Cleaning the device
1
Fig. 7:
Stubborn residual dirt are harmful to the ejec-
tion and affect the brushing result. To ensure
sufficient engine cooling, also keep the engine
cover, ventilation grid, and the engine clean.
Keep the brush holders ( 1 ) especially clean.
You must be able to swivel them easily other-
wise there is a risk of unbalance.
Fire hazard! Pay special attention so that
components at the silencer are clean.
For cleaning use a hand brush. Remove stub-
born soiling with a wooden or plastic spatula.
Clean the outer housing parts with a cloth.
Do not rinse off the device with a water jet or
high pressure cleaner! Do not use aggressive
cleaning agents.
Cleaning the dirt collecting bag
After brushing, clean the dirt collecting bag
thoroughly with water. The fabric is to stay air
permeable. Residue and dirt clog the fabric
and thus worsens the collecting performance.
Basic inspection
To make sure that the device can be operated
safely, check all nuts, bolts, screws, connec-
tions of fuel lines, air filters etc. regularly for
proper condition and firm seating. Check the
ignition wire and the spark plug connector for
damage.
Immediately replace any damaged or used
parts, especially covers, brush strip, side and
rear cover, protection skirt, dirt collecting bag,
silencer, or fuel tank (authorised service
centre).

Check that the protection skirt frame ( 2 ) can be
moved easily. When you tilt the device back-
wards, the protection skirt (
1 ) must continue to
touch the ground.
Check all parts that that contain fluids for leaks
and proper condition. These can be: Fuel tank,
fuel valve, fuel lines, carburetor, engine, gears,
battery, hydraulic system.
In case of leaks, contact an authorised service
centre.
Checking the engine brake
Check the engine brake for proper function by
switching off the engine. The brushes must
stand still within less than 3 seconds. Contact
an authorised service centre if this is not the
case.
