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, and 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 withthe 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!

TF100-TRS 5
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.
2.1 Safety Devices
The suction sweeper cannot be started unless:
the key-operated switch is in the ON position (1);
the main panelling has been closed properly.
The power supply to motor will be interrupted, if
you open the main panelling;
you turn the key-operated switch to the OFF (O) position.

3 Device Description
3.1 Device Description
An electric motor drives the ride-on-suction-sweeper which includes
forward and reverse movement.
The sweeping mechanism of the TF100R-TRS features two side brush-
es which carry the refuse to two main brooms that are mounted parallel
to the direction of motion.
These project the sweepings overhead into the dustcontainer positioned
behind it.
A separate electric motor drives the roller brushes.
If necessary, the dust stirred up by the Main Brooms is caught by the
dust suction unit in a lamellar filterinside the machine.
The lamellar filter is cleaned by an electrically controlledfilter cleaning
device.
If necessary the dust extraction can be closed off with a diaphragm to
protect the filter from humidity.

LED`s
When the ride-on-suction-sweeper is switched on the red LED flashes
five times. Subsequently the electronic system of the ride-on-
suctionsweeper carries out a self-testing operation of the battery charg-
ing state.
The result of this self-testing is displayed by the 5 LED`s.
Information provided by LED indicators on the battery condition display:,
4.5 Turning Off the ride-on-suction-sweeper
Make sure the suction sweeper is on level ground when you loosen
the parking brake, or secure the suction sweeper to prevent acci-
dental rolling!
Depress the brake pedal.
Lock the brake by pulling the locking lever towards the driver's seat.
When the brake now is relieved the brake pedal must remain in de-
pressed position.
Set position of direction of motion switch to neutral position.

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.
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 leakage currents and short-circuits.!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners
5.2.1 Operating the Filter Cleaning Device
The filter cleaning device prevents the lamellar filter from being blocked
by debris.
