WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY.
Check for large objects that could harm the operator or others if thrown by the sweeper. Remove
these items before operating.
During use
Directing Debris
Avoid excessive downward pressure on the brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A two to
four inch wide pattern is sufficient for most applications.
Direct debris by angling the brush head in that direction.
Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes sweeping more effective and helps
keep debris off the operator.
The terms swing and angle are used interchangeably.
Brush Direction
The brush direction is regulated by a lever (fig. 9B) that tilts it in the required direction. Move the
lever forward or rear in one of the 3 available positions to tilt the brush.
· Lever forward = 15oto the right.
· Lever central = 0ono tilt.
· Lever rear = 15oto the left.
Sweeping
To sweep:
1. Turn the handle(fig.9A) to control Forward and Rear.
2. Turn the brush directional control (fig. 9 B) to the required
position. (See Brush Direction)
3. Set the gear depending on the route and the amount of
material to be swept.
4. Engage the brush drive. (fig. 9C)
5. Engage the traction drive. (fig. 9D)
NOTICE: AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Reduce travel speed to
avoid hitting immovable objects.
The sweeper is equipped with an instant shutoff, when you release the levers, the brush and
machine stop.
Operating Tips
NOTICE: AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Do not ram into piles.
13

Large areas
For uneven or dirt surfaces, reduce speed to avoid jogging the brush and damaging it.
Sweep creating a central passage dividing the area in 2 parts and then sweeping the remaining
areas. This reduces the load on the brush.
Snow
Snow is removed more easily when it is still fresh. Pass back over the already cleared zones to
remove snow residue.
If possible, clear the snow in the direction of the wind. Check the distance and the direction of
the removed snow.
Reduce the engine rotations before stopping it.
Dirt & Gravel
To reduce the amount of duct lifted when sweeping, work at low brush speed. If possible, also
work on damp or cloudy days or after it rains.
For gravel, adjust the height of the brush to avoid throwing them and causing potential
damages.
Heavy Debris
Reduce forward speed and work without using the entire machine working width.
