1 Introduction
This operating manual contains instructions for using the hand-operated
sweeper.
Our products are subject to continuous improvement. Therefore, design
changes that were made after this manual went to print could not be
incorporated. If you have any questions, please contact our Service
department.
The operating manual must be read and applied by all persons who
operate the sweeper.
Apart from the operating manual and the regulations for accident pre-
vention applicable in the country of use and the location of use, the
common, recognised rules for safe and technically correct working must
also be followed.
1.1 Usage conformant with intended purpose
The appliance is intended exclusively for sweeping on solid surfaces (for
example: parking areas, walkways, shop floors). The area to be swept
should not be wet.
The sweeper may only be used by reliable and instructed personnel.
Prevent children, juveniles and other unauthorised persons from using
the machine (e.g. by pulling out the key after use).
Any other use, or any use over and above that, will be considered to be
non-conformant with intended purpose. The manufacturer rejects any
and all liability for damage resulting from such use. The risk is that of the
user alone.
Usage conformant with intended purpose also includes compliance with
the operating manual and the inspection and maintenance specifica-
tions. Drive the sweeper only along expressly marked routes and spac-
es.

2 Safety information
1. The machine should only be used in a flawless state, as
well as in keeping with its intended purpose, in a safety-
conscious and risk-conscious manner and in compliance
with these operating instructions.
2. In addition to the operating manual, please heed general le-
gal and other binding regulations for accident prevention
and environmental protection.
3. Sweeping and picking up of flammable, toxic or explosive
substances, along with flammable gases or diluted acids
and solvents, burning or smouldering objects is prohibited!
4. The appliance is not suitable for picking up fluids, cables,
cords, wires or the like.
5. The machine should only be used with the dust box fitted to
prevent injuries caused by parts being slung out.
6. Transporting loads with the sweeper is not allowed.
7. Faults should be eliminated immediately, particularly those
that could impair safety.
8. Do not make any changes, modifications or additions to the
sweeper without the approval of the manufacturer.
9. Replacement parts must meet manufacturer specifications.
This is always ensured by using original replacement parts.
10. Ensure that operating media, auxiliary media and replace-
ment parts are disposed of in a safe and environmentally-
friendly manner, particularly batteries!
11. Suitable non-slip footwear should be worn to avoid acci-
dents.
12. If you have any questions, please contact our Service de-
partment.
13. Persons (including children) who are not able to use this
machine safely due to their physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities or their inexperience or lack of knowledge may not
use this machine without the supervision or instruction by a
responsible person! Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the appliance.
14. Caution: loose clothing can be caught and drawn in on rotat-
ing parts.
15. The operating instructions provided by the battery manufac-
turer relating to his product and legal specifications for the
handling of accumulator batteries should be heeded!

6 18/11/2014
16. Charge flat batteries directly after use and only in well-
ventilated rooms.
17. Keep naked flames and electrical sparks away from the
charging area, since a highly-explosive electrolytic gas mix-
ture is generated when batteries are being charged.
18. Note that the accumulator batteries are filled with battery ac-
id.
19. Batteries should always be kept clean and dry to avoid
leakage currents! Never short-circuit battery poles!
20. Smoking, eating and drinking should be avoided in the vicin-
ity of the battery charging station to avoid risks to health.
21. Batteries should only be charged with the hood opened and
secured with the holder.

3 Device Description
The Sweeping & Suction Machine is driven by electric motors. Model
STR1100EwithTRS is equipped with two pivotable side brushes. If nec-
essary, the dust stirred up by the sweeping rollers is caught by the dust
suction unit in a lamellar filter inside the machine. The lamellar filter is
cleaned by an electrically controlled filter cleaning device.

5 Maintenance
5.1 Safety Information
Only complete the type of maintenance work described in the following
chapter. All other maintenance and upkeep work may only be carried
out by the manufacturer or by companies and persons authorised by the
manufacturer, who are familiar with the relevant safety specifications,
because portable devices in industrial use are subject to the safety test
according to VDE 0701.
Closely follow the steps listed in the maintenance instructions. The im-
proper completion of maintenance tasks may result in malfunctions
when using the sweeper and may possibly render the warranty granted
null and void.
When working on the electrical system, the battery should be discon-
nected.
Maintenance work/ troubleshooting at the electric motor must not be
done while the electric motor is running.
Use only flawless and appropriate tools to complete maintenance work.
Note the requirements for spare parts (see Spare parts).
If covers and/or safety devices were removed during maintenance
work/repairs, they will have to be reattached prior to starting the sweep-
er.
For carrying out any work on the sweeper, it must be switched off and
secured from rolling away by accident.
5.2 Cleaning
The suction sweeper may only be cleaned in the off state, when it is dry.
The suction sweeper is a machine with electrical components.
Moisture damages the eletronics of the device. Moisture can result
in leaking of currents and short-circuits!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners
WARNING

5.3 Charging the Batteries
Turn off the Sweeping & Suction Machine.
Open the hood.
Secure the hood position by the hood arresting device.
Guide the hood arresting into the holes at the bottom of the hood.
Connect the charging device to the charging plug of the Sweeping &
Suction Machine.
Connect the mains plug of the charging device to a power supply
socket.
1
charging socket of Sweep-
ing & Suction Machine
2
charging plug of charging
device
The charging process lasts for approx. 10 hours when the batteries
have been completely used up (with the device originally provided by
the manufacturer).
The original charging device of the manufacturer can/should remain
connected after charging is completed, because it is equipped with a
charge saver allowing it to provide highest possible battery capacities
even after long periods of standstill.
Be careful only to use the Sweeping & Suction Machine if there is
enough voltage left in the batteries.
The machine automatically switches itself off, if the batteries are dis-
charged to such a degree that damages may arise (exhaustive dis-
charge protection)
In this case: Switch off all consumers and let the machine stand for
about one or two minutes.
Switch on the machine again and drive to the charging device (without
sweeping operation!) Charge batteries immediately to avoid possible
damage.
