Safety
See additional Safety Information at the beginning of Operating Instructions and Maintenance Instructions
Your SWB-320 is manufactured to state-of-the-art technical regulations. Despite this, it is possible that
operation will result in danger to life and limb for the operator or third parties, impairments to the machine
and other physical assets.
The machine is intended exclusively for use for brushing operations in property maintenance. Examples
of intended use are: snow clearing; sidewalk, driveway & parking lot cleaning; spring clean-up; dethatch-
ing; clearing debris from articial turf; and leaf clean-up. Any operation over and above these uses will be
considered as a non-intended use. SweepEx will not be held liable for any resulting damages. The operator
alone is responsible for any risk. Intended Use also includes observance of the Owner’s Manual and keeping
to all service and maintenance procedures.
Always keep the Owner’s Manual available at the machine’s place of work. In addition to this Owner’s
Manual, furnish all users with information regarding legal or other important regulations regarding accident
prevention. These duties can include handling hazardous materials; wearing personal safety equipment; and
trafc regulations. You should supplement this Owner’s Manual with instructions covering information related
to use of powered machinery; and operating equipment near people, other machines and trafc.
Do not smoke or have any open ame near the machine. Gasoline vapors could explode.
Only use the machine in perfect condition and according to applicable regulations. Be aware of your sur-
roundings and alert to what you are doing to reduce hazards. You should always repair faults which could
inuence the safety of the machine.
Personnel operating the machine must read the Owner’s Manual before using – especially all safety in-
formation. This includes people who occasionally work on or operate the machine such as for service and
transport. A clear understanding of how to operate the machine will reduce dangers involved with operating
powered equipment.
You must check that personnel operating the machine are paying attention to safety and hazards and under
observance of this Owner’s Manual. Operating personnel may not have long hair, or wear loose clothing or
jewelry, including rings – these items can catch and be pulled in by moving parts.
Keep all safety and hazard information for the machine complete and in readable condition. If the machine is
altered with regard to its safety or changes its operational behavior, stop operation immediately and report
the malfunction to the responsible department or person.
The SWB-320 may only be operated with brushes approved by SweepEx.
Do not carry out any alteration, addition or rebuilding to the machine which could inuence its safe opera-
tion. This especially applies to addition and alteration to safety devices and machine controls, and to welding
work on load-bearing components.
Personal protection equipment must be worn to prevent accidental injury. Observe all safety and hazard
information for the machine.
Rotating brushes cause ying debris, wear safety glasses with side protection.
Wear high-visibility clothing, especially when working around other machines, people and vehicles.
Be aware of and avoid pinch points when assembling and operating. Pinch points can exist around levers
and where two parts butt against each other.
Use barriers and trafc cones when working in areas of pedestrian and vehicle trafc to keep everything at a
safe distance.
Use genuine SweepEx parts for replacement. These meet the specic technical requirements. Observe all
deadlines indicated in the Owner’s Manual for maintenance checks and service
Suitable and adequate mechanic’s equipment is required for performing maintenance and service proce-
dures.
The SWB-320 is powered by gasoline. Know the location of re extinguishers and observe re safety proce-
dures.

Operating Instructions
General Safety / Operating in Winter
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not operate the machine in an unsafe manner! Make yourself familiar with the surroundings before start-
ing work in a new location. The working surroundings include any obstacles in the work area or on roads,
the ground load-bearing capacity and any necessary workplace safety precautions in live trafc.
Take precautions to ensure that the machine is only operated in a safe and functional condition! Only oper-
ate the machine if all protective and safety devices are present and working!
Check the machine for externally visible damage and faults before operation! If malfunctions occur stop
the machine and secure it immediately! Repair malfunctions immediately! Only start the machine from the
operator’s position! Ensure that no one can be endangered by starting the machine before switching it on or
operating it!
Check that braking, steering, and brushing are fully functional before operation!
Before operating the machine, always check that accessories are tted correctly! Always observe applicable
trafc regulations before operating on public roads, paths or parks, and ensure that the machine is in a
condition suitable for use in trafc
Always ensure that suitable lighting is available before working in poor light or darkness! Always keep a suf-
cient distance between the machine and drop-offs, holes or slopes!
Do not permit any method of working which will affect the stability of the machine!
Never traverse across slopes; always travel up and down, not across.
Adjust the speed to suit the conditions on inclines! Change gear before the incline, not on it! Always secure
the machine against rolling away and unauthorized operation before leaving it unattended!
OPERATING IN WINTER
Check regularly that the air lter is dry. If the air lter has become wet, let it dry overnight. There is a pos-
sibility of the engine not starting due to a clogged air lter.
Spray the throttle cable with silicone spray at both ends, and the throttle linkage before operating to prevent
the cable or throttle mechanism from freezing up.
Before putting the machine away, sweep it clear of snow.
Avoid freezing the machine. Store the machine in a frost-free room.
Silicone Spray attracts dust and binds it to the machine. It is only a suitable lubricant in wintry and snowy
conditions.
Do not spray Silicone Spray on hot engine. It could cause a re. Follow the instructions on the spray can.
Remove Foam Pre-Filter.
Use SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Discharge Direction
There are ve different settings available for the discharge direc-
tion.
Here: Forward Discharge Direction. The swept material will heap up
in front of the brushes. You should give preference to angled brush
settings.
With an angled setting, the material will be swept to one side.
Here: Material will be discharged to the left.
To adjust brush angle: Lift the lever; Turn the brush in the desired
direction; Release the lever and ensure the lever is latched in
place.
Here: Material will be discharged to the right.
A sideways setting is recommended if using the optional Debris
Collector Box. This will allow sweeping against a wall or curb.
A sideways setting is recommended if using the optional Debris
Shield. This will allow sweeping against a wall or curb.

Operating Instructions
Sweeping
Lift up the brushes by pushing down on the handlebars. Engage
the brushes.
Engage the movement drive. Just follow behind the machine.
Carefully lower the brushes to the ground.
Set the speed by using the throttle lever. Do not try to hold the
machine back or push it.
IMPORTANT
The pressure adjusts automatically to the ground prole. However, you can inuence the brush pressure by either pulling back
or pushing on the handlebar. Pulling the handlebar back decreases the pressure; pushing will increase the pressure (for heavily
soiled areas).
When sweeping dust, use a low brush speed (low throttle).
When using the Debris Collector Box or the Debris Shield, use a medium speed (half-throttle).
If the brush pressure is too heavy, the cleaning effect is decreased because the brush bers are bent too much.
