Operating the
KS 27 M
All controls are identified by easy-to-
understand symbols which will help
you to get familiar with the machine.
The KS 27 M uses two
brooms. The dish-type side broom
feeds the matter swept to the main
broom. The main broom is rotating
against the direction of travel of the
machine and throws the dirt into the
dirt hopper located at the forward
end.
Both brooms are driven by the ma-
chine wheels.
A jackwheel will guarantee uniform
ground clearance and perfect swee-
ping. The broom housing uses rubber
seals all around to seal it against the
floor surface. At the forward end, the
broom housing is
closed by the dirt hopper, at the rear
end a large rubber lip is assembled.
If any part of the floor shall be omit-
ted (smeared floor or transport), just
lift both brooms from the floor by de-
pressing the handlebar. Steps and
stairs are easily overcome by the
KS 27 M. The large wheels extend bey-
ond the rear end of the machine. This
means that all usual obstacles are
overcome by pulling the machine
”uphill“ or pushing it ”downhill“.
The handlebar is folding to ease
transportation or storage of
the KS 27 M.
For folding, loosen both wingbolts a
few turns, expand the handlebar
structure and fold forward.
