3. SAFETY INFORMATIONS

3.1 BASIC 

RECOMMENDATIONS

☞

 Carefully read the “instruction manual” 

before starting, using, performing unsched-

uled or routine maintenance or any other 

work on the machine.



Rigorously comply with all the instruc-

tions provided in this manual and in those 

for the batteries and battery chargers (with 

particular attention to warnings and danger 

notices).

The manufacturer will not be held respon-

sible for injuries to persons or damage to 

property due to non-compliance with the 

aforementioned instructions.

☞

 Before using the machine, make sure that each 

part is in the correct position. 



The machine can only be used by personnel 

who have received appropriate training, who have 

proven their skills and who have been expressly 

assigned to use it. To avoid unauthorised use, keep 

the machine in a place that denies access to unau-

thorised personnel when not being used, engage 

the parking brake and remove the key from the 

control panel.



 Minors are prohibited from using the machine. 



 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 current 

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 b 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 10%; 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 slopes, be very 

careful to avoid tipping and/or uncontrolled accel-

erations. Use only the lowest speed! The machine 

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 discon-

necting 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 

serious 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.

☞

 Recovered fluids contain detergents, disinfect-

ants, water, as well as organic and inorganic mate-

rial collected during work operations: dispose of 

them in accordance with current legal provisions.



 If the machine malfunctions and/or operates 

inefficiently, turn it off immediately (disconnecting 

it from the electric power supply or from the bat-
