Kruger KF50E, Manual

18

 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 12%; 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. 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.

 Never leave the machine unattended connected;

it may be left only after having disconnected it from the

electrical power supply.

 Make sure there are no other persons, and children

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 power sockets are connected to an

efficient earthing system and that they are protected

by magnetothermal and differential circuit-breakers.

Never spray water on the machine to clean it.

 Recovered fluids contain detergents, disinfectants,

water, as well as organic and inorganic material 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) and do not tamper with it.

Contact one of the manufacturer’s technical service

centres.

 All maintenance or accessory replacement operations

must be carried out in environments with adequate

lighting and only after having disconnected the machine

from the electric power supply.

 All work on the electrical system and all maintenance

and repair operations (especially those not explicitly

described in this manual) should be carried out only by

authorised service centres or by specialised technical

personnel who are experts in the sector and in the

pertinent safety regulations.

  The  machine  owner  can  only  use  original

accessories and spare parts supplied exclusively by

the manufacturer since such parts are the only ones

that guarantee that the equipment will operate safely

without any problems. Do not use parts disassembled

from other machines or other kits as spare parts.

To dispose of the machine, comply with the current

laws where it is used:

- disconnect the machine from the mains and clean it

after emptying any liquids;

- separate the machine into groups of homogeneous

materials (plastics in accordance with the recycling

symbol, metals, rubber, packing). For parts containing

different materials, contact the competent authorities;

Each homogeneous group must be disposed of in

accordance with recycling laws.

In addition, it is recommended to eliminate those parts

of the machine that may be dangerous, especially for

children.

 Before each use, check the machine.

 If foam or liquid is noted, immediately turn off the

suction motor. (PHOTO C-18)

 Do not use the machine on textile flooring, such

as rugs, carpeting, etc.

Wax, foaming detergents or dispersions along the hoses

may cause serious problems for the machine or clog

the hoses.

3.2 NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

The machine is designed for indoor use and therefore

is not subject to the reference directives.

4. HANDLING INFORMATION

4.1 PACKING LIFTING AND TRANSPORT

 During all lifting or transport operations, make sure

that the packed machine is securely anchored to prevent

it from tipping over or falling accidentally.

Transport vehicle loading and unloading operations

must be carried out with adequate lighting.

The packed machine must be handled using adequate

devices, making sure not to damage/strike any part of

the packing, not to tip it over and to be very careful

when placing it on the ground.

4.2 CHECKS UPON DELIVERY

 When the goods are delivered by the transporter,

carefully check the condition of the packing and its

contents. If the contents have been damaged, notify

the transporter and reserve the right, in writing (select

the word “reserve” on the document), to submit a claim

for compensation before accepting the goods.

4.3 UNPACKING

  Wear safety clothing and use adequate tools to

limit the risks of accidents.

Carry out the following steps if the machine is packed

with a cardboard housing:

- Use scissors or clippers to cut and eliminate the plastic

straps.

- Slip off the cardboard housing from the top of the
