The machine generates a sound pressure level (noise) in an industrial environment
(warehouse/ shop floor) which is less than below 80 dBA, a vibration on the
operator’s handle <2,5 m/s2, and is therefore absolutely harmless for the operator.
However, in other surroundings, this level may be exceeded in which case the
custoemr must provide appropriate protection (ear defen-ders) as well as notices to
promote their use and periodic hearing examinations.
The cleaning operation must be done with the sweeper on a flat plane surface and
with the parking brake engaged. Avoid aggressive products for cleaning and make
sure wear protecting clothes and glasses.
The demolition of the sweeper must be done dividing the materials that make up the
sweeper itself, pay particular attention to dangerous elements for the environment
such as oils etc.
These elements have to be treated by particular waste disposal plants. The
demolition has to be done observing the national laws which regulate this matter.
