Directions for unloading

Do not use a fork-lift truck for unloading the ! sweeper as the sweeper can sustain damage

in this way.

The sweeper has been fastened to a pallet for safe transport. Proceed as follows for unpacking it:

1.Remove wooden boards from the pallet and nail them to the abutments of the pallet (front end of the sweeper)

2.Remove strap attachments at the abutment points

3.Knock away the wooden blocks for locking the wheels and use them for supporting the wooden boards on right and left

4.Push the sweeper off the pallet over the ramp that has been created

In sweepers with installed battery (1.091-111) it is possible to drive down the ramp. To do this, open motor

cover and fold it back. Put gear lever into position (slow), and close the cover again. Insert battery plug connection (at driver’s seat). Key switch to “Position 1” anddrivedowncarefully-seeinadditionchapter “Driving trials” and “Stopping the sweeper and switching off”.

5.The side brush is tied to the frame for transportation purposes. Undo the string.

–Unhook the rods for the seat tilting device.

–Undo the 4 attachment screws

–Move the seat to the desired position.

–Tighten the screws and hook the rods back into the tilting device.

Initial driving trials

Carry out initial driving trials in an area where there is plenty of free space until you are familiar with the individual operating controls and their functions.

All indications of direction (right/left, front/rear) are given in relation to the direction of travel as seen from the driver’s seat.

–Sit on the driver’s seat.

The sweeper cannot be started until the driver has sat down (seat contact switch). As soon as driver gets up from the seat, the safety shut-down comes into force and the drive control, blower fan and main brush roller drive are disconnected.
