4. Maintenance and control
4.1 Check before starting to work with the GS 0850.
Before starting any activity, several points must be checked first:
- check whether the machine is in good condition. For instance: check if there are
any loose parts due to vibration.
- check the air pressure of the tyres (0.8 bar)
- check if there are no persons or animals in the immediate surroundings of the GS
0850.
A visual check is enough. After prolonged use, lengthy standstill of more than 30
days and unexpected circumstances, the sweeper must be thoroughly checked.
Bolts and nuts must be checked regularly for tightness
4.2 Maintenance after sweeping
After sweeping, the machine can be cleaned with water. The use of a high-pressure
spraying device is allowed. During cleaning, the engine of the GS 0850 must be
turned off.
During cleaning, the engine of the sweeper must be turned off.
4.3 Brush check
Depending on the use, the brush hairs are liable to wear. Hairs are also pulled out by
the sweeping process.
As a result, it could be necessary to adjust the height of the brush. In case of severe
wear, several parts where a lot of hairs are missing from the brush or poor sweeping
results, the brush must be replaced.
