2.1 Proper use
The MC 50 is a sweeper with a sweeping suction system.
In addition, or as an alternative, other attachments (not in the
scope of delivery) can be attached.
Use this appliance only as directed in these operating instruc-
tions.
– The sweeper has been designed to sweep dirt and debris
from outdoor surfaces.
– The appliance should not be used in closed rooms.
– The machine is not suitable for vacuuming dust which en-
dangers health.
– The machine may not be modified.
– The machine is only suitable for use on the types of sur-
faces specified in the operating instructions.
– The machine may only be operated on the surfaces ap-
proved by the company or its authorised representatives.
– The following applies in general: Keep highly-flammable
substances away from the appliance (danger of explo-
sion/fire).
2.1.1 Foreseeable misuse
– Never vacuum up explosive liquids, combustible gases or
undiluted acids and solvents. This includes petrol, paint
thinner or heating oil which can generate explosive fumes
or mixtures upon contact with the suction air. Acetone, un-
diluted acids and solvents must also be avoided as they
can harm the materials on the machine.
– Never sweep/vacuum up reactive metal dusts (e.g. alu-
minium, magnesium, zinc), as they form explosive gases
when they come in contact with highly alkaline or acidic
detergents.
– Do not sweep/vacuum up any burning or glowing objects.
– The machine may not be used or stored in hazardous ar-
eas. It is not allowed to use the appliance in hazardous lo-
cations.
2.1.2 Suitable sweeping surfaces
 Asphalt
 Industrial floor
 Screed
 Concrete
 Paving stones
2.2 Focus on MC 50 (with sweeping
suction system)
Centre of gravity position when the appliance is fully load-
ed.
2.3 Focus on MC 50 (without attachments)
Position of centre of gravity without attachments installed.
 Rear attachments and load statuses have an impact on
the vehicle's centre of gravity and thus on the driving
characteristics.
 If not attachment is connected to the rear of the appli-
ance, you must install the balance weights on the rear.
2.4 Sweeper Functions
– The generated dust is bound through sprayed water.
– The side brushes transport the dust to the front of the
suction opening.
– The suction turbine creates a vacuum and suctions the
dust into the waste container.
