4.2 Connecting and disconnecting the sweeper
It is prohibited to connect the machine to a carrier vehicle if the hydraulic oils used are
of different grades
It is prohibited to connect the sweeper, if the mounting of the suspension system is not
compatible with the vehicle mount.
The carrier to which the machine is be connected must be technically soundand meet
the manufacturer's requirement.
Do not stand between the vehicle and the machine. The person assisting in the
operation of the sweeper must stay outside the danger zone and be visible to the
operator of the vehicle at all times.
Specially care shall be taken when connecting and disconnecting the machine.
The sweeper, when disconnected from the carrier must be supported on all three
support wheels, and stored on a flat, even, hardened ground in a place inaccessible to
any third parties and animals.
Use only the original pins to connect the machine.
When adjusting, do not place your fingers and limbs between the structural elements of
the machine.
TUZ (three-point hitch suspension system) assembly protection of the sweeper with
pins should be made only using the typical secure cotter pins. Do not use other securing
elements.
4.3 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure during operation.
Check the condition of the connectors and hydraulic lines on a regular basis; any leaks
or damage are unacceptable.
In the event of a malfunction, stop using the machine immediately until the
malfunction has been removed.
Use the oil recommended by the manufacturer. It is forbidden to use the sweeper, if a
different hydraulic oil is used in the vehicle than in the machine.

(1.) Suspension system; (2.) - Waste tank; (3.) - Sweeping roller; (4.) - Side brush; (5.) -
Hydraulic system; (6.) - Sprinkler system; (7.) - Support wheels;
The suspension system (1) of the sweeper mounted on the frame using a spindle enables it to
be turned and work in front of the carrier vehicle as well as operating at an angle. The
sweeping roller (3) driven by hydraulic motors directs debris to the waste tank (2), which is
drained from the operator's position using the hydraulic system (5). Sweepers additionally
equipped with a side brush (4) allow sweeping up against walls or curbs. The sprinkler system
(6) is controlled by the electrical system. Self-adjusting support wheels are used to support the
machine on the ground during operation (7).

The user's responsibilities related to operating the hydraulic system include:
- checking the tightness of the actuator and hydraulic connections;
- checking the technical condition of hydraulic hoses and quick couplers;
The hydraulic system should be completely leak-proof. It is required to check the sealing
locations. If any leaks are noticed, stop using the machine until the fault is rectified.
Danger
It is prohibited to carry out repairs of the hydraulic system on one's own;
repairing any defects must be performed by a trained person.
Danger
Before commencing work, reduce the residual pressure.
While working, use personal protective equipment, i.e. protective clothing,
footwear, gloves, glasses. Avoid contact of oil with eyes and skin.
In case of cuts or irritations, rinse with plenty of water and contact your
physician.
