During assembly or conversion work the drive parts of the device or com
ponents can still be very hot and may cause burns.
It is therefore important to observe the following safety instructions:
- Wear protective gloves during assembly!
Disassembly of surface brush followed by assembly of the joint brush
-
Switch off the device and disconnect the power cord (D) from the power supply.
12 Open the locking device (L) of the guide arm (N), as shown in the illustration.
13 With the lock applied (L) remove the guide arm (N) and then the surface brush (O).
14 Now open the locking device (L) of
the drive arm (Q), as shown in the illustration and remove, with the lock applied, (L) the drive arm (Q) with safety guard (P). -
The surface brush is now successfully dismantled.
15 Put the guiding wheel (J), as shown in the illustration, on the steering side of the motor/gear unit (M). Now slide the lock (L) into open position , hold this and press the guiding wheel (J) further onto the coupling shaft up to the stop. Release the spring-loaded locking device (L). The guiding wheel (J) is locked when the locking device independently returns to its original position .
16 Put the pre-assembled joint brush unit, as illustrated, on the drive side of the motor/gear unit (M). Slide the lock (L) into open position , hold this and press the joint brush unit further into the drive shaft up to the stop.
Release the spring-loaded locking device (L), the joint brush unit is locked when the locking device independently returns to its original posi tion .
Disassembly of joint brush followed by assembly of the surface brush
- Dismantle the joint brush according to handling and function described above.
17 Open the locking device (L) of the drive arm (Q) and, with the lock applied, (L) put the drive arm (Q) with safety guard (P), onto the drive side of the motor/gear unit (M), as illustrated. Release the spring-loaded lock (L), the drive arm is locked when the locking device independently returns to its original position .
NOTE
17 If the drive unit (Q) cannot be pushed onto the drive shaft, reach under the safety guard (P) and turn the hexagonal drive until the drive unit (Q) slides onto the drive shaft easily and without force.
18 Put the surface brush (O) onto the hexagonal drive and then the guide arm (N), as illustrated, on the steering side of the motor/gear unit (M).
19 Now slide the lock (L) into open position , hold this and press the guide
arm (N) further onto the coupling shaft up to the stop. Release the spring-
loaded locking device (L). The guide arm (N) is locked when the locking device
independently returns to its original position .
NOTE
20 Whilst assembling the surface brush, make sure that the side part of the
safety guard on guide arm (N) is firmly connected to the safety guard and is
correctly sealed.
Using the surface brush on rough surface structures e.g. tiles, paving slabs, exposed aggregate concrete, stoneware etc.
Figure 21
21 Place the switched-on device parallel on the surface to be treated. Hold the device at working angle and make sure that the rubber lip on the safety guard is just above the ground. Walk at an even steady pace and push the device in front of you. Depending on the degree of soiling, apply light to medium pressure on the surface brush, adapt your pace of work to the degree of soiling.
NOTE
- Always work parallel and hold the device away from your body.
- When working close to edges, the narrower side of the device should point towards the wall.
- In cases of stubborn dirt you can move the device backwards and forwards on the spot (like a scrubber), until the required result is achieved.
- Moist cleaning is also possible in cases of heavy soiling. Use a sprayer to moist the surface to be cleaned with water or a cleaning agent, a GLORIA sprayer is ideal for this purpose. After moit cleaning rinse the surface with water.
CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY FROM RUNNING BRUSHING TOOL!
- Never lift the device off the ground whilst switched on during work as there is danger of entanglement!
Using the surface brush on wood surfaces (optionally available as an accessory)
ATTENTION
Improper use of the device poses a risk of damage to property! You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:
- Never use the hard surface brush with the black bristles for cleaning wood surfaces, as the hard bristles attack the surface of the wood, thereby damaging it.
NOTE
- For cleaning wood surfaces use the soft surface brush with the yellow / black bristles. This is available as a GLORIA accessory and is not in cluded in the scope of delivery.
- Assembly and operating instructions can be found in the product information “Surface brush for wood surfaces”.
Using and replacing the joint brush
Figures 22 – 24
22 Assemble the joint brush as described in Chapter 6.1.2. Place the device parallel with guiding wheel and joint brush on the joint to be treated. Hold the device at working angle and make sure that the rubber lip on the safety guard (H) is just above the ground.
NOTE
23 To adjust the safety guard (I), turn the 7 click-stop safety guard to the position described under point “22”.
24 Align the joint brush with the centre of the joint, walk at an even steady pace and push the device in front of you. Adapt your pace of work to the degree of soiling.
NOTE
- Always work along the joint and hold the device away from your body.
- In cases of stubborn dirt you can move the device backwards and forwards on the spot (like a scrubber), until the required result is achieved.
CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY FROM RUNNING BRUSHING TOOL!
