Assembly
The sweeper is almost ready assembled from the
factory. Only a few items remain to be assembled:
Actual model may vary from the illustration shown
Check the tire pressure on both wheels before use.
Correct tire pressure is
24 psi/1.7 bar. Fig 8.
Use of machine with too low tire pressure,
can damage the tires!

Operation
Read the instruction manual for the engine,
before use
Before using the machine, remove bigger objects from
the vicinity. Bigger objects can damage the sweeper.
Also check that all bolts are tightened.
Control oil level before starting the engine.
See attached guide
Start the engine:
1. Open the fuel tap.
2. On a cold engine open the choker.
Note: By a hot engine choke is not required.
3. Turn the throttle cable to “start” position.
4. Pull the recoil starter gently until you feel
resistance in the rope. Then pull quickly and
energetic. Do not at any time let go of the
recoil starter but glide it gently back and pull
again.
5. Regulate the choker until the engine is running
smoothly.
Stop the engine:
1. Set the throttle to minimum/stop.
2. Turn the fuel tap to the”off” position.
Gear shifter
3 different forward gears and 1 reverse gear can be
selected. See figure 10.
Always release the clutch handle before
changing gear!
Clutch handle A - Forward and Reverse
.
To operate the black clutch handle A in figure 9,
activate the handle, so the sweeper will drive forward
or backwards. To change gear, release the clutch
handle and chose the desired gear with the gear
shifter.
Pay attention while reversing. It is important that the
area is cleared, for any obstacle before reversing.
Never reverse the sweeper against a wall, tree or any
other fixed obstacle.
Clutch handle B - Activation of brush
.
To operate the black brush handle B in figure 9, push
down the handle and it activates the brush.
The sweeper is equipped with a "dead man's handle",
once released the brush and drive will stop
immediately.
Operation safety zone
Do not leave the operation safety zone marked in
figure 11, while working with the machine. If it is
necessary to leave the operation zone, for example to
readjust the rotary brush or to attach an accessory,
first stop the engine.
Height adjustment of brush
When the brushes become worn it might be necessary
to adjust the proximity of brushes to the working
surface. To adjust the height of the brushes follow
figure 7:
1. Remove the lock pin
2. Lift the front of the machine to free the brush
and pull the supporting wheels out.
3. Remove or add the spacer ring
(1 ring = approx. 5 mm)
4. Install support wheels, remove / add spacer
ring, fasten with locking pin.
(Hint: Complete one wheel at a time)
Angle adjustment of brush
The brush can be pivoted 20 degrees to either side.
This is done by pushing the swing handle down,
turning the brush and releases the handle so the
detent clicks into place.
The swing handle is shown on Figure 6, H.
