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
