3.1 Attaching the front sweeper
Danger!
Severe injuries to the operator or third parties can occur.
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before mounting or dismounting the
sweeper attachment.
Depending on the design of the front hydraulic system, hook the front sweeper into the
tractor implement triangle or the two-point receptacle, in this process note that for first
attachment the connection pieces may need to be adjusted to the desired lift height.
For easier attachment and detachment of the front sweeper we recommend the two
supplemental side parking supports with casters (special accessory).
3.2 Attachment of a SWE-HY 150
Depending on the tractor type the provided universal joint shaft may be too long. In this
case it must be shorted as described in the following steps.
Attention!
Damage can occur to the tractor or the implement.
Use the supplied universal joint shaft.
Note!
When mounting the universal joint shaft also comply with the original operating
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft.
Shortening the universal joint shaft
Instructions for shortening and mounting the universal joint shaft
1. Pull the two halves of the universal joint shaft apart.
2. Mount one end of the universal joint shaft on the tractor.
3. Mount the other end of the universal joint shaft on the implement.
4. In the shortest work position, on one half of the
5. Universal joint shaft mark the piece that must be sawn off. (Picture 1)

4. Slightly move the universal joint shaft back and forth until the locking pin audibly
locks in place.
5. Hook the safety chain of the universal joint shaft to a fixed part on the tractor and on
the implement.
Depending on the version, the machines are equipped with a hydraulic swivel device.
Plug the hydraulic hoses in the hydraulic sockets on the tractor provided for this pur-
pose.
Ensure that the plug-in couplings are clean.

3.3 Attachment of a SWE-HY 150
Plug the two hydraulic lines (flow and return) for the sweeper drive into the hydraulic
sockets located on the tractor.
For machines that are equipped with a hydraulic swivel device plug the two hydraulic
hoses into the hydraulic sockets on the tractor provided for this purpose.
Ensure that the plug-in couplings are clean.
3.4 Mounting the dirt collector - SWE-HY 150
Mount the two attachment plates (collector receptacles) on both facing sides of the
sweeper, using 4 M 8 x 20 mm screws for each side.
Hook the dirt collector (for a new sweeper) into the lower bore of the collector recep-
tacles left and right with the two locking pins and secure with linch pins. Depending on
sweeper wear, use the other bores as described in the operating manual. Attach the hy-
draulic container dumping unit with the two linch pins (pos. 2). Couple the hydraulic
hoses in the hydraulic sockets provided for this purpose on the tractor.

3.5 Mounting the side broom 1500
When attaching for the first time pull the right tension rod out of the sweeper and instead
of the large diameter washer, slide on the provided spring-lock washer and pulley. Intro-
duce all of these elements together into the sweeper. Now screw the attachment plate to
the right side panel with four screws, spring-lock washers + nuts (see 4x A).
Place the V-belt around the belt pulley within the attachment plate. In this process strict-
ly ensure that for "C" = white V-belt deflector roller the back of the V-belt rests on the
roller. Tension the V-belt, by turning handle E until there is a space of approximately 5
mm between the handle and the tube.
The sheet metal above the side broom with the torsion spring is used as a bumper.

4 Operation
4.1 Operating instructions - sweeper
Using the turning handles, adjust the two support wheels in such a manner that the
sweeper roller makes a strip approximately 4 cm in width (Picture 6) against the
ground. In this process use the markings to ensure that the two support wheels have
the same setting!
Note: Adjusting the sweeper roller too tight does not produce a better sweeping result.
Attention: Never store the sweeper on the broom.
For easier storage and mounting of the sweeper we recommend using the two supple-
mental parking support wheels that are available as special accessories.
If the sweeper is equipped with dirt collector and side broom, but is used without these
accessories, set the side broom drive to rotation.
Attention: If this is not done the hydraulic oil can overheat.
4.2 Container - adjustment
Adjust the dirt collector in such a manner that the lower edge has at least a ground
clearance of 4 cm.
Attention:
Too high is better than too low.
Adjust the sweeper carefully if the ground is extremely uneven!
Depending on the position of the dirt collector lift cylinder on the rear side (pos.1) must
be positioned in the same height position of the 4 bores as the dirt collector.

4.3 Side brush - adjustment 1500
Only adjust the side brush after the main sweeper roller and dirt collector are adjusted.
Use the hand wheel to adjust the side broom in such a manner that corners that need to
cleaned are completely swept out.
If the side broom is not in use flip it up and secure it with linch pins. (This is also the sto-
rage position)
Insert the hydraulic hoses on the side broom and on the control valve for rotation (see
pos. 1, Picture 8).
Attention: Do not let the side broom run in flipped up status!!! Danger of accident!
