WORK AREA 

 

Keep work area clean, 

free of clutter and well lit.

 

Cluttered and dark work areas can cause 

accidents.

 

 

Keep children and bystanders 

away while operating a sweeper. Distractions can cause you to 

lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

 

 

Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, 

water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your 

work area, part

icularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s view that 

may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.   

 

 

Be alert of your surroundings. 

Using a sweeper in confined work areas may put you dangerously 

close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Stay alert, 

watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a sweeper. Do not use a 

sweeper while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of 

inattention while operating a sweeper may result in serious personal injury. 

 

Dress properly. 

Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving 

parts. 

 

Use safety apparel and equipment. 

Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which 

comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty 

work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, 

hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. 

SWEEPER USE AND CARE 

 

Do not modify the sweeper

 

in any way.

 Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or 

safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the 

sweeper was designed. 

 

Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the sweeper. 

Broken parts will 

affect the sweeper operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.

 

 

Do not exceed the sweeper

 

load capacity. 

 

Distribute the load evenly.

 Uneven loads may cause the sweeper to tip, resulting in personal 

injury to the operator or others.

 

 

Use the sweeper

 

on flat and level surfaces

 capable of supporting the sweeper and its maximum 

load. Pulling or pushing a load on a slanted or uneven surface can result in loss of control.

 

 

Store idle sweeper. 

When the sweeper is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the reach of 

children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. 

 

Before storing

 the sweeper, always empty the hopper bag. 

 

Axle

 needs lubrication before each usage.
