3. Making the machine operational:
3.1
The driving handle is easily adjustable to the optimum height for the operator. For this purpose there are
two twist knobs on the driving handle which can be released for adjustment and then tightened to hold
the new position.
3.2
When borders, curb-stones, bricks or corners should be swept the side brush should be lowered. To
lower the side brush the knob, which is on the cable, should be pushed. The side brush control is
indicated on the control panel by a "side brush" symbol.
Important!
The side brush should only be lowered in the above cases so as to avoid unnecessary dust creation.
To raise the side brush the cable handle should be pulled. The clamping of the cable in the "up" position
is automatic.
3.3
Releasing the handbrake as follows, the blocking mechanism on the top of the driving wheel should be
pressed with the foot. Thus the radial and axial braking are released and the machine is ready to move.
3.4 Starting the machine
Pull the choke (indicated by the symbol) to the middle position. The choke is not necessary when the
machine is already at operating temperature. When the choke has been set the key must be turned past
the 1 'o' clock position until the motor starts, the key should then be released whereby it will remain in the
1 'o' clock position. When the motor does not start in about 5 seconds the operator should stop and start
the process again in about 20 seconds. When the motor does not start (e.g. the starter motor is defect)
the hand starter should be used. For this the key should be in the key switch and in the 1 'o' clock
position, the positioning switch is used to adjust and open the bonnet. As soon as the motor is working
shut the bonnet and release the positioning switch.
