Injury hazard!
No person or animal should be allowed to stand in the area traversed by the hopper while it is
being emptied.
Danger of being crushed!
Do not reach into the shafts and linkage of the emptying mechanism.
Do not stand under the hopper.
Risk of sweeper toppling over!
If the sweeper is standing on a slope with a gradient of more than 5%, it could topple over while
the hopper is being emptied. The hopper should therefore only be emptied when the gradient at
the location where the sweeper is standing is less than 5% for the direction in which it is facing.
n Stop the sweeper.

n Park the sweeper and switch off the engine.
n Remove the retaining screws and detach the sealing
skirts.
n Fit new skirts, and align them as follows:
The side skirts should be adjusted so that they clear the
ground by 1–3 mm.
Direction of travel
The rear skirt should be adjusted so that they clear the
ground by 1–5 mm.
n The front skirt cannot be adjusted. Replace the skirt as
soon as you see signs of excessive wear.
n Tighten the retaining screws.
Replacing the side brush
n Park the sweeper and switch off the engine.
n Raise the side brush.

Operating cycle
Under favourable conditions, the sweeper has an operating
cycle of 3 hours with a full fuel tank at the start. The actual
time is dependent upon several factors:
– surface structure of the ground and how level it is
– how well the sweeper has been maintained
– type of brush roller and its degree of wear.
