ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE18 33015124(3)2008-02 RS 1300USEWARNING!On some points of the machine there are some adhesive plates indicating:DANGERWARNINGCAUTIONCONSULTATION−−−−While reading this Manual, the operator must pay particular attention to the symbols shown.Do not cover these plates for any reason and immediately replace them if they are damaged.GENERAL CAUTIONSThis machine is designed as a high performance, high capacity sweeper that can clean in tight and congested areas.By design this means a narrow wheel base with tight steering capability.These design requirements can under certain conditions create instability during machine operation.Instability can be caused by a combination of machine travel speed, abrupt maneuvering, operation on an incline, low tire pressure,weight in the hopper and or raised hopper.For this reason the machine must be driven by a qualifi ed operator who must be properly instructed on how to use it and be awareof the potential risks.The following are situations known to cause instability in the machine and care should be taken by the operator to assure safeoperation:Lifting the hopper on an inclineManeuvering the machine with the hopper liftedAbrupt steeringManeuvering with speed, on a slope and/or with weight in the hopperLow tire pressureInside the cab there is a decal (19, Fig. E) that warns the operator of the risk of instability and provides information on activities toavoid to prevent machine instability (see picture).BEFORE START-UPIf necessary, open the right upper lid (28, Fig. G) by releasing the fasteners (29) with the supplied key, and refuel the machinethrough the fi ller neck (10, Fig. F).CAUTION!Do not fi ll the fuel tank to the top, but leave at least 1.6 in (4 cm) from the filler neck to allow the fuel to expand.Check the dust control system water level through the indicator (42, Fig. F). If necessary, supply water according to thefollowing procedure:Disengage the fasteners (10, Fig. G) with the supplied key, then open the left lid (9).Pour the water in the tanks through the plug (30, Fig. F), or the hose (29).Close the plug (30), or roll up the hose (29) and place it back in its housing.Close the lid (9, Fig. G) and secure it with the fasteners (10) by using the supplied key.Check that there are no open lids/hoods and that the machine is in normal operating conditions.–––––1.2.••••3.
