Checking the hydraulic system

Replacing the sealing skirts

The sealing skirts fulfil an important function. They retain the partial vacuum in the area round the main brush roller which is essential so that the sweeper can function properly. They ensure that sweeping can take place without clouds of dust being raised.

If the sealing skirts are damaged or worn out, they must be replaced immediately.

–Park the sweeper and switch off the engine.

–Remove the retaining screws and detach the sealing skirts.

–Fit new skirts, and align them as follows:

The side skirts should be adjusted so that they clear the ground by 1–3 mm. Adjust the rear skirt so that it clears the ground by 1-5 mm.

–The front skirt cannot be adjusted. Replace the skirt as soon as you see signs of excessive wear.

–Tighten the retaining screws.

Replacing the side brush

–Park the sweeper, switch it off and make it secure.

–Raise the side brush.

–Remove the three hex-socket bolts (SW 5).

–Detach the side brush.

–Push the new side brush onto the drive pin.

–Tighten the bolts again.
