WORK
MACHINE START-UP, VERSIONS 80B-90B
Comac sweeping machines should only be used by trained, authorised operators,
and only when the machine itself is in perfect working order. Faulty sweeping
machines must be taken out of service immediately.
Before carrying out any type of work:
1. check the parking brake is disengaged
2. turn the key to position I (clockwise)
3. check the battery charge is sufficient for carrying out the planned work
ATTENTION
: To avoid any permanent damage to the batteries,
it is essential to avoid their total run-down. When the run-down
buzzer sounds, the machine must be switched off (maintaining
just the forwards function so it can reach the recharge point).
4. Open the hatch of the debris hopper (green indicator light ON).
5. On the side instrument panel, activate the lever to lower the central brush,
and the lever for the side brush (only for cleaning near pavements, walls, etc.).
6. Activate the suction (left-hand lever).
7. Press the pedal command to move, and adjust the machine speed according
to the quantity of dust and dirt on the floor.
8. If you need to transfer the machine to another area, you are advised not to
use the brushes (raise them).
ATTENTION
: the machine is fitted with a micro-switch under the
seat to indicate the presence of an operator on board; this switch
stops the machine moving if the operator is not correctly seated.
INITIAL START-UP AND USE OF THE MACHINE, VERSIONS 80D – 90D
Move the accelerator lever until it is in the minimum position.
Start the motor by means of the start-up key, bringing it to the heating position (I).
Wait about 6 seconds, until the glowplug indicator light (11) switches off.
When the indicator light is OFF, turn the key to the start position.
When the motor switches on, release the key.
After an initial heating phase (see “after motor start-up“), bring the motor to a speed
of about 2000rpm, using the accelerator lever.
The machine is now ready to work.
Observe the warnings given in the Use and Maintenance booklet of the motor
for start-up operations (motor start-up).
MACHINE DIRECTION
The choice of direction when using the machine does not involve any switches or
levers, but is implemented via the pedal command: pressing the right-hand pedal the
machine moves forwards, while the left-hand pedal enables reverse movements.
