be at hand at the place of use of the machine.
In addition to the operating and assembly instructions,
observe and instruct the user in all other generally ap-
plicable legal and other mandatory regulations relevant
to accident prevention and environmental protection.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with
the handling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or
wearing of personal protective equipment, or trafc
regulations.
must be supplemented by instructions covering the
duties involved in supervising and notifying special
organizational features, such as job organization,
working sequences or the personnel entrusted with
the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must
have read the operating instructions and in particular
the chapter on safety before beginning work. Reading
the instructions after work has begun is too late. This
applies especially to persons working only occasionally
on the machine, e.g. during setting up or maintenance.
Check - at least from time to time - whether the per-
sonnel is carrying out the work in compliance with the
operating instructions and paying attention to risks
and safety factors.
For reasons of safety, long hair must be tied back or
otherwise secured, garments must be close-tting and
no jewellery may be worn, including rings. Injury may
result from being caught up in the machinery or from
rings catching on moving parts.
Use protective equipment wherever required by the
circumstances or by law.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached
to the machine.
Make sure that safety instructions and warnings
attached to the machine are always complete and
perfectly legible.
In the event of safety-relevant modications or changes
in the behaviour of the machine during operation, stop
the machine immediately and report the malfunction
to the relevant specialized dealer.
Never make any modifications, additions or con-
versions which might affect safety without the
manufacturer’s approval. This also applies to the in-
stallation and adjustment of safety devices and valves
as well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.
Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer.
These meet technical requirements and include war-
ranty and guarantee claims. Adhere to prescribed inter-
vals or those specied in the operating and assembly
instructions for routine checks and inspections.
For the execution of maintenance work, tools and
workshop equipment adapted to the task on hand are
absolutely indispensable.
The personnel must be familiar with the location and
operation of re extinguishers.
Observe all re-warning and re-ghting procedures.

6.1 Fundamental safety instructions for standard operation
6 Commissioning
Avoid any operational mode that may be prejudicial
to safety.
Before beginning work, familiarize yourself with the
location of installation and circumstances of the site.
This includes obstacles in the working and travelling
area, the earth load capacity and any barriers separating
the location of installation from public roads.
Take the necessary precautions to ensure that the
machine is used only when in a safe and reliable state.
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-
oriented devices, such as removable safety devices,
sound-proong elements and exhausters, are in place
and fully functional.
Check the machine for obvious damage and faults each
time you use it. Report any changes (incl. changes in
the machine’s working behaviour) to a specialized
dealer. If necessary, stop the machine immediately
and lock it.
In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine im-
mediately and lock it. Have any defects rectified
immediately.
Start the machine from the driver’s seat only.
During start-up and shut-down procedures always
watch the indicators in accordance with the operating
and assembly instructions.
Before starting up or setting the machine in motion,
make sure that nobody is at risk.
Before starting work or travelling with the machine,
check that the braking, steering, signalling and lighting
systems are fully functional.
Before setting the machine in motion always check that
the accessories have been safely stowed away.
When driving on public roads, pathways or open
spaces, observe the applicable trafc regulations and,
if appropriate, make the necessary adjustments to the
machine to ensure it meets the legal requirements.
In conditions of poor visibility and after dark always
ensure that there is sufcient lighting.
Always keep at a distance from the edges of building
pits and slopes.
Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine
stability.
Never travel across slopes; always keep the working
equipment and the load close to the ground, especially
when travelling downhill.
On sloping terrain always adapt your travelling speed
to the prevailing ground conditions. Never change to
a lower gear on a slope but always before reaching it.
Before leaving the driver’s seat always secure the
machine against inadvertent movement and unautho-
rized use.

1) There are three settings for adjusting the handlebar
height.
6.2 Steering height adjustment
2) Choose the righthandlebar height.
CAUTION!
Switch off motor. Secure the machine against unintentional starting.
Commissioning
15
4) Heed the three settings for adjusting the handlebar
height.
5) You can fold the handlebar right to the front before
putting the machine away or storing it to save space.
3) Fix the handlebar with the stargripp.
CAUTION!
Make sure that steering control is
safely locked.

6.3 Brush pressure
Commissioning
3) Turn clockwise (+) : raise brush
Turn anticlockwise (-) : lower brush
1) You can adjust the brush pressure in ne stages.
For this reason the support wheel can be adjusted
for height.
2) The adjustment knob can be found above the sup-
port wheel.
IMPORTANT!
If the brushes are heavily worn, or if you are brushing cobblestones, lower the brush one more turn.
Please note: if the brush pressure is too heavy, the cleaning effect is decreased because the brush
hairs are bent too much.
If you do not intend to use the brushing machine for a long period, please release the pressure on
the brush. Raise brush
4) Lower the brush until it just touches the oor. Then
turn two rotations anticlockwise in the direction of
the arrow (-).
16
5) Tighten the support wheel

Commissioning
6.4 Adjusting the ejection direction
1) There are ve different settings available for adju-
sting the ejection direction.
Here: ejection direction forwards. This direction
means that the swept material will heap up in front
of the brushes. You should give preference to side-
ways facing brush settings.
3) The swept material will now be placed or
brushed to one side. This setting is particularly
advantageous in snow for clearing footpaths.
Here: ejection direction to the left.
2) Lift the pivoted lever out of the front toothing so
that the lever is disengaged.Turn the brush in the
required direction and allow the lever to engage
securely again.
Here: ejection direction to the right.
4) If you are using a swept material container, we
recommend a sideways setting. This will enable
you to work right up to a border (such as a house
wall or kerbstone) even with the container attached.
17
5) If you use a plough blade, you have to chose a side-
ways setting.
Here: ejection direction to the right.
DANGER!
Hurling parts at brush-rotation. Make completely sure that there are no persons or objects within
the danger zone, otherwise injuries and damage to materials could result. Secure the machine
against unintentional starting.
6) With the reversing with the sweeper, the brushes
must always be brought into the straight position.

6.5 Swept material container (accessory)
1) The swept material container (accessory) includes:
1 Swept material container
2 Operating manual
3 Washer
3) Push the swept material container over the receiving
bar.
