the product design and construction without separate notice.
The attachable sweeping machine is designed for:
Tractors
Front loaders.
4.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SWEEPING MACHINE
The main components of the sweeping machine are: the frame, the shaft, suspension, supporting
casters and garbage collection bins.
The shaft is rotated by the hydraulic actuator. The torque for the shaft is produced by the hydraulic
motor, which is rotated by connecting the hoses to the tractor's hydraulic system.
The sweeping machine has three cleaning positions, i.e., straight, turned to the right and turned to the
left (Fig. 2). Cleaning positions are set mechanically by turning the rod or hydraulically with the use
of hydraulic cylinder.
In PROFI H model the garbage bin is used for the collection of garbage and other bulk material from
the surface being cleaned.

5. SWEEPING MACHINE OPERATION
Before using the sweeping machine, the operator must read the user manual. Regulations of
directives on proper operation must be observed.
5.1 CONNECTING THE SWEEPER TO THE TRACTOR
The device is mounted on the front or rear suspension of the machine. Hydraulic hoses are connected
to the hydraulic system.
The sweeping machine is connected to the tractor, which is intended for that purpose, without any
problems. The connection does not require additional tools. Check if all coupling elements are in
order.
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, ensure that they are not twisted, without loops
and protected from damage.
In order to ensure optimum operation of the sweeping machine:
The device requires a hydraulic circuit with reverse flow and a quick-connect coupling;
Check if the rotating parts (hydraulic motor, brush shaft) are mounted appropriately (at least
once in 8 working hours)

PROFI H
©V. Padagas ir ko., UAB. All rights reserved.
CAUTION!
Regulations of directives on mounting points are mandatory
5.2 CONNECTION OF THE SWEEPING MACHINE TO THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
Remove the quick-connected plugs from protective holders (or remove the fixing elements) and
connect them to the external links of the tractor's hydraulic system. When connecting the hydraulic
hoses, make sure the hoses are not bent and are protected from damage.
Each time the hydraulic system of the sweeping machine is connected, it is necessary to raise the
machine to an 800-mm height and test the hydraulic functions. It is necessary to fully understand the
sweeping machine functions and only then operate the device.
CAUTION!
DO NOT open the container of the sweeping machine without raising it from
the ground.
5.3 TEST OPERATION
The sweeping machine must be tested:
Before starting the operation
Periodically (at least once a month)
After repair works
The operator must ensure that the hydraulic hoses are replaced after a certain period of time, even if
there are no visible defects. Hydraulic hoses should not be used for longer than 6 years. The date of
manufacture and the permissible dynamic pressure are specified on the hose.
5.4 OPERATING THE SWEEPING MACHINE
After checking all the safety equipment and hydraulic connections, you may start using the sweeping
machine.
The working speed of the sweeping machine depends on the type of surface being cleaned and the
amount of rubbish (but must not exceed 10 km/h).
When operating the sweeping machine:
If there are three supporting casters, it is necessary to monitor that the sweeping machine is
running on the casters during operation.

PROFI H
©V. Padagas ir ko., UAB. All rights reserved.
It is necessary to observe that the weight of the loader does not press the sweeping
machine.
Connect the hydraulic hoses so that the shaft rotates in the right direction.
Make sure the casters and the garbage bin do not interfere with the shaft.
The turned position of the sweeping machine may be selected only when working without the
garbage bin.
Before sweeping, check if the garbage bin is mounted properly and the shaft is pressed to the
base. Pressing the shaft is carried out by raising or lowering the shaft. When the rings are
worn out, the shaft must be lowered so that the sweeping segments would touch the surface
being cleaned.
If the lower rubber of the bin is worn out, the bin must be tipped to press the rubber to the
ground. Bin tipping is adjusted by shortening the tipping rod of the hydraulic cylinder (Fig.
4).
Note: When assembling a new shaft, make sure the axle is not bent. Repair of the hydraulic system
may be carried out only in an authorised workshop. The safe condition of the sweeping machine must
be monitored during its daily operation.
