1.4 Operation/Safety Information
Vacuum sweepers may be run by qualified personnel only; such personnel will
have to have evidenced their qualification for running the machine to the owner
or his authorized representative; operators explicitly will have to be instructed
by the owner or his authorized representative to use the machine.
The machine may be
used for cleaning such
surfaces approved by
the owner or this authorized representative for
operation of vacuum
sweepers.
Before starting the engine, switch off all drives.
Transporting persons on the machine is
prohibited. Ride-on machine types are
to be started with the driver being sea-
ted.
Never leave the machine unattended
before the motors are off and the machine is protected against unintended
movements.
To prevent the machine from unauthorized use, pull the control key to block all
drives.
Shut down the motors before transport
of the machine. During driving the operator has to take account of local conditions and when working he has to watch
out for other persons, especially children.
Shut down the engine
before opening the hood
or fairings.
This machine must not
be used as dust-evacuating machine with dust
filter insert (separator)
to collect dusts which
are hazardous to health.
Compared to fourwheeled vehicles, driving stability of threewheeled vehicles is reduced. We thus recommend:
- do not negotiate curves at high speed.
- do not turn at slopes
but on level ground
only.
- ride up- or downhill
straight.
Safety Information
11
Warning and instruction
labels attached to the
machine contain important information
about safe operation.
Provide for sufficient
ventilation when
sweeping indoors.
Proceed to filter shaking
only after having closed
the dirt hopper.
Do not open the hood
with the engine running.
1.5 Cleaning Information
The specific safety instructions for
handling drive batteries apply. Before
proceeding to cleaning of the machine,
pull the ignition key.
The machine is splash-proof (IPX3).
Do not clean the Kleen
Sweep 40R/47R with
high-pressure cleaner or
vapour jet.
Proceed to cleaning of
the dirt hopper in regular
intervals to preclude formation of bacterial deposits.
Safety Information
12
1.6 Maintenance Instructions
A good approach to prevention of accidents is proper maintenance of the machine.
Before proceeding to repair or maintenance work remove the ignition key.
Use appropriate tools for maintenance,
service, setting etc.
As far as aspects of safety are concerned, spare parts will have to be at least
of the same quality as the genuine spare parts.
Switch off the motors
before maintaining the
machine or replacing
parts of it.
Check hydraulic lines
and hoses for damages
and leakage in regular
intervals; replace defective hoses and lines immediately!
Before changing wheels
protect the machine
against rolling by placing blocks. Proceed to
wheel changing when
the machine is on level
and solid ground.
Do not repair the pneumatic tires mounted to
the machine yourself.
Dismount the wheel and
take it to repair by professionals.
Use of other than the cylinder brooms and side
brushes approved by
the manufacturer is not
acceptable (see technical data) since use of
other cylinder brooms
and side brushes may
affect your safety.
When handling lubricating agents, the applicable regulations for protection of the
environment and prevention of fire have to be
complied with. Provide
for disposal of used oil
and grease in accordance with the provisions
imposed by law.
Collect cleaning agents,
oil, fuel oil, grease etc.
and provide for adequate disposal. Wipe away
spilled substances.
Safety Information

Before commencing any
work on the electrical
system disconnect the
battery plug of the Kleen
Sweep 40R/47R.
Do not keep batteries discharged for a longer
period; always recharge
them as soon as possible.
Top with distilled water
only. Never refill battery
acid in battery cells of
perfect condition.
Open the hood before
charging batteries; generation of explosive
gas!
Keep batteries dry and
clean and clear of soiling such as e.g. metallic
dust to avoid leakage
current.
Do not place metal objects or tools onto batteries. Short-circuit and
deflagration hazard.
Spilled (straight) battery
acid must not get into
the sewage system before having been neutralised. Comply with the regulations imposed by
law and observe local
provisions.
Battery acid is highly
caustic (keep clear of
children).
When checking the battery acid level, wear
safety glasses. If acid
splashes get into the
eyes rinse with clear water for 15 minutes and
contact a doctor immediately.
Wear appropriate pro-
tective clothes (e.g. protective gloves or fingerstalls) when handling
battery acid.
Do not use open flames
(explosion hazard).
Do not eat, smoke or
drink in rooms where
batteries are charged to
avoid damaging your health. After work with batteries wash your hands
thoroughly. Provide for
sufficient ventilation.

2 Description
2.1 Functional Description
Fig. 3 Principle of
Kleen Sweep 40R/47R
The side brushes are used to collect dirt
at borders and to enlarge the working
width as well as to increase the area
performance at large spaces.
The cylinder broom transports the debris into the dirt hopper. The suction fan
vacuums the fine dirt which is separated by a filter system. The air returned
into the environment is clean.
This sweeper operates
dust-free.
2.2 Cylinder Broom
The cylinder broom is equipped with six
rows of bristles arranged in V-shape.
The cylinder broom width amounts to
27.56 in. (700 mm) and its diameter
13,58 in. (345 mm).
2.3 Side Brush
The standard version, the side brush is
located at the front right. The operator
lifts and lowers it by hand lever.
The side brush is to have a light inclination.
The pivoting area of the side brush arm
is limited by stop screws.
The side brush is driven by V-belt.
For special application, fitting of a second side brush at the left is possible.
Description
15
2.4 Filter System / Dust Evacuation
The filter system is located in the filter
case above the dirt hopper. The suction
filter transports the fine dust raised by
the cylinder broom to the plate filter and
separated there. The fine dusts sets at
the outsides of the filter blades.
In case of heavy dusting,
check and clean the plate filter at regular intervals.
2.5 Shaking System
Due to normal working vibration the set
dust partly falls off into the dirt hoper.
To ensure working in a dust-free environment, however, actuate the shaking
system regularly.
2.6 Steering
Steering is controlled from steering
wheel to front wheel via fork head.
2.7 Wheels
Front wheel : Solid tires
Rear wheels: Solid tires
2.8 Brake
The Kleen Sweep 40R/47R is equipped
with a service brake.
This brake has been constructed a s
shoe brake and equally serves as parking brake.
It is located at the rear wheels and is actuated via cables.
A special adjustment screw is situated
at the right-hand rear wheel.
Works at the braking system have to be executed by qualified persons
in a qualified workshop
only.
2.9 Traction Drive Assembly
The Kleen Sweep 40R/47R is equipped
with an electric drive assembly with
continuous regulation.
Battery Systems

3 Battery Systems
Before commencing any work on the
electrical system disconnect battery
plug of the Kleen Sweep 40R/47R. Do
not use open flames when handling
batteries and especially when
checking the battery acid level. Provide for sufficient ventilation in
rooms where batteries are charged.
Spilled (straight) battery acid must
not get into the sewage system before having been neutralised. Comply
with the regulations imposed by law
and observe local provisions.
