Disposal
The disposal instructions are based on icons on the
appliance or its package. The description of all meanings
can be found in the “Marking“ Chapter.
Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against any damage
during transport. Package materials are usually chosen
according to their environment friendliness and disposal
method and can therefore be recycled.
Putting the package into material circulation saves raw
materials and reduces waste disposal costs.
Parts of the package (e.g. foils, styropor) can be dangerous
to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of the package out of reach of children and
dispose them as quickly as possible.
Handling requirements
The operating staff must carefully read the Operating
Instructions before using the appliance.
Qualification
Apart from the detailed instruction by a professional no special
qualification is necessary for using the appliance.
.
Transport and storage
For any longer storage the appliance must be thoroughly
cleaned and stored so as unauthorised persons could not
access it.
- Empty the dirt collecting container
- Adjust the brushes to relieve them
- Store the appliance when it is dry
- To save spaces, the sliding handle can be folded.
Loosen the screws, pull the sliding handle out and
fold forward.
Assembly (pic. 1, 2)
When putting the appliance into working order, it is enough just
to fold up the sliding handle and tighten the screws included in
the supply.
Now adjust the sliding handle height. Loosen the screws (pic.
1/6), select the required fixture and fix the sliding handle in the
desired height.
Operation (pic. 3)
When the sweeper is moved, the feeder brushes (pic. 3/5) and
sweeping brushes (pic. 3/8) start rotating, helped by the belt
drive. Rotating feeder brushes (pic. 3/5) drive the dirt to the
centre. It is then collected by both sweeping brushes, running
opposite each other (pic. 3/8) and taken to the dirt collecting
container (pic. 3/3).
Adjustment of feeder and sweeping brushes
Depending on the type of use and wear, it is possible to
centrally adjust the height of feeder brushes and the back
sweeping brush. Turn the central screw for height adjustment
(pic. 1/5). The deeper you adjust the appliance, the closer to
the ground the feeder brushes are going to be and the more
difficult it is going to be to move the appliance forward.
Emptying the dirt collecting container
If you want to take out the dirt collecting container (pic. 1/3) to
empty it, take it by its handle and pull up.
If metal, glass or sharp objects have been swept, it is necessary
to use firm working gloves when emptying the dirt collecting
container.
Inspections and maintenance
Use a wet cloth for plastic parts cleaning. Do not use
any cleaning agents, solvents or sharp objects.
After every use
Remove the appliance off dust and dirt.
Empty the dirt collecting container.
Except the above, the appliance needs not be maintained any
further.
