Unpacking and Assembly
1. Your sweeper is shipped on a pallet. To remove the sweeper, cut the front
side of the box open and fold it under to form a ramp. Roll the sweeper over
the ramp so that the running wheels are still standing on
the pallet.
2. While the machine is in this position, install the side brushes. The side
brushes are located in the dirt container under the side brush plate in the
front exterior portion of the machine. Simply apply light pressure, twisting
the brushes upwards until you feel them lock into place.
NOTE: Do not tip over the machine in this process. There is a danger of
battery acid running out, creating a hazardous condition.
3. Roll the machine from the box and off of the pallet.
4. Put the handle in the upright position by pulling it downwards into the two
tappets completely. Tighten with the two thumbscrews.
5. Install and connect the battery cables. Set the
safety switch on the handle to the "0" position.
6. The tool to unlatch the main cover is found inside the dirt collector bin.
Remove the dirt collector and using the tool, unlatch the main cover.
Connect the positive pole of the battery and tighten with a wrench.
Connect the negative pole of the battery and tighten with a wrench.
The machine is now assembled and ready for operation.

Starting Up/Operating
1. Lower the two side brushes by pushing the thumb washer forward with
your foot until the brushes just touch the floor. (see fig. #1)
2. Adjust the height of the main sweeping brush so that the brush tips only
touch the floor lightly. The adjustment handle is on the left side of the
machine (under the dirt collector.) If the brushes are adjusted too low, this
will increase the wear on the brushes and the gear components, as well as
power consumption. (see fig. #2)
Position 1 – the highest brush position (for new, unworn rollers)
Position 5 – the lowest brush position (for worn brushes or very uneven
floors for a short period of time).
3. Turn the sweeper on by placing the safety switch on the handle to the
"1" position. (see fig. #3)
The LED’s over the switch will indicate how much of a charge is in the battery.
Green Light Sweeper is ready for operation.
Yellow Light Sweeper needs to be charged.
Red Light Turn the machine off immediately
(Turn the safety switch to "0") to keep the battery
from loosing its charge.
The safety switch will automatically turn off "0" if the motor is being overloaded.
If the motor load should become significantly higher, for example as a result of a
blockage or excessive resistance in the drive, the switch will go to the "0" posi-
tion and the sweeper will turn off. After eliminating the malfunction, the machine
may be restarted.
4. The sweeper starts moving when you carefully pull the handle towards you.
You can adjust speed by increasing or decreasing pressure on the handle.
For more areas with a heavier concentration of debris, the sweeper should
be pushed more slowly to achieve the optimum cleaning effect. Loosen the
grip on the handle slightly when going around curves to lower the speed in
the curve. To move the sweeper backwards, decrease pressure on the
handle and pull the machine in the desired location.
5. After you have finished sweeping, shut off the machine
(turn safety switch to "0.") (see fig. #3)
6. The filters must be cleaned after every use of the machine, prior to emptying
the dirt collector. There is a small knob located on top of the filter, in the
area of the dirt collector handle. Move the knob back and forth a number of
times. A vibrating mechanism will come on, loosening dirt that is sitting
between the lamellas so that it will fall directly into the dirt collector. If there
is stubborn dirt, clean the filter with a brush or remove the filter and
tap slightly. (see fig. #4)
7. Always remove the dirt collector using both hands. Put one hand in the front
handle area in the middle of the machine. Put the other hand on the upper
edge from behind. Lift the container upwards from behind. It is easiest
to empty the dirt collector over the side edge. (see fig. #5 & 6)
8. The side brushes must be put in the ‘up’ position to alleviate the load on
them and ensure they are long lasting. Push the thumb washers backward
with your foot until the brushes clear the floor. (see fig. #7)
9. The battery should be charged after each use. This will guarantee that you
will always have a machine that is ready for operation. The charging socket
is located on the lower side of the operating console. Insert the charging
plug and connect charger. Follow instructing from charger for charging
times and cautions. (see fig. #8)
