3 Eco Sweeping Machine
3.1 Description of the product and accesso-
ries
The sweeping machine is designed for both pickup and
open sweeping usage. By unmounting the dirt collection
vessel, the machine is converted to the open sweeping
mode.
The frame is made of a robust and torsion-free welded
construction.
The brushes are adjusted via the height-adjustable sup-
port wheels.
An external, high-powered hydraulic motor, equipped with
a collision protector, directly drives the sweeping drum.
The revolution speed of the sweeping drum depends on
theoilowandontheequipmentofthecarriervehicle.
The standard equipment includes a PP drum brush with a
diameter of 520 mm.
An abrasion-proof Vulkollan rail is connected to the lower
edge of the dirt collection vessel across its entire length. It
is intended for improved dirt collection. This way, the coll-
ector vessel is guided evenly and without damage across
the ground.
The opening and closing of the dirt collection vessel is ac-
complished from the carrier vehicle. It is operated via a
bowden control or by operating a hydraulic cylinder.
The Eco sweeping machine is equipped with a direct at-
tachment option that matches the carrier vehicle. The re-
spective attachment type is connected to the machine fra-
me via a swivel construction.
The pendulum compensation ensures a level-compensa-
ting usage, even on uneven ground.
With the mechanical or hydraulic side adjustment, the
sweeping machine may be swivelled by 20° to the right or
to the left.
Accessories
• extra sturdy castor wheels
• dirt collection vessel with me-
chanical emptying.
• Vulkollan rail on the dirt collec-
tion vessel for improved guid-
ance across the ground.
• hydraulic emptying of the collec-
tion vessel
• 3rd support wheel for even
ground guidance, height-adjust-
able
• hydraulic side adjustment, incli-
nation of the sweeping machine
using a hydraulic cylinder. This
requires a double-acting control
valve on the carrier vehicle.

General storage
Accident hazard! Hydraulic hoses and bowden con-
trol are a tripping hazard on the ground. Put the hy-
draulic hoses and the bowden control across the
sweeping machine.
Close the hydraulic connector with the dust
cap. Soiling leads to damage on the hydraulic
system.
If necessary, clean the sweeping machine
thoroughly. Dirt attracts humidity and leads to
the formation of rust.
