For your own safety!

General notes

Reading and observing prior to
use of the machine is essential!

— Notify your sales outlet if during

unpacking you detect damage
that has occurred in transit.

! Read the operating instructions

of your machine prior to its initial
operation and especially observe
the safety notes.

— The warning and information

labels attached to the machine
provide important information on
its safe operation.

— In addition to the instructions in

the operating instructions,
general safety- and accident
prevention-regulations from
lawgivers must be followed.

Use

! The machine is to be used

exclusively according to the
specifications given in these
operating instructions.

! Prior to its use the machine and

its attachments must be checked

operational reliability. It must not
be used if its condition is not
faultless.

— No modifications permitted on the

machine.

— The machine is for sweeping

outdoor surfaces.

— Never absorb explosive liquids,

inflammable gases or undiluted
acids and solvents! These
include petrol, paint thinner or
fuel oil, which can develop
explosive vapours or mixtures
due to the turbulance of the
suction air, and also acetone,
undiluted acids and solvents,
since these attack the materials
used in the manufacture of the
machine.

— Do not sweep up/absorb burning

or smouldering objects.

Only if clearly identified as such
is this machine suitable for
suction removal of health
hazardous dusts.

Observe the safety-related notes
given in the operating instructions.

— Suitable only for the surfaces

listed in the operating
instructions.

— The appliance may be used on

only the areas cleared for its use
by the factory owner or a person
authorized by him.

— Keep clear of the danger area. Its

operation in explosion hazardous
locations is prohibited.

— The following applies generally:

Keep combustible materials away
from the machine (danger of
explosions-/fire).

Operation

— The rules, regulations and

stipulations applying to motor
vehicles must always be
observed.

— The operator must use the

machine for its agreed proper
purpose. When driving it he must

use it.

— It is forbidden for children or

juveniles to operate the machine.

! The ignition key must be

removed from machines provided
with it in order to prevent
unauthorised use of the machine.

! The machine must never be left

unsupervised while the motor is
running. The operator is not
allowed to leave the machine
unless the engine has been
turned off, the machine is
secured against unintended
movements, the parking brake, if
provided, is actuated, and the
ignition key has been removed.

to the side and in the direction of
motion must not exceed the
value given in the operating
instructions.

Transport

when the machine is transported.

! Secure the machine with guy

belts, ropes or chains.

! Immobilise the machine at the

wheels with chocks.

provided with one, remove the
ignition key prior to cleaning it
and performing maintenance
work on it or when resetting it to
a different operation.

! The battery plug connection or

the battery must be disconnected
for work on the electrical
installation of battery-powered
machines.

— Only accessories and spare parts

cleared by the manufacturer may
be used. Genuine accessories
and spare parts ensure that the
machine can be operated safely
and trouble-free.

Ride-on machine

— Ride-on machines are not

approved for public road traffic.
Please ask your retailer for the
conversion kit for street­worthiness.

— Giving companions lifts is not

permissible.

— Ride-on machines may be set in

motion only from the seat.

Machines with a combustion
engine

! The exhaust opening must not be

sealed.

! Do not bend over or touch the

exhaust opening (danger of
burns).

! Do not touch or grasp the drive

motor (danger of burns).

! Adequate ventilation and

extraction of exhaust emissions
must be provided when operating
the machine indoors. (Danger of
poisoning)

! Exhaust gases are toxic and

damaging to health; do not inhale
them.

! The engine takes approx. 3...4 s

to run down after being shut off.
Never enter operating area
during this period!

22

Operating instructions KM 100/100 R D English

The following must be observed
when refuelling machines with a
combustion engine:
! Only the fuel specified in the

operating instructions may be
used. An explosion hazard exists
with unsuitable fuels.

! The engine must be switched off.
! Do not fill-in fuel in closed rooms.
! Make sure that no fuel comes

into contact with hot surfaces.

! Do not use any burning or

glowing objects or carry or put
them near the machine during
refuelling (explosion hazard).

! Fill the tank at the most 1 cm

below the lower edge of the filler
neck, since the fuel expands in
heat.

! Wipe off spilled over fuel and

close tank cap tightly.

Risk of overturning on too
high gradients!

Danger!

The machine could topple over
when driving and turning on slopes.

— Drive only on slopes up to 18 %

in the travelling direction.

— At right angles to direction of

travel only negotiate gradients up
to a maximum of 15 %.

Risk of overturning when
taking bends rapidly!

Danger!

The machine can topple-over when
driving fast around curves.

! Drive slowly in curves.

Danger of tipping over
given an unstable travelling
surface!

Danger!

The machine can tip over given an
unstable travelling surface.

! Move the machine exclusively on

a solid travelling surface.

Danger of tipping over
given a sideways incline
that is too large!

Danger!

The machine can tip over given an
incline of more than 15 %.

Intended use

— This sweeping machine is

designed for sweeping surfaces
in outdoor areas.

— It is not intended for use on

public traffic routes.

— It is not suitable for health-

hazardous dusts.

Function description ­sweeping machine

The KM 100/100 R sweeper
operates according to the throw­over principle.
— The side brush (3) cleans corners

and edges of the sweeping
surface and transports the dirt in
the path of the main brush.

— The rotating main brush (4)

transports the dirt directly into the
debris container (5).

— The dust swirled up in the

container is separated by way of
the dust filter (2) and the filtered,
clean air removed by the suction
turbine (1).
