1 Introduction
This operating manual contains instructions for using the TF130R-TRS
sweeper.
Our products are subject to continuous improvement. Therefore, design
changes that were made after this manual went to print may not be in-
corporated. If you have any questions, please contact our Service de-
partment: 0845 33 77 695.
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 TF130R-TRS 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.

3 Description of the unit
The vacuum sweeper is driven by an electric engine.
The sweeping process is carried out by two side brooms, which move
the sweepings to the two main brooms that are mounted at a 90-degree
angle to the direction of movement.
These main brooms throw the sweepings into the rear dust box.
The dust that is collected by the main brooms is held by the dust suction
system in a lamellar filter.
The lamellar filter can be cleaned by means of a filter cleaning mecha-
nism.

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.
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.
Note: Moisture damages the electronics of the device. Moisture
can result in leakage currents and short-circuits!
