Unloading tips
Danger
Risk of injury, risk of damage!
Observe the weight of the appliance when
you load it!
Do not use a forklift truck to unload the ma-
chine as this may damage it.
Net weight (transport weight)
* If upgrade kits are installed, the weight is
respectively higher.
 Use a suitable ramp or a crane to load
the appliance!
 If the machine is delivered on a pallet,
you must create an unloading ramp us-
ing the boards provided.
To unload the machine, proceed as follows:

let. Place the boards in such a way that
they lie in front of the four wheels of the
machine. Fasten the boards with
screws.
 Slide the four support beams included
in the packaging under the ramp.
 Remove the wooden blocks used for ar-
resting the wheels and slide them under
the ramp.
 Slide the machine over the prepared
ramp from the pallet.
The machine can be moved in 2 ways:
(1) By pushing it (see Moving sweeper
without engaging self-propulsion).
(2) By driving it (see Moving sweeper by
engaging self-propulsion).

Prior to start/safety test
Maintenance Works
 Check gas system for leaks.
 Check engine oil level.
 Check and ensure that the union nut is
fixed properly on the gas tube.
 Check fill level of hydraulic oil.
 Check side brush.
 Check the roller brush for wear and
wrapped belts.
 Empty waste container.
 Check tyre pressure.
 Check function of seat contact switch.
 Check, if the stop switch on the com-

Install/replace gas bottle
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
 Only type-tested replacement bottles
(power gas bottles) with 11 kg of con-
tent must be used. These have a 270°
collar for the protection of the valve.
Note
Replacement bottles without a collar
are fuel gas bottles and have another
sealing connection. A gas-tight connec-
tion is therefore not possible, there is
fire and explosion hazard!
Moreover, valve parts may break off.
DANGER
Risk of injury!
 Follow safety regulations for LPG vehi-
cles.
 Formation of crusts and yellow-frothing
deposits on the gas cylinder indicate
leakiness.
 Cylinders must be changed only by in-
structed persons.
 Cylinders containing propellant gases
must not be changed in garages and
underground areas.
 Do not smoke and use uncovered light
while changing the cylinder.
 While changing cylinders, first close the
locking valve of the LPG cylinder firmly
and immediately put the protective cap
on the empty cylinder.
DANGER
Risk of accident!
 Gas cylinders must not protrude be-
yond the machine contour after installa-
tion.
 Larger gas cylinders that protrude be-
yond the machine contour must not be
installed.
 The gas hose must be installed in a way
that it does not protrude beyond the ma-
chine contour either.
