Operation
3.3 Notes on use
Prior to starting the machine familiarise yourself with the controls. The machine has controls for brush and
machine driving speed. T he brus h and drive operation levers are dead man levers and will go to the off
position if released. T he ergonomic design means that little pressure is required to keep the machine r unning.
If the levers are released the machine will stop.
Startinq the Motor
If the motor has a petrol tap turn this on.
Move the gas control to MAX which puts the engine in the choke position.
Using either the elector start or the pull start cord start the motor.
After a few seconds you can move the gas control lever back off of choke to the full speed position.
Turning the motor off
Move the gas control lever to the Stop position
If present turn off the petrol cock.
ÿ
Warning after the motor is turned off the motor parts are still hot for quite some time.
Driv inq the sweeper
To start the machine moving forward grip the red lever on the left handle bar (as seen from the operator
position). You will need to hold the lever down, if you let go the machine will stop.
Driv inq speed
(2.5 – 4.5 kph)
The sweeper has a speed control on the left handle bar (as seen by the operator).
Move the lever forward to increase speed and backwards to decrease speed. This can be done white the
machine is running.
Brush drive
The brush is started by pressing down the red lever on the right hand handle bar (as seen by the operator).
You will need to hold the lever down to keep the brush rotating. If you let go the brush will stop.
ÿ
When you start the brush rotating it will be in contact with the ground. If the nature of the ground is such
that the brush can not freely rotate, the brush rotation will move the s weeper forward. It is better to put
the machine in drive first and move forward at the desired speed then start the brush.
Brush speed
Five br ush speeds can be selected on this machine. While the brush is running you can operate the speed
control lever on the lower part of the left handle bar (as seen by the operator).
Move the lever first towards the machine centre and then up or down.
Settinq brush height
( brush pressure)
The brush should have a contact area with the ground as seen from the side of between 15 and 20 mm.
Loosen the contra nut and rotate the handle (
9 – on figure on page 7
) until the brus h looks right on the
ground. Then re-tighten the locking nut..
Settinq brush angle
If you are using the-collector the brush head should be kept straight. Angle the brush to sweep off to one side.
Raise the lever (
13 – on figure on page 7
), move brush around to desired angle, then lower the lever to lock
it into the new position.
Extras
The most important and useful extra is a collector.
To attach it simply lower it onto the 2 pin holders on the brush head.
If the conditions are very dusty a water spray system is ideal for keeping the dust down. This is simple to
attach and a worthwhile extra.
It is possible to attach a snowplough to the s weeper for dealing with larger quantities of snow than the brush
will deal with. It should also be noted that the correct brush for snow is the 8 x 2 Polypropylene.
Snow chains are also available for the machine to improve the grip in snow.
