Typical applications
!
Caution while sweeping!
Do not sweep up packing bands, wires or similar items,
otherwise the sweeping mechanism will be damaged.
Do not sweep any burning/glowing objects.
For cleaning even surfaces
– set the lever for the main brush roller to the middle
position (minimum brush wear).
For cleaning uneven surfaces
– set the lever for the main brush roller to the lower
position (increased brush wear).
– switch on blower fan for dust extraction
– for cleaning right up to the edges – lower the side brush
.
If you are sweeping up fine dust, use the side brush as
little as possible as it will increase the amount of dust
stirred up by the sweeper.
If the side brush encounters an obstacle, it automati-
cally swivels back inside the outer contours of the
sweeper. Avoid collisions!
– To protect the filter from getting damp when sweeping
wet surfaces, switch off the dust extraction
Picking up larger items (sticks, tins, etc.)
!
Caution!
When the bulk waste flap is open, stones or grit could be
thrown forwards by the main brush. Make sure therefore
that when you open the flap no persons, animals or
property are endangered.
– Open the bulk waste flap by hand.
– Drive over the items to be picked up, at low speed and
with the bulk waste flap open.
Note: In order to avoid stirring up dust unnecessarily, the
bulk waste flap should be open for short periods only.
Overcoming obstacles
Obstacles up to 2 cm in height can be driven over without
any problems. Before you do so, open the bulk waste flap
and raise the main brush.
Obstacles more than 2 cm in height can be only be driven
over with the aid of a suitable ramp.
