2 Description
2.1 Functional Description
Principle
The side brush is used to collect dirt
at borders and to enlarge the working
width as well as to increase the area
performance on large surfaces.
The cylinder broom casts the debris
overhead into the dirt hopper. The collected fine dust is evacuated by the
suction fan and separated by a filter
system. The air returned into the environment is clean.
Dirt disposal at the SW5X is realized
via two dirt hoppers (2x30 litres)
which are to be emptied manually.
Dirt disposal at the SW5X (Lift-Up
Disposal) is realized via lift-up disposal (lift-up height > 1350mm) directly
into standard waste containers.

2.2 Cylinder Broom
The cylinder broom is equipped with
12 rows of bristles arranged in
V-shape.
The cylinder broom width amounts to
27.6 in. (700mm) and its diameter to
13.6 in. (345mm).
2.3 Side Brush
At the standard version, the side
brush is located at the front right of
the machine. The operator lifts and lowers it by hand lever.
The side brush has a light inclination.
The swinging 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.
2.4 Filter System / Dust
Evacuation
The filter system is located in the filter case above the dirt hopper. The
suction fan transports the fine dust
raised by the cylinder broom to the
plate filter where it is separated. The
fine dusts sets at the outsides of the
filter blades.
In case of heavy dust development, 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 dustfree environment, however, actuate
the shaking system regularly, or after
request by the pilot lamp at the latest.
