NOTE
1 General
The present operating instructions are valid for the Sweeper PLUS 560.
1.1
Intended applications
The Sweeper PLUS 560 is designed for the attachment to wheel loaders and construction
machinery.
Because of its robust construction and the various working widths, this sweeper is suited for
permanent use on roads and paths.
The Sweeper PLUS 560 can be mounted via the mechanically or hydraulically operated
quick hitch unit of the respective carrier vehicle, fitting a pallet fork arm into fork pockets,via
an A-frame or a three-point linkage.
The basic version of the Sweeper PLUS 560 comes as a simple sweeping model (without dirt
hopper) and is therefore suitable for cleaning large paved areas.
The various items of additional equipment, such as the dirt hopper with an integrated 3rd
support wheel, the water-spraying system for dust binding, one or two side brushes for
sweeping near edges, a hydraulical lateral adjustment in order to facilitate operation, extra
strong guide rollers, side marker lights and warning flags, permit adaptation to different
working environments.

•
Are summarised in the following sub-chapters.
2.4.1 General safety and accident prevention instructions
•
Besides the safety instructions in this chapter, also observe the generally applicable national
safety and accident prevention instructions.
•
Wear your personal protective equipment when working on the sweeper.
•
Observe the warning information and instructions affixed to the sweeper. They will supply you with
important advice for safety-oriented and trouble -free operation of the sweeper.
•
Besides the basic safety instructions of this chapter, also observe the activity related safety
instructions of the other chapters.
•
Instruct people to leave the surroundings of the sweeper before moving it or setting the sweeper
into operation. Pay special attention to children.
•
Do not carry persons or objects on the vehicle. The transport of persons or objects on the sweeper
is prohibited.
•
Drive in such a manner that the vehicle with the attached sweeper is always under safe control.
•
Take into account your personal capabilities, the road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions, the
driving characteristics of the vehicle, as well as the influence of the sweeper.
a)
Coupling and uncoupling the sweeper
•
Couple and transport the sweeper only with a carrier vehicle that is suited for the purpose.
•
Couple the sweeper to the specified equipment in the prescribed manner.
Safety information
2-12
•
Ensure that the following values are not exceeded when coupling the sweeper to the front of the
vehicle:
The permissible overall weight of the vehicle,
The permissible axle loads of the vehicle,
The permissible support load at the point of coupling of the vehicle,
The permissible trailer load of the coupling attachment,
The permissible tyre load capacity of the vehicle.
•
Secure the vehicle and sweeper against rolling away before coupling or uncoupling the sweeper.
•
Persons are not permitted to be between vehicle and sweeper when the vehicle moves towards
the sweeper.
Those present may only be there to give directions next to the vehicles and are only to step
between the vehicles when the latter are stationary.
•
During coupling and uncoupling, secure the required support equipment into the support position
(stability).
•
When activating the support equipment, be aware of the danger of crushing and shearing action.
•
Be particularly careful when coupling to or uncoupling the sweeper from the vehicle. Between the
vehicle and the sweeper there are points where crushing or shear-action could occur in the area
around the couplings.
•
Persons are not allowed to be positioned between the vehicle and sweeper when operating the
three-point hydraulics.
•
Check the coupled supply lines. Coupled supply lines:
mustbe able to easily accommodate all movements when drivinground curves without tension,
bending or rubbing.
must not rub against other components.
•
Always position the uncoupled sweeper so that it is stable (cannot fall over).
b)
Use of the sweeper
•
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the equipment and operating elements of the
sweeper as well as with their functions. Trying to do this while working on it is too late
•
Wear tight-fitting clothing. Loose clothing increases the danger of catching onto or winding round
drive shafts.
•
Operate the attachment only if all protective devices have been fitted and positioned to provide
protection.
•
Note the maximum loading of the sweeper and the permissible axle and support loads of the
vehicle. If possible, drive with only partly filled load compartment.
•
The presence of persons is prohibited:
in the working / hazard area of the sweeper,
in the dirt ejection region of the sweeper,
within the rotation and swinging areas of movable parts of the sweeper,
under raised and unsecured movable parts of the sweeper.
Safety information
2-13
•
There are squashcrushing and shear-action points on moving parts of the sweeper operated by
external-forces (e.g. hydraulics)
•
You must only activate external-force operated parts of the sweeper when there is no person
present in the hazard area of the sweeper.
•
Secure the vehicle against inadvertent starting and rolling, before leaving the vehicle.
•
Support raised covers securely before staying under the raised covers.
c)
Transporting the sweeper
•
Before transporting check:
The proper connection of the supply lines,
The hydraulic system for obvious defects,
•
Always ensure sufficient steering and braking ability of the vehicle.
The sweeper attached to the vehicle and the rear loads influence the movement ability as well as
the steering and braking of the vehicle.
•
Use rear weights if required
•
Always fix the rear weights to the provided fixing points according to the instructions.
•
Take into account the maximum loading of the attached sweeper and the permissible axle and
support loads of the vehicle.
•
Check the braking before moving off. The vehicle must achieve the prescribed braking interval for
the combination of vehicle plus sweeper.
•
When driving round curves with attached sweeper take the broad slewing radius and the
centrifugal mass of the sweeper into account.
•
Avoid sudden swerves, in particular when driving on a slope, uphill, downhill or across the axis of
the slope.
•
Before transporting place all movable parts of the sweeper into transport position.
•
Before transporting secure all movable parts of the sweeper are in their transport position. For
this purpose make use of the transport fixings provided.
•
Adapt your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.
2.4.2 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is at high pressure.
•
Ensure correct connection of the hydraulic hose lines.
•
When connecting the hydraulic hose lines, ensure that the hydraulic system of the vehicle
is de-pressurised.
•
Do not block any operating levers on the vehicle that serve for direct operation of hydraulic or
electrical movement of components, e.g. folding, swinging and pushing processes.
The respective movements must stop automatically when the corresponding levers are released.
This does not apply to movements of equipment:
that are continuous,
Safety information
2-14
that are automatically regulated,
that require a floating or pressure loaded position due to their function.
•
Before working on the hydraulic system:
lower the sweeper,
secure raised movable parts of the sweeper against unintended lowering,
depressurise the hydraulic system,
switch off engine of the vehicle,
apply the parking brake,
remove the ignition key.
•
Have the hydraulic hoses checked for operating safety and condition at least once a year by an
expert.
•
Replace any hydraulic hoses with obvious defects, damage and ageing. Use only original
hydraulic hose lines.
•
The period of use of the hydraulic hose lines must not exceed six years including a possible
storage time of at most two years.
Hoses and hose connections are subject to natural ageing even with proper storage and
permissible level of use, so that their storage time and period of use are limited. Deviations this
period of use can be determined according to the experience values, especially when taking the
hazard potential into account. The same guidelines apply for hoses and hydraulic hose lines in
thermoplastic materials.
•
Never attempt to seal leaking hydraulic hose lines with your hand or fingers!
Escaping high pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) may pass through the skin and ingress into the
body, causing serious injuries!
In the case of injury from hydraulic oil, contact a doctor immediately. Danger of infection.
•
Because of the possible serious infection danger, never feel for leaks with the naked hand. When
searching for possible leaks use suitable aids (cleaning spray, special leak-searching spray).
2.4.3 Sweeper
•
Only one person may operate the sweeper. Instruct people to leave the hazard zone of the sweeper.
•
It is prohibited:
To climb onto the upper container edge of the collecting container,
To climb or reach into the collecting container hopper when the motor is running.
•
It is prohibited for anyone to remain within the sweeper working area.
Danger due to objects flung out of the sweeper discharge opening.
•
Warn people leave the working area of the sweeper before operating the sweeper.
•
Do not put any foreign objects in the collecting hopper.
