Driving the sweeper for the first time
Select a location with plenty of space to drive the sweeper initially, until you
become familiar with the individual operating controls and their functions.
All directions given (left/right, front/rear) are as seen from the driver’s seat.
n Sit down on the driver’s seat.
The engine cannot be started unless the driver is sitting on the seat
(seat contact switch).
As soon as the driver gets up from the seat, the engine cuts out
(safety shutdown).

– Press button
n Raise the side brush 2.
– Press button
n Apply the parking brake 3.
n If engine is cold
– pull cold-start lever 7 (choke).
n Set throttle lever 5 to approx. 1/3 max. speed.
n Start engine
– turn ignition key 4 clockwise until engine starts.
n When engine is running smoothly, push cold-start lever 7 back in.
Setting off
Note:
If the sweeper has not been used for longer than 2 months, run the engine for
a few minutes with the unit in neutral before commencing work.
n Set the throttle lever 5 to operating speed (maximum revs., lever pushed
towards the rear.)
n Release the parking brake 3.
– Press the release button and push the lever downwards.
n Depress drive pedal slowly
– 6a Machine drives forward
– 6b Machine reverses
The speed at which the sweeper travels forwards or backwards is infinitely
variable and is controlled by applying pressure to the drive pedal.
Avoid pressing the drive pedal with a jerky movement, otherwise the hydraulic
system could be damaged as a result.
Negotiate slopes with engine at full speed but sweeper travelling slowly (drive
pedal pressed only ½ way down).
Braking
n Lift your foot off the drive pedal 6a/6b and the sweeper brakes automatical-
ly.
Avoid braking the sweeper abruptly by pressing the pedal against the
direction of travel, as this could cause damage to the hydraulic system.
Bringing the sweeper to a halt and stopping the engine
n Lift your foot off the drive pedal 6a/6b. The sweeper brakes automatically
and comes to a halt.
n Set the throttle lever 5 to minimum revs. (push lever forwards).
n Apply the parking brake 3.
n It is very important that you raise the brush roller and side brush so that
the bristles do not become damaged.
n Stop the engine.
– Turn the ignition key 4 anticlockwise to position 0 and pull it out.
After the engine has been switched off, the filter is automatically clea-
ned for approx. 10 seconds.
