Danger
Risk of injury! During work, the roller brush
can eject stones or loose chippings to-
wards the front or sides. Make sure that this
does not endanger persons, animals or ob-
jects.
Caution
Do not sweep up packing strips, wire or
similar objects as this may damage the
sweeping mechanism.
The height of the roller brush is adjusted via
a rotary knob. The height must be selected
so that the bristles just touch the ground.
Note: An adjustment that is too low leads to
overstraining the drives and unnecessary
wear of the roller brush without achieving a
better sweeping result.
