3.3.12 Traction Encoder
The Encoder is located inside the traction motor and transfers information on the speed of the machine to the
Main card.
3.3.13 Electrobrake
The Electrobrake (see section 3.3 at page 27) is assembled on the traction motor. With the machine off it is always
activated, is unlocked only when the machine is running and pedal pressed. It can be unlocked manually.
3.3.14 Traction Pedal
The traction pedal (see section 3.3 at page 27) contains an activation microswitch and a non-adjustable electronic
potentiometer. With the pedal pressed and micro-closed, traction is enabled.
3.3.15 Battery charger (Optional)
The machine is available with the optional battery charger (see section 3.3 at page 27). To access to the battery
charger and the battery compartment is sufficient to lift the recovery tank. On the batteries is present a bridge
cable with general protection fuse 80 Ampere.
Once the recovery tank is placed on the gas spring, the charger allows a quick connection of the power cord.
3.3.16 Rear Camera (Plus)
The rear view camera (see section 3.3 at page 27) positioned on the hose support allows to move the machine in
reverse avoiding the operator to twist the back and neck.
3.3.17 Reverse sensor (Plus)
The reverse sensor (see section 3.3 at page 27) positioned at the center of the rear bumper emits an intermittent
acoustic signal that speeds up close to an obstacle.
3.3.18 Microswitches
The machine is provided with a series of microswitches to enable/disable certain functions or to send signals to
the traction card. In particular:
Max pressure Micro (see section 3.3 at page 27). The micro is mounted on a plate integral with the base of
the brushdeck. In case the motors have a too low absorption, it avoids that the deck actuator continues
to push. If the rod goes over its limit, the micro opens and stops the actuator.
Curve speed reduction Microswitch (see section 3.3 at page 27). It is positioned below the platform. After
a predetermined angle of rotation of the steering, the microswitch opens and the curve speed reduction
function is activated. The percentage of the speed reduction is an adjustable parameter.
Electrobrake Microswitch (see section 3.3 at page 27). The micro is assembled externally to the traction
motor, and can be disabled by a lever. If enabled, when the machine is switched OFF the traction is
inhibited, when the machine is ON the traction is enabled. If disabled, when the machine is switched
OFF the machine is not braked, when the machine is ON the traction is inhibited and the display gives
an alarm.
