2. PURPOSE OF USE
Collecting sweepers are used for cleaning streets and yards of different size.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure you know your equipment before you start using it. Equipment may be operated only by an individual who is
thoroughly familiar with its use.
Before connecting hydraulics to the base machine, make sure that:
-there is no-one between the attachment and the base machine
-the base machine is turned off and the parking brake is on.
When coupling the attachment to the base machine, make sure that:
-all locking cotters are intact and in order
-hydraulic hoses are intact
-there is no skin contact to hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses
-you do not to pull by the hydraulic hoses, but only by the hydraulic fitting.
During operation, pay attention to:
-safe, appropriate travel speed
-other traffic, people and animals
-danger zones and objects that block your view
-children
-use of turn signal when driving
NEVER use the machine, if there is someone in the danger zone
NEVER go under the attachment
During maintenance, the hydraulics of the base machine MUST be turned off. The base machine MUST also be turned
off and the parking brake MUST be applied. The equipment must be properly supported, if maintenance can only be
performed by going under the equipment. Never go under the equipment if it is not properly supported.
Daily maintenance:
-check general condition of structures, make repairs if needed
-check the hydraulic hoses and fittings, and replace damaged parts
WARNING! Rotating rollers!
WARNING! Pressurized hydraulic hoses and components!

Sivu 6 / 23
After every 50 hours of operation:
-lubricate points specified in section 8.6.
-check all bolts and nuts for tightness
Check all bolts, nuts and hydraulic fittings for tightness after the first day of operation!
If the equipment is not likely to be used for a longer period of time, clean it thoroughly after use and lubricate as
instructed.

4. IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION AND
SPAREPARTS
4.1. Identification plate
Identification plate is placed on the side of the equipment. The plate includes contact information, machine type, year of
manufacture, serial number and weight. (See an example of an identification plate in picture 1 below).
The first four numbers in the serial number indicate the month and year of manufacture (month first). The remaining five
numbers constitute the machine tracking number, which is stored in the manufacturer’s database (13971 in the example
below).
Picture 1. Identification plate
Take down the machine type and the serial number of your collecting sweeper:
Product and model _______________________________Serial number___________________________________
4.2. Maintenance services
When replacing parts, use original, manufacturer spare parts only. By using original spare parts, you ensure dependable
operation of the colleting sweeper and comply with the warranty policy. To facilitate the supply of spare parts, always
inform the manufacturer/dealer of the model and serial number of the collecting sweeper (marked in the identification
plate) when you order spare parts.
For more information on maintenance and spare parts, please contact the STARK maintenance and spare part services

6. ATTACHING THE COLLECTING SWEEPER
When attaching the collecting sweeper for the first time, make sure it is compatible with the base machine by following
the instructions below. Always check the compatibility when attaching the collecting sweeper to a new base machine.
6.1. Attaching the collecting sweeper to a base machine
The collecting sweeper is attached to the base machine by bolt-on STARK FIT quick hitches which in turn are attached
to the floating frame. The machine is connected to a 2- or 4-hose hydraulic system (hydraulic circuit diagrams are shown
in section 9 in this manual). Ask your dealer for available STARK FIT quick hitches.
Before using the collecting sweeper, MAKE SURE all locking cotters are secured and intact.
When coupling the collecting sweeper to the base machine, please pay attention to the instructions on the use of the
base machine.
1. Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and
electricity.
2. The bucket sweeper is attached to the coupler on the base machine (e.g. a loader). Attach the bucket sweeper to the
base machine, and make sure the locking cotters are secured. Apply parking brake.
3. Turn off the base machine and make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Make sure there is no pressure in the base machine hydraulic system. When connecting, always make sure the
hydraulic connectors are clean and the hoses are intact.
5. Check carefully the movement paths between the coupling mechanism, the base machine and the attachment for
collisions. Test the base machine and the loader by doing all movements to the end in order to make sure that the
sweeper won’t collide with the base machine. Check also the space needed for hydraulic hoses and connectors. Check
that the brush roll rotates in the direction of the sweeper. If not, switch hose locations in the base machine.
6. The rotating speed of the brush roller can be adjusted by the flow control valve. Usually, appropriate speed is set by
using positions 2-10. If the base machine has a flow control feature, turn the flow control valve to position 10.
7. During the first hours of operating the attachment, bolts, nuts and connectors might loosen up. Retighten them after
the first day of operating the attachment.
