1. General information
The Park Ranger 2150 suction sweeper unit is the most
eective choice for maintenance sweeping tasks on
footpaths, pavements, car parks, stairwells etc. The sweeper
unit features a breglass high tip hopper, a rotation cast
fresh water tank and twin front brushes. It is a robust and
compact machine with low noise operation.
The dust is fully under control with the Park Ranger 2150
suction sweeper unit. Two spray jets tted on the front
brushes dampen the sweeping area and bind the dust. The
collecting tank features an innovative lter system binding
even the smallest dust particles inside the hopper. Hopper
dischargefollows directly from the drivers seat.
When sweeping in dry sweeping conditions the brush speed
can be adjusted in order to reduce the amount of dust swirled
up by the rotating brushes.
Attaching and detaching of the suction sweeper unit is quick
and easy with the special designed roller stand. The front
brushes and the collecting tank are dismounted directly on
the stand, which ensures the driver an easy handling and
a minimum storage room. With the Park Ranger 2150 the
changeover from one attachment to another is done in less
than 4 minutes - no tools required.
Additional Side Brush - Optional equipment
A hydraulically operated third brush increases the sweeping
path to 1660 mm and makes it easy to keep also hard
accessible angles and corners neat and clean.
Remote vac hose - Optional equipment
The remote vac hose is ideal for the cleaning of places with
dicult access like between parked bicycles, on basements
stairs etc. The 6 m long hose is kept on the top of the hopper
and is always within reach.

2.3 Important before starting
1. Water lling
Filling the water tank before starting is important.
(Picture 1)
The suction sweeper unit comes standard with 3 jet
sprayers: one in the hopper and one on each of the
twin front brushes. (Picture 2 and 3)
The water capacity is enough for about 1.5 hours of
work when using all jet sprayers, or for about 2.5 hours
when using only the jet sprayer inside the hopper.
2. Control of turbine and lter
Check the turbine and the lter and remove possible
dirt. (Refer to paragraph 3.1.)
3. Adjustment of the brushes
In order to ensure the brushes a long lifetime it is
important that they are adjusted correctly, so that the
brushes do not apply too much pressure on the
ground. (Refer to paragraph 2.6.)
4. Load cell check
1. Plug the 12 v connector into the power output.
2. Turn the ignition to rst position.
3. Switch on the power output.
4. Pull on the wire at the rear of the hopper. (Picture 4)
The alarm will sound. If there is no alarm, check the
load cell.
Attention!
The suction sweeper unit must only be
used with fully functional load cell and
water pump in the hopper!
Stop the engine immediately in case of
unbalance or vibrations in the lter or
the turbine.
A level switch ensures that the water
pump stops automatically when the
water tank is empty.
