We
expressly
draw
your
attention
to
the
fact
that
original
parts
and
accessories

not
supplied
by
us
have
neither
been
tested
nor
cleared
by
us.
The
incorporation
and/or
use
of
such
products
may
therefore
adversely
modify
design
features
of
your

from
both
the
active
and
the
passive
point
of
view.

the
machine
please
read
the
following
items:
-
Handbook
for
the
maintenance
of
the
motor.

3.
Making
the
machine
operational:
3.1
The
driving
handle
is
easily
adjustable
to
the
optimum
height
for
the
operator.
For
this
purpose
there
are
two
twist
knobs
on
the
driving
handle
which
can
be
released
for
adjustment
and
then
tightened
to
hold
the
new
position.
3.2
When
borders,
curb-stones,
bricks
or
corners
should
be
swept
the
side
brush
should
be
lowered.
To
lower
the
side
brush
the
knob,
which
is
on
the
cable,
should
be
pushed.
The
side
brush
control
is
indicated
on
the
control
panel
by
a
"side
brush"
symbol.
Important!
The
side
brush
should
only
be
lowered
in
the
above
cases
so
as
to
avoid
unnecessary
dust
creation.
To
raise
the
side
brush
the
cable
handle
should
be
pulled.
The
clamping
of
the
cable
in
the
"up"
position
is
automatic.
3.3
Releasing
the
handbrake
as
follows,
the
blocking
mechanism
on
the
top
of
the
driving
wheel
should
be
pressed
with
the
foot.
Thus
the
radial
and
axial
braking
are
released
and
the
machine
is
ready
to
move.
3.4
Starting
the
machine
Pull
the
choke
(indicated
by
the
symbol)
to
the
middle
position.
The
choke
is
not
necessary
when
the
machine
is
already
at
operating
temperature.
When
the
choke
has
been
set
the
key
must
be
turned
past
the
1
'o'
clock
position
until
the
motor
starts,
the
key
should
then
be
released
whereby
it
will
remain
in
the
1
'o'
clock
position.
When
the
motor
does
not
start
in
about
5
seconds
the
operator
should
stop
and
start
the
process
again
in
about
20
seconds.
When
the
motor
does
not
start
(e.g.
the
starter
motor
is
defect)
the
hand
starter
should
be
used.
For
this
the
key
should
be
in
the
key
switch
and
in
the
1
'o'
clock
position,
the
positioning
switch
is
used
to
adjust
and
open
the
bonnet.
As
soon
as
the
motor
is
working
shut
the
bonnet
and
release
the
positioning
switch.
- 4 -

3.5
The
green
control
light
on
the
control
panel
indicates
that
the
machine
is
ready
to
work.
3.6
Starting
the
motor
also
starts
the
vacuum,
the
main
brush
and
the
side
brush.

Instructions
for
use:
4.1
By
the
use
of
the
right
handle-grip
on
the
driving
handle
the
machine
will
start
to
move forwards,
the
steering
direction
is
controlled
by
the
driving
handle.
This
forwards
movement
can
be
regulated
with
the
right-handle
grip
from
0
-
max.
4
km/h.
When
driving
curves
the
speed
can
be
reduced
by
releasing
pressure
on
the
right-handle-grip.
4.2
Floors
should
be
cleaned
in
parallel
strips
which
should
overlap
by
ca.
3
-
5
cm.
The
fitted
side
brush
will
easily
work
close
to
borders.
When
the
side
brush
receives
light
pressure
it
will
automatically
move
inwards
and
on
removal
of
the
pressure
will
return
to
the
wider
position.
4.3
By
means
of
the
vacuum,
generated
above
the
dirt
container,
the
dust
created
by
the
sweeping
process
is
drawn
to
the
filter,
which
is
positioned
above
the
dirt
container.
Therefore
the
driver
and
other
participants
are
not
irritated
by
a
cloud
of
dust.
4.4
If
dust
suction
is
decreasing,
the
filter
clogged
up
with
the
dust
being
extracted.
In
this
case
the
operator
must
shake
off
the
dust
from
the
filter.
To
do
so,
release
plastic
section
from
above
the
dirt
container
to
interrupt
the
vacuum.
The
fine
dust
then
easily
falls
into
the
dirt
container.
The
filter
is
operated
as
follows:
The
filter
shaker
is
activated
by
pulling
and
releasing
the
knob
on
the
operators
panel.
This
procedure
will
be
repeated
3
-
5
times
in
steps
of
some
seconds.
Remember,
that
- 5 -

the
cover
must
be
closed
before
sweeping
can
continue.
(Take
note:
the
dustier
the
floor
to
be
cleaned,
the
more
often
this
process
to
be
repeated).
But
only
use
the
filter
shaker
when
the
motor
is
running!
Otherwise
there
is
the
danger
to
discharge
the
battery.
4.5
When
working
on
an
especially
damp
floor
or
puddles
the
plastic
section
above
the
dirt
container
should
be
permanently
released
so
that
the
water
cannot
be
sucked
into
the
filter
material.
The
suction
then
does
not
work
but
on
damp
and
wet
floors
there
will be
no
dust
creation.
4.6
For
the
case
where
floors
to
be
swept
not
only
have
fine
dust
but
also
large
or
very
light
rubbish,
there
is
fitted.
This
is
operated
by
the
left
handle-grip.
When
used
this
allows
larger
pieces
of
dirt
to
pass
into
the
main
sweeping
area,
after
the
material
has
passed
into
the
main
area
the
flap
must
be
allowed
to
close
to
re-establish
the
suction
to
the
inner
area.
4.7
After
some
sweeping
time
(how
long
depends
upon
the
type
of
dirt
that
is
being
swept)
it
is
recommended
to
empty
the
dirt
container,
to
be
found
at
the
rear
of
the
machine.
Above
the
handle
in
the
middle
of
the
container
the
locking
mechanism
for
the
dirt
container
can
be
found.
This
locking
mechanism
can
be
easily
opened
and
the
dirt
container
easily
removed
to
the
rear.
Replacing
the
dirt
container
to
be
done
in
reverse
order.
4.8
After
completing
the
sweeping
process
the
machine
can
be
stopped
by
releasing
the
right
handle-grip.
The
handbrake
must
then
be
locked
on
to
prevent
uncontrolled
movement
of
the
machine.
On
sloping
floors
it
is
advisable
to
set
the
driving
wheel
at
right-angles
to
ensure
that
it
remains
in
position.
The
locking
of
the
wheel
is
done
in
the
following
way,
the
blocking
mechanism
on
the
top
of
the
driving
wheel
should
be
pressed
with
the
foot.
Thus
the
radial
and
axial
braking
are
enabled
and
the
machine
is
unable
to
move.

4.9
After
the
parking
of
the
machine
the
key
in
the
lock
should
be
turned
to
the
12
'o'
clock
position
and
stored
away
from
the
machine
to
prevent
unauthorised
use
of
the
machine.
4.10
To
avoid
odours
the
dirt
container
should
be
emptied
at
the
end
of
every
operation.
(see
4.7)
4.11
After
usage
we
recommend
to
clean
the
machine.
