Sweeper Operation
Adding fuel
Fill the fuel tank.
m
Fill tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2”) below the
bottom of the filler neck to provide space for expansion.
Adding Oil-Bath (Fig. 13)
1. Remove the wing nut (1), the air cleaner cap (2)
and cover (3).
2. Remove the air filter (4) from the cover (3) and dip
the filter (4) in clean engine oil and then squeeze
out all excess oil. The engine will smoke if too much
oil is left in the foam. This can damage the motor
after time.
3. Fill the air cleaner case (6) till the oil level mark (7)
with motor oil. Approx. oil capacity: 0,06 l
4. Reassemble the air cleaner in reverse chronology.
Starting engine
Follow the procedure below for cold starts:
1. Turn the fuel valve lever on the engine to the ON po-
sition.
2. Turn the choke lever on the engine to the CLOSE
position.
3. Set the throttle lever on the upper handle at halfway
position.
4. Pull the starting rope slowly several times to allow
the gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor. Then
hold the start handle firmly and pull rope out a short
distance until you feel some resistance. Then pull the
rope smoothly and briskly, and allow rope to return
gently. Do not let the rope snap back. If necessary, pull
the rope several times until the engine starts.
5. Allow the engine to run for several seconds to warm
up. Then, gradually move chock lever to “OPEN” po-
sition.
Restarting an engine that is already warm from previ-
ous running does not normally require use of the choke.
1. Set the throttle lever on the upper handle at half- way
position.
2. Hold the start handle firmly and pull rope out a short
distance until you feel some resistance. Then pull the
rope smoothly and briskly, and allow rope to return
gently. Do not let the rope snap back.
Operating
After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate
engine speed.
Push down the left upper lever to activate the brush
rotation.
Push down the right upper lever to move forwards or pull
up the right lower lever to move backwards.
The Power Sweeper is equipped with a dead man’s han-
dle, which means that when you release the levers, the
brush and machine stop.
In case of accidents you should release the levers as
quickly as possible and stop the engine.
The brush can be swung 20 degrees to either side.
Right upper lever
It controls forward movement. It engages and disen-
gages engine rotation from transmission. Pressing it is
“Drive” mode and releasing it is “Stop” mode. Press it
to make machine move forwards. Release it to make
machine stop.
Right lower lever
It controls reverse movement. It engages and disen-
gages engine rotation from transmission. Pressing it is
“Drive” mode and releasing it is “Stop” mode. Press it
to make machine move backwards. Release it to make
machine stop.
Left upper lever
It controls the brush operation. Press it to start brush
rotation. Release it to stop brush rotation.
Throttle control
It controls engine speed. Put the throttle level on low
speed or high speed or an intermediary position between
low speed and high speed to increase or decrease the
speed of engine.
Gauge wheels
They play a role of supporting and turning the machine
and also for adjusting the height of the brush.
Steering lever
It controls the direction of the brush. Press steering lever
and swing the brush 20 degrees to right side or left side.
Brush
It sweeps and removes snow, leaves, dirt, light gravel
and other materials from packing lots, sidewalks and
other surfaces.
driving wheels
They move the power sweeper to any desired location.
Handle Adjustment Knobs
It provides different handle heights to make driving posi-
tion comfortable with the controls positioned ergonomi-
cally.
Loosen both handle adjustment knobs, and pivot handle
forward or backward to desired height, and then tighten
the adjustment knobs securely.
