PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP
Directions for unloading
!
Do not use a fork-lift truck for unloading the
sweeper as the sweeper can sustain damage
in this way.
The sweeper has been fastened to a pallet for safe transport.
Proceed as follows for unpacking it:
1. Remove wooden boards from the pallet and nail them to
the abutments of the pallet (front end of the sweeper)
2. Remove strap attachments at the abutment points
3. Knock away the wooden blocks for locking the wheels
and use them for supporting the wooden boards on right
and left
4. Push the sweeper off the pallet over the ramp that has
been created
In sweepers with installed battery (1.091-111) it is
possible to drive down the ramp. To do this, open motor
cover and fold it back. Put gear lever into position
(slow), and close the cover again. Insert battery plug
connection (at drivers seat). Key switch to Position 1
and drive down carefully - see in addition chapter Driving
trials and Stopping the sweeper and switching off.
5. The side brush is tied to the frame for transportation
purposes. Undo the string.
Pushing the sweeper by hand
If you wish to move the sweeper without using its own drive:
Open the engine cover.
Fold the cover towards the rear; it will be held in place by
the gas-filled spring.
Put gear lever in direction of motion on to the
symbol
N
Release the handbrake.
Push the sweeper to the required destination.
After sweeper has been moved by hand:
Apply the handbrake.
Put gear lever into position
(fast) or
slow, as
otherwise the sweeper cannot be driven.
PRIOR TO EVERY START-UP
Check the hydraulic-fluid level, fill up if necessary (see
chapter Maintenance)
Check main brush roller for strapping or cord that may
have wrapped round it. If so, remove it.
Examine the dust filters, if there is heavy dust accumu-
lation shake them out
Empty waste hopper.
STARTING THE SWEEPER
Adjusting the drivers seat
The drivers seat can be adjusted to suit persons of various
heights by changing the seat position.
Unhook the rods for the seat tilting device.
Undo the 4 attachment screws
Move the seat to the desired position.
Tighten the screws and hook the rods back into the tilting
device.
Initial driving trials
Carry out initial driving trials in an area where there is plenty
of free space until you are familiar with the individual
operating controls and their functions.
All indications of direction (right/left, front/rear) are given in
relation to the direction of travel as seen from the drivers
seat.
Sit on the drivers seat.
The sweeper cannot be started until the driver has sat
down (seat contact switch). As soon as driver gets up
from the seat, the safety shut-down comes into force and
the drive control, blower fan and main brush roller drive
are disconnected.
