3.3. Designation
Sweeper is designed to sweep up and at the same time pick up impurities from surfaces such
as: roads, squares and sidewalks covered with asphalt, concrete or paved. Sweeper can be used to
sweep into one direction, upon previous dismounting of container for impurities, e.g. for winter
maintenance of roads, squares, sidewalks. Using the machine for any other purpose shall be
considered as misuse.
Sweeper is not recommended to be used for treating surfaces, on which such objects are
found: cut pieces of ropes, threads, hair, etc. The abovementioned impurities can cause embroiling
of these onto sweeps, what in consequence will lead to impairing the machine's overall capacity.
NOTE:
Do not use the machine for purposes other than abovementioned.
Well-proven design and quality materials ensure high reliability and durability of SaMASZ
machines.

 mount the sweeper onto 3-point linkage frame,
 connect hydraulic hoses from the sweeper to tractor's hydraulic assembly keeping order for
hoses with red marking POWER, hose with yellow/green marking OUTFLOW,
 lift the sweeper up so that sweeps do not touch the road surface; move support into up position,
the same applies to traction system,
 with use of central link, being part of tractor's equipment, set the sweeper parallel to the road
surface (surface to be cleaned),
 examine whether sweep rotates in the right direction (the same as arrow direction Fig. 5),
 with rotating sweep lower the sweeper until it slightly touches the road surface,
 immobilize sweeps and lower traction system,
 using guides, on which container is mounted and Roman screw of latch, set the container
parallel to the ground 5 to 7 cm high, keeping the same distance between the sweep and
container's edge (Fig. 6); pressure of sweeps onto the surface provides proper impurity removal;
it is improved thanks to shifting the traction system up and down.
NOTE:
Too big a sweep pressure onto the surface will lead to their premature
wearing.
In order to empty the container:
 lift the sweeper up for about 30 cm and pull the link,
 when driving the tractor forward slowly lower the sweeper on the ground and the container will
be closed automatically.
