) placed at the final part
of the brake lever (1) and simultaneously lower it to the end.
