General Safety Instructions
Instructions
Please read carefully the Operating Instructions.
Familiarise with the settings and appropriate use of the
appliance. You should primarily learn to switch off the engine
quickly and safely in case of emergency
Staying in the dangerous area of the sweeper is prohibited.
Never let children or other persons not familiarised with the
Operating Instructions use the appliance.
Local regulations may lay down minimum age of the user.
Never sweep if there are other persons, especially children or
pets, around. Keep in mind the operator and user are
responsible for accidents involving other persons and their
property.
Preparation measures:
Solid boots and long trousers should always be worn when
sweeping. Never sweep when barefooted or in light sandals.
Check the area on which the appliance is being used and
remove all items that could get caught or thrown off.
Caution: Petrol is highly flammable:
Store petrol in containers designated for that purpose.
To be refuelled outdoors only.Never smoke when refuelling.
Refuel before switching the engine on.
The tank cap must not be opened and refuelling must not take
place if the engine is running or is heated to operating
temperature. Do not try to start the engine if petrol overflows.
Take the appliance off the area polluted by petrol instead. Any
attempt at operation, open fire or formation of sparks are
prohibited until petrol fumes have evaporated. The petrol tank
and other tank caps must for safety reasons be replaced if
damaged. Replace any faulty noise suppressors. A visual
inspection should always be carried out to check whether the
sweeping roll, fastening components or the entire unit are not
worn out or damaged before each use.
Safe operating height should always be adjusted on the guide
bar!
Safety instructions for first start-up
Do not let the combustion engine run in closed rooms as
dangerous carbon monoxide could accumulate there.
Sweeping should only take place in broad daylight and good
artificial lighting. Stable posture, especially in steep terrain must
always be ensured. Move the appliance at a step pace.
Be especially careful when changing the movement direction
when going up. Do not sweep in too steep positions. (max. 30° )
Stop the sweeping roll during transport. Stop the sweeping roll if
the appliance must be tipped over. Never use the sweeper if
any protective guards or grids are damaged or when not fitted.
Never adjust the guide rods when working – risk of accident!
The operator must keep distance delimited by rods when using
the sweeper for any purpose, especially when turning! It is
prohibited to stay in an area that is dangerous (pic. 24).
Do not change the engine setting and do not overspeed the
engine. Start the engine carefully, following the manufacturer
instructions. Ensure sufficient distance of your legs from the
sweeping brush. Never put hands or legs on or under rotating
parts.
Switch the engine off and pull out the socket plug (pic. 16):
•
before unlocking or releasing the sweeping roll
•
when encountering a foreign item.
Search for any damage to the sweeping roll and perform all
necessary repairs and then continue working with the sweeper.
Stop the sweeper and switch it off immediately if there are any
operating failures. Have the failure removed at once.
If there is a risk of slip on slopes, the sweeper must be held by
a rod or rope by an accompanying person. The accompanying
person must be above the appliance in sufficient distance from
the operating tools!
Work should always be taking place across the slopes if
possible!
Switch the engine off:
•
when leaving the sweeper,
•
before refuelling.
Extensions (snow shield, collection container)
Extensions can only be fitted when the engine is switched off
and drive stopped. Use appropriate tools and wear gloves when
changing the extensions and components and put the rests to
the given position and ensure good stability. Secure the
sweeper and extensions against travelling (base wedges).
Snow shield
Fit the snow shield correctly! Watch for spots of jam and cut
when turning the snow shield.
Wear nonslip shoes.
The operating speed must be adjusted to the given operating
conditions as the driver could get injured due to kinetic energy if
an obstacle is run on.
Tyres and air pressure in tyres
It is necessary to make sure the sweeper is safely put out of
operation and secured against travelling when working on
wheels. Repairs of tyres can only be performed by
professionals with appropriate assembly tools. Check regularly
the air pressure in tyres.
There is a risk of explosion when it is too high.
Maintenance and storage
Make sure all nuts, pins and screws are tightened firmly and the
appliance is in a safe operating condition.
Never store the sweeper with petrol in tank in a building where
petrol fumes can get in touch with open fire or sparks.
Allow the engine to cool down before putting the sweeper out of
operation in closed rooms.
To prevent a risk of fire, there must be no moss, grass, leaves
or leaked fat (oil) around the engine, exhaust and area near the
fuel tank.
Check regularly the functionality of the sweeper, collection
container and snow shield. For safety reasons, replace any
worn-out and damaged component.
If the fuel tank needs to be emptied, do so outdoors! Consider
the environment!

Appropriate use
The sweeper has been designed for common use in treating
surfaces and winter use (Use as designated).

risk is bore by the user. Appropriate use includes complying
with the specified conditions for operation, maintenance and
treatment.

manufacturer's warranty for damages.
