filter.
Useful Tips
ŸNever sweep long packing straps, ropes, threads, twines or wires as it could get
entangled with the main and side broom and damage its mechanism.
ŸMake sure the area to be sweep is dry.
ŸLarge debris which cannot be swept should be placed in the hopper manually.
ŸRemove the hopper in a non windy area to avoid dust from flying.
ŸFor optimum cleaning results, match the driving speed with the area to be swept.
ŸSwitch off suction fan if sweeping in a damp area as it may damage the filter.
