General information

1.1 Safety

Avoid roll-overs

!Do not drive the machine in a place where it can slide, tip or roll. Do not drive on slopes with an incline of more than 10°. (Picture 1)

Tyre pressure

The tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted to 1.5 bar (22 psi) when the suction sweeper is attached. Lower tyre pressure increases the risk of roll-overs.

Emptying the hopper

Before emptying the hopper, make sure that:

A)The machine is firmly placed on a level surface and is not “angled”

B)That there is sufficient space for the open back cover.

Make sure the hopper is secured

! Check the hopper is firmly attached to the machine. (Picture 2)

Prevent people from standing close to ! the suction sweeper

Make sure there is no one close to the machine when it is in use.

Attention

As it is articulated, the rear end of the machine swings out when turning. Make sure that no one is near the machine while it is in use as there is a danger of crushing.

Risk of impact when using the lever

Do not let go of the lever when the hopper tank is lowered as that is dangerous. Keep a good grip of the lever until the hopper is on the machine. (Picture 3)

Risk of crushing

Make sure no one gets their fingers trapped when the hopper is lowered after tipping. (Picture 4)
