 Danger
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
– Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.

 Pull the lever for forward drive.
Note: The drive speed for forward drive
can be adjusted steplessly depending on
the position of the lever.
 Release the lever for forward drive. De-
vice comes to a halt.
Driving over fixed obstacles which are 30
mm high or less:
 Raise bulk waste flap.
 Drive forwards slowly and carefully.
Driving over fixed obstacles which are
more than 30 mm high:
 Only drive over these obstacles using a
suitable ramp.
 Danger
Risk of injury! If the bulk waste flap is open,
stones or gravel may be flung forwards by
the roller brush. Make sure that this does
not endanger persons, animals or objects.
CAUTION
Do not sweep up packing strips, wire or
similar objects as this may damage the
sweeping mechanism.
Note: To achieve an optimum cleaning re-
sult, the driving speed should be adjusted
to take specific situations into account.
Note: To sweep up larger items up to a
height of 50 mm, e.g. cigarette packs, the
bulk waste flap must be raised briefly.
Raising bulk waste flap:
 Pull the lever for raising the bulk waste
flap.
Lowering the bulk waste flap:
 Release the lever for raising the bulk
waste flap.
Note: An optimum cleaning result can only
be achieved if the bulk waste flap has been
lowered completely.

Move the lever to lower the side brush
to the front. The side brush will be low-
ered.
Note: During operation, the waste contain-
er should be emptied at regular intervals.
Note: During operation, the dust filter
should be shaken off and cleaned at regu-
lar intervals.
 Close wet/dry flap
