Installation / first start-up
Take the sweeper out of package and fit the upper bar (pic. 1;
pos. 2) first using the supplied binder screws (pic. 1; pos. 8).
The binder screws can be fitted according to pic. 1.
If the binder screws are locked, safe operating height can be
adjusted for the given user. Now install the guide bar according
to pic. 1; pos. 3.
And mount the fixing pin (pic.1; pos. 7) to the sweeping roll
baffle plate (use screws/nuts pic. 2 pos. 16/18)
Collection container installation
Remove the collection tank components from the separate
package and assemble as described below (positions apply to
pic. 2a/2b)
1. Insert sealing between the lid (2) of the right (4) and left (3)
side part and screw together (use pos. 17/19)
2. Screw the bottom (1) with the side lid (3/4) (use
screws/nuts pos. 17/19)
3. Screw the handle with the bottom (1) (use screws/nuts
pos. 11/12/13)
4. Insert a flap (10) between the bottom (1) and internal cover
(5) and screw together (use screws/nuts pos. 17/19)
5. Pull the reinforcement (6) through longitudinal lid holes (2)

Charge pressure for tyres
Make sure there is the right tyre inflation pressure
(1.5 bar). If the pressure is too low, the hose may slip down on
the casing and get damaged.
Operation
Checking the oil level
The engine oil quality is decisive for correct output of the driving
unit and operation life. Use only suitable and high-quality
lubricants; unsuitable lubricants cause damage to the appliance
and lead to immediate warranty expiry (SAE 10 W 40
specification multi-purpose semi-synthetic lubricant
recommended). There might be no engine oil or just a small
amount of it (filling for factory test) when dispatching the
appliance.
Oil level must necessarily be checked before the appliance
is put into operation!
Keep the oil dipstick, oil filling hole, oil drainage hole and
oil drainage screw clean at all times! Use appropriate
containers and prevent environment pollution by lubricants
and fuels.
Instructions to various appliance parts:
Collection container installation
Fit the container to the fixing pins (pic. 4). Flexible plugs should
always be pushed in the fixing pins with the lowermost hole
being the preferable option.
Snow shield installation
Fit the shield to the fixing pins (pic. 5). Flexible plugs should
always be pushed in the fixing pins with the lowermost hole
being the preferable option.
Refuelling
The engine is maintenance-free and common unleaded Normal
and Super petrol is added in it. If environment-friendly unleaded
petrol is used, fuel must be completely drained at engines put
out of operation for more than 30 days to prevent resinous
deposits in the carburettor, fuel filter and tank or fuel stabilizer
mixed to the fuel.
Do not add oil to petrol.
Starting the engine
Put the engine switch to the "ON" position.
Make sure the engine is cold when being started.
Turn on the engine choke.
Turn the speed control lever (pic. 10; pos. "START") to full
speed.
First, pull shortly the starting cable so that it is stretched. Now
pull the starting cable slowly to the stretched position with your
left hand resting on the engine and one more strong pulling the
starting cable. Turn the engine choke off as soon as the engine
gets started.
To be provided
The starting cable must not reel automatically. It must always
be reeled back by hand. If the engine fails to start even after
several attempts, check whether the tank has been refuelled
properly. Maybe there is too much fuel in the roll, which has
caused the spark plug to get damp.
In doing so, please follow the B&S engine instructions!
Switching the engine off
Put the speed control lever to position (pic. 11; pos. "STOP")
and switch the engine off by the engine switch (pic. 9; pos.
"OFF"). Never let the appliance run unattended if the engine is
running. Never switch the engine off if the choke is on as it
could damage the engine. Close the fuel tap (pic. 8; pos.
"OFF"). Pull slowly the starter handle so that there is some
resistance. Valves will get closed. This step is necessary to
prevent damp air from getting in the combustion chamber.
Operating mode
Ensure good stability!
Pressing the guide rod down will enable to turn the
sweeping broom in both directions by app. 20° and lock the
bar in those positions.
The appliance is moving forward when the right lever 1 (pic. 7)
is pressed.
The appliance is moving backward when the right lever 2 (pic.
7) is pulled.
Brushes are activated when the left lever 3 (picr.7) is pressed.
The cleaning appliance is fitted with a safety switch: brushes
and appliance are disabled as soon as levers are released.
