Our continuous efforts towards an improvement
of the Kompakt sweeping machine may
lead to changes in detail. The introduction of
improvements does not, however, oblige us to
carry out these improvements on a Kompakt

1.1 Purpose
The Kompakt sweeping machine is designed especially for
frontal attachment and is intended for the following series:
MK / HK => attachment via coupling triangle;
MD / HD => attachment via 3-point linkage;
HH => attachment to yard loader;
Because of its robust construction and the various
operating widths, this sweeping machine is suitable for the
use on streets, cycle tracks and squares.
The attachment of the Kompakt sweeping machine is
accomplished via drive-in insertion into the coupling
triangle, attachment to the 3-point linkage, attachment
plate for local government vehicles or yard loader
receptacle.
Through hydraulic opening of the large-volume dirt
collection vessel, the Kompakt sweeping machine may
also be used as an open sweeping machine to sweep
large sealed surfaces.
Various optional equipment allows for the Kompakt
sweeping machine to be adapted to different working
environments. This optional equipment includes, e.g., the
water spraying device to bind dust, a side broom to sweep
close to edges, a hydraulic side adjustment to ease the
work, or reinforced castors, etc.

1.2.9 Description of the product and accessories
The sweeping machine is designed for both pickup and
open sweeping usage. Open sweeping is achieved by
turning over a tap on the machine's roof without having to
unmount the dirt collection vessel.
The opening and closing of the dirt collection vessel is
accomplished from the carrier vehicle. The vessel is
operated via a hydraulic cylinder.
The sweeping drum is suspended in the frame using a
raster lever system. The sweeping drum is adjusted via
the raster levers. The adjustments ensure a continuously
good sweeping result.
honeycomb-shaped brush made from 100% PP. The brush
is 520 mm in diameter.
The frame of the Kompakt sweeping machine is made of a
robust and torsion-free welded construction.
With the mechanical or hydraulic side adjustment, the
sweeping machine may be rotated by 20° to the right or to
the left.
The Kompakt sweeping machine is equipped with a direct
attachment option that matches the carrier vehicle. The
respective attachment type is connected to the machine
frame via a swivel construction.
The level compensation between machine frame and
swivel console ensures optimal sideway compensation on
highly uneven ground.
The pendulum joint between swivel console and
receptacle ensures an optimal compensation on very
uneven ground.

1.2.10 Intended usage
You may attach and operate the Kompakt sweeping
machine only if you:
- have carefully read and understood the operating
manual
- have the respective technical training
- are authorised by your employer to do this.
The Kompakt sweeping machine is used for cleaning
sealed surfaces (such as roads, paths, parking areas, and
yards) with normal soiling.
Proper usage includes the observance of the operating,
maintenance and repair conditions that we prescribe.
If the machine is used for a purpose different from the
one above, we, as the manufacturer, do not take any
responsibility for the safety; the risk in this respect rests
entirely with the user.

2.3 Dangers in the case of nonobservance of
the safety notices
The nonobservance of the safety notes will cause hazards
for both persons and the environment as well as the
machine. The nonobservance of the safety notices results
in the loss of all claims for damage whatsoever.
In detail, nonobservance, for example, leads to the
following hazards:
• failure of important machine functions
• hazards to persons due to mechanical and chemical
• hazards to the environment due to leakage of hydraulic
oil
2.4 Safety-oriented work
The
- safety notices listed in this operating manual,
- current national accident avoidance regulations
as well as
- company-internal regulations governing work, operation,
and safety
that apply must be followed
The safety notices of the vehicle manufacturer must be
followed. Note the permitted axle loads.
The accident insurance regulations governing safety at
work and accident avoidance are binding.
When operating on public roads, the appropriate legal
regulations (in the Federal Republic of Germany the
StVZO and StVO) must be complied with.

2.5 Safety notes for the operator/user
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all
equipment, operating elements and their functions.
Observe permitted axle load, gross weight, and transport
dimensions.
Illuminate the working area properly when working at night
or in bad visibility.
Before starting operation, familiarise yourself with
the current version of the bulletin for accessory
equipment issued by the Bundesministerium für
Verkehr, Bau und Wohnungswesen (German
ministry for transport, construction and housing).
Attachment
Check attachment receptacle and its interlocking
mechanism for damage prior to attachment. Have all
damage repaired immediately.
Before start-up, check the attachment receptacle of the
sweeping machine and its interlocking mechanisms for
During attachment, put the supports into their respective
position.
Attach the Kompakt sweeping machine only if the power
take-off / hydraulic drive is switched off.
Check the shield of the drive shaft and replace it in case of
damage before attachment.
During the attachment, follow the operating manual of the
carrier vehicle! Only one example is described and shown
here for each case.

Transport trips
sweeping machine!
Check and attach or replace transport equipment at the
carrier vehicle - such as, e.g., additional illumination,
warning equipment and possible protective equipment.
If lighting that is part of the standard carrier vehicle
is obscured in the transport position of the sweeping
machine, you must attach additional illumination to the
carrier vehicle.
No passengers may be carried on the sweeping machine
during transport trips.
For the transport, the power take-off shaft / hydraulic
equipment for operating and lowering the sweeping
machine must be secured against accidental operation.
Your Kompakt sweeping machine changes the driving
into account when transporting the machine.
Operation
Start the Kompakt sweeping machine only if all safety
equipment is attached and in protection position.
No person may be present in the area of operation. Check
the immediate area before starting to drive and before

Safety
Conversion
the power take-off / hydraulic drive is switched off. Pull
the ignition key and secure the carrier vehicle against
unintended restart and movement!
Start the Kompakt sweeping machine only if all safety
equipment is re-attached and in protection position.
Detachment
Before leaving the carrier vehicle, lower the sweeping
machine to the ground, pull the ignition key and secure
the carrier vehicle against unintended start-up and rolling
away!
During detachment, the supports must be put into their
respective position.
After switching off the device there is danger due to the
continued movement of the centrifugal mass. Wait until all
parts have come to a standstill.
For hydraulic components only
Only connect the hydraulic hoses if the vehicle hydraulics
are depressurized. Wear protective gloves when
deconnecting the hoses as the hydraulic connectors can
become extremely hot and there is a risk of burns!
Before start-up, check the positioning of the hydraulic
hoses, as damages occur easily if hydraulic hoses get
entangled or squashed.
Replace hydraulic hoses no later than after 6 years of
usage (including storage time of at most 2 years).
Regularly check the hydraulic hoses with suitable devices
and replace them in case of damage and ageing.
Liquids (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure
penetrate the skin and cause severe injuries. In case of
injury, visit a doctor immediately. Danger of infection!
The replacement hoses must comply with the technical
requirements of the manufacturer.
Leakages represent a danger to the environment and
must be removed immediately.

If your sweeping machine is equipped with a hydraulic
cylinder for inclination, operate the cylinder only if no
persons are present in the area of rotation. Squashing and
shear points are present on hydraulically operated parts.
2.6 Basic safety instructions for drive shaft
operation
The operator must ensure that the user of the machine
has familiarised himself with the hazards of handling
drive shafts through detailed study of the drive shaft
manufacturer's operating manual.
Only operate the working machine with original drive
length, size, type of overload or overriding# clutch and
accident prevention measures. A non-intended use of drive
shaft and overload or overriding clutch is not permitted.
Check before each use whether all accident prevention
devices have been attached properly at the drive shaft,
tractor and machine and whether they are functional.
