while the sweeper is operating.
Danger of toppling over on steep slopes!
The sweeper could topple over while it is being driven across or turning
round on a sleep slope.
n The maximum gradient up or down which the sweeper can be driven is
18%.
n Do not drive at right angles to a slope with a gradient steeper than 10%.
Danger of toppling over if bends are negotiated at high speed!
n The sweeper could topple over if it is driven round a bend at high speed.
Drive slowly round bends.
Caution when carrying out maintenance or repairs!
In order to prevent the engine from being started unintentionally, proceed as
follows:

Prior to initial
start-up
Unloading procedure
Do not use a forklift truck for unloading as it could cause damage to the sweeper.
The sweeper has been lashed onto a pallet to ensure that it can be transported safely. The procedure for unpacking the sweeper is as follows:
1. Remove the wooden boards from the pallet and nail them onto the end of
the pallet (in front of the sweeper).
2. Detach the wires holding the sweeper in place at the ends of the pallet.
3. Knock away the blocks used for locking the wheels and use them for the
support of the wooden planks on the left and right.
4. Drive the sweeper off the pallet and down the ramp made from the boards.
5. The side brush has been tied to the chassis for transport. Undo the cord
holding it in place.
Moving the sweeper
If you want to move the sweeper without starting the engine,
n Pull the section of panelling upwards and unscrew the knob on the inside
of the bonnet.
n Raise the bonnet towards the front until it automatically locks in position.
n Take the open-jawed spanner (7 mm A/F) out of the tool kit.
n Turn the free-wheel arm (bypass) on the hydraulic pump either to the right
or left by 90°, using the open-jawed spanner (7 mm A/F).
Note:
Do not move the sweeper over long distances or at a speed faster than
10 km/h with the switched off (e.g. when it is being towed), as this will result
in damage to the hydraulic system.
After moving the sweeper without the engine running
n Turn the free-wheel arm back through 90°, otherwise it will not be possible
to drive the sweeper normally.
26
n Lift the rod up slightly and close the bonnet.
n Tighten the knob on the inside of the bonnet.

Preparing the
sweeper for use
All directions given (left/right, front/rear) are as seen from the driver’s seat.
n Check the oil level in the engine (see Chapter: “Maintenance”).
n Check the level of coolant in the radiator (see Chapter: “Maintenance”).
n Check the amount of fuel in the tank and fill up, if required (see below).
n Check the level of hydraulic fluid and top up, if required (see Chapter:
“Maintenance”).
n Check the air pressure in the tyres (see Chapter: “Maintenance”).
n Inspect the brush roller and remove any string, rope, etc., that may be
caught up in the brushes.
n Check the dust filter. If it is very dirty, operate the shaker to clean it off .
n Empty the waste container.
Adjusting the driver’s seat
The driver’s seat can be adjusted to fit people of different sizes.
n Pull the lever outwards.
n Adjust the seat position and release the lever.
n Move the seat back and forth to ensure that it has locked in position.
Filling the fuel tank
Explosion hazard while refuelling!
n Do not fill up with fuel
– in an enclosed space
– while the engine is running.
n Do not smoke while refuelling the vehicle.
n Fuel expands as it becomes warmer.
Do not fill the tank right up to the top. Leave a gap of at least 1 cm under
the bottom edge of the filler neck.
n Wipe up any fuel they may have been spilt and ensure that the cap is
replaced firmly on the tank.
Opening the fuel tap
n Open up the bonnet and make sure it locks in position.
n Open the fuel tap.
OPEN = Knob turned so that it is parallel to fuel pipe
n Close the bonnet.
Adjusting r.p.m. of side brush
n A clockwise turn reduces the r.p.m. of the side brush.
+-
n A counterclockwise turn increases the r.p.m. of the side brush.

Starting the
sweeper
Driving the sweeper for the first time
Select a location with plenty of space to drive the sweeper initially, until you
become familiar with the individual operating controls and their functions.
All directions given (left/right, front/rear) are as seen from the driver’s seat.
n Sit down on the driver’s seat.
The engine cannot be started unless the driver is sitting on the seat
(seat contact switch).
As soon as the driver gets up from the seat, the engine cuts out
(safety shutdown).
n Raise the brush roller 1.
– Press button
n Raise the side brush 2.
– Press button
n Apply the parking brake 3.
n If engine is cold
– pull cold-start lever 7 (choke).
n Set throttle lever 5 to approx. 1/3 max. speed.
n Start engine
– turn ignition key 4 clockwise until engine starts.
n When engine is running smoothly, push cold-start lever 7 back in.
Setting off
Note:
If the sweeper has not been used for longer than 2 months, run the engine for
a few minutes with the unit in neutral before commencing work.
n Set the throttle lever 5 to operating speed (maximum revs., lever pushed
towards the rear.)
n Release the parking brake 3.
– Press the release button and push the lever downwards.
n Depress drive pedal slowly
– 6a Machine drives forward
– 6b Machine reverses
The speed at which the sweeper travels forwards or backwards is infinitely
variable and is controlled by applying pressure to the drive pedal.
Avoid pressing the drive pedal with a jerky movement, otherwise the hydraulic
system could be damaged as a result.
Negotiate slopes with engine at full speed but sweeper travelling slowly (drive
pedal pressed only ½ way down).
Braking
n Lift your foot off the drive pedal 6a/6b and the sweeper brakes automatical-
ly.
Avoid braking the sweeper abruptly by pressing the pedal against the
direction of travel, as this could cause damage to the hydraulic system.
Bringing the sweeper to a halt and stopping the engine
n Lift your foot off the drive pedal 6a/6b. The sweeper brakes automatically
and comes to a halt.
n Set the throttle lever 5 to minimum revs. (push lever forwards).
n Apply the parking brake 3.
n It is very important that you raise the brush roller and side brush so that
the bristles do not become damaged.
n Stop the engine.
– Turn the ignition key 4 anticlockwise to position 0 and pull it out.
After the engine has been switched off, the filter is automatically cleaned for approx. 10 seconds.
