NOTICE: THE ENGINE IS DELIVERED WITHOUT OIL AND GASOLINE.
Oil Filling:
Place the engine in a horizontal position. Remove the plug and fill with oil right to
the edge. (Figure 7)

Original-Bedienungsanleitung Benzin-Kehrmaschine FX-KM196_rev05
12
Fuel
Use lowest available octane unleaded fuel. When filling, place the machine in a
horizontal position. Always replace old fuel. Always stop the engine when fueling.
Never fill up with fuel on a hot engine. Never use gasoline mixed with oil.
Operation - Start and Stop
Cold Engine
Activate the engine choke. Set the throttle control on full speed. (Figure 8)
First pull the starting rope a couple of times, shortly, until it feels tight. Pull the
starting rope slowly to the point where it feels tight, place your left hand on the
engine in order to hold back, and pull the starting rope hard once. When the engine
runs, deactivate the choke.
NOTICE: NEVER LET THE STARTING ROPE WIND AGAIN BY ITSELF.
Follow it all the way back with your hand. If the engine does not run in spite of
several attempts, this may be caused by the fact that there is too much fuel in the
cylinder/carburettor, and that the spark plug has become moist. Remove the plug
and wipe it off.
Stop the Engine:
Set the throttle control in position "Stop". Set the throttle lever to idle and let the
engine run for 12-20 seconds before the lever is moved to stop. Never leave the
sweeper without stopping the engine.
NOTICE: Do not turn off the engine by switching on the choke, as this may result in
damage to the engine.

 Remove from the sweeping area all property that could be damaged by flying
debris.
 Be sure all persons not operating the sweeper are clear of the sweeper
discharge area for protection, and wear a dust mask.
 Always wear proper apparel such as a long-sleeved shirt buttoned at the cuffs;
safety glasses goggles or a face shield; ear protection; and a dust mask.
While operating sweeper
DANGER
FALL HAZARD DO NOT OPERATE NEAR UNGUARDED EDGES.
 This sweeper is not intended for rooftop use.
 When operating sweeper, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other
professional guidelines for your sweeping application.
 Minimise flying debris - use the slowest rotating speed that will do the job.
 Keep hands, feet, hair and other loose clothing away from all moving parts.
 Before leaving the operator's position for any reason stop engine.
NOTICE: AVOID TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. Do not shift while in motion.

Original-Bedienungsanleitung Benzin-Kehrmaschine FX-KM196_rev05
14
WARNING
Leave the brush hood (shield) and all other shields and safety equipment in
place when operating the sweeper.
 When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid "bouncing" the
sweeper. Loss of control can result.
 Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be
damaged by flying debris.
 Only operate the controls while the engine is running.
 While you operate the sweeper slowly in an open area, check for proper
operation of all controls and all protective devices. Note any repairs needed
during the operation of the sweeper. Report any needed repairs.
Before each use
Perform daily maintenance as indicated in Maintenance Schedule.
Run the sweeper at a low idle, check for proper brush rotation and drive
engagement.
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 a 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 is used interchangeably.

Original-Bedienungsanleitung Benzin-Kehrmaschine FX-KM196_rev05
15
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 three available positions to
tilt the brush.
· Lever forward = 15o to the right.
· Lever central = 0o no tilt.
· Lever rear = 15o to the left.
Sweeping
To sweep:
1. Turn the directional brush control (fig. 9
B) to the required position. (See Brush
Direction)
2. Set the gear depending on the route and
the amount of material to be swept.
3. Engage the brush drive. (fig. 9C)
4. 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 shut off when you release the levers, the
brush and machine stop.
Operating Tips
NOTICE: AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Do not ram into piles.
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 into two parts and then
sweeping the remaining areas. That reduces the load on the brush.

Original-Bedienungsanleitung Benzin-Kehrmaschine FX-KM196_rev05

8. During Use
Snow
 Snow is removed more quickly when it is still fresh - passback 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.
WARNING

WARNING
IN AN EMERGENCY, RELEASE LEVERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND STOP
THE ENGINE.
Height adjustment of Caster Wheels & Brushes
Once the brushes get worn, it is necessary to adjust the
height of the brushes, i.e. how close they are to the
surface to sweep. This adjustment takes place by moving
the plastic rings of the brush caster wheels. See as
follows:
1. Release the lock (fig. 10.A);
2. Extract the plug (fig. 10.B);
3. Lift / lower the caster wheels (fig. 10.C);
4. Re-insert the plug;
5. Lock the lock.
9. Service and Repair
 Repair or adjust the sweeper in a safe area, away from traffic and other
hazards.
 Before adjusting or servicing remove spark plug wire from the spark plug.
10. Storage
NOTICE:
 Do not store the sweeper with weight on the brush. Weight will deform the
bristles, destroying the sweeping effectiveness.
 Do not store polypropylene brushes in direct sunlight. The material can
deteriorate and crumble before the bristles are worn out.
 Keep polypropylene brush material away from intense heat or flame.
