SWEEPER OPERATION
1.
If necessary, adjust the handlebar (1) to one of the 3
positions (show as page2 C) by using the knobs (2).
2.
Hold the handlebar and push the machine forward no faster
than a normal walking pace. The machine does not work if
dragged backwards.
3.
The hopper (3) should be emptied after each working cycle
and whenever it is full.
AFTER USING THE MACHINE
After working, before leaving the machine: empty the hopper (3)
and check the main broom (8) to remove foreign materials (lace,
wire, strings or similar) which can compromise the correct
operation.
To store the machine in a narrow place, fold the handlebar (1).
Loosen the knobs (2) and pull the handlebar upwards.
Fold down the handlebar and lock it.
Then place the machine in a vertical position to preserve the
broom bristles.
ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the broom height when the bristles are worn or when their
efficiency is compromised.
1.
Adjust the height of the main broom (8) with the knob (7),
the yellow indicator (9) on the knob will rotate to indicate
the adjustment.
Note: If the main broom ground pressure
is adjusted over “+”, higher physical force
is required to push the machine, and the
broom wear is increased.
2.
Adjust the height of the side broom (6) with the knob (5).
To turn the side broom up from the ground, screw the upper
part of the knob counter-clockwise, then fix the under part
of the knob.
In opposite, to turn the side broom down, unscrew the under
part of the knob first and then turn the upper part of the
knob clockwise, after that, fix the under part of the knob.
3.
If the belt (14) is loose, adjust it by the belt tension structure
(15). Unscrew the two screws on the structure, and then
move the structure (15) to appropriate position and fix the
two screws.
After the adjustment, push the machine to check if it moves
smoothly, without difficulty or resistance. Otherwise, repeat the
adjustment procedure.
