RUNNER 18
4/3 – OPERATION AND USE
A) SWITCHING ON:
The key on the dashboard inhibits machine operation; it is good practice to turn it off when the
machine is not being used.
It is obligatory to remove the key when the machine is parked in a place open to visitors
(for example supermarkets)
In position 1 the key powers the electric circuit and automatically activates the tower light.
B) CIRCULAR INDICATOR INSTRUMENT:
The instrument is provided with 2 indicators.
b1 – The upper one shows the battery charge status by means of 10 red LEDs which light up one at a
time: when the last LED to the right lights up, it means the battery is charged by 100%; when the fifth
LED lights up it means the battery charge is 50%, in other words, progressive lighting up of the LEDs
from right to left indicates progressive discharge of the batteries while the vehicle is being used .
b2 - The lower indicator shows the number of machine operating hours.
C) OPERATING LEVER:
It has 3 positions: the vertical position indicates idle condition; pushing the lever forwards will cause the
vehicle to move forwards, and the machine can be reversed by pushing the lever backwards.
D) 2-position SQUEEGEE SWITCH:
In the Up position, the lifting of the squeegee is enabled and in the down position the squeegee is
lowered and the suction is activated.
E) BRUSHES SWITCH
It has 3 positions. In the central position, the brushes are lifted. In the up position, the brushes are
brought in contact with the ground with a predefined load. In the down position, the pressure of the
brushes on the ground is increased, by a predefined quantity.
F) SOLUTION FLOW SWITCH
It has 3 positions: in the up position ( I ), solution is let out through a cock provided for the purpose
(Q) regulating the flow from 0 to 4 litres/min; in the down position ( II ), the solution flow is regulated
from 4 to 8 litres per minute.
The solution however only flows out when the accelerator is used.
.
G) BRUSHES DISCONNECT PUSHBUTTON
If the pushbutton is pressed, after the brushes are raised from the ground by means of switch (E),
the brushes are disconnected.
.G)GG To connect the brushes, stand in front of the drive pulley, then move the machine so that the central hole
on the brush is lined up with the centre of the pulley, then lift the brush manually and lock it on the head
by turning it through approx. 20°. Then lower the head to the ground by means of switch (E ).
H) HORN PUSHBUTTON
I ) DRIVING WHEEL
L) ACCELERATOR PEDAL
M) SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL
The mechanical drum brake acts on the rear wheels.
There are other ways for braking the machine:
- Braking by release: releasing the accelerator will cause the traction motor to brake the machine
until it comes to a stop
- Reverse current braking (reversal)
On reversing, the traction motor will stop the vehicle more energetically.
