Safety instructions for maintenance

WARNING: Always stop the product before you do maintenance on the attachment. Be careful, the attachment can continue to move after the throttle/power trigger is released. Make sure that the attachment has stopped fully. If you have a gasoline operated product, disconnect the HT leads from the spark plug. If you have a battery operated product, remove the battery.

• Check the entire product before starting. Replace damaged parts.
• Check that all guards and covers are complete and attached correctly. Examine all nuts and screws.

• Check that the brush drums are not damaged and show no signs of cracking or other damage.

Assembly

To assemble the attachment

1. Press one of the drum axles (A) onto one of the two outgoing drive shafts from the gear housing (F). Rotate the drum axle if necessary so that the pin hole comes over the corresponding hole in the drive shaft.
2. Fasten the roller shaft with locking pin (B).
3. Put one of the brush rollers (C) onto the assembled shaft. Press in the roller until it stops.
4. Fasten the roller on the shaft with a cotter pin (D). Press in the end slightly when assembling.
5. Repeat these steps to assemble the axle and roller on the opposite side.
6. Mount the splash guard with the snap-on fasteners (E).

Note: For assembling accessories on basic product, refer to manual for basic product.

Operation

To use the attachment

1. Operate the product at full throttle/speed (or nearly full throttle/speed) with the brush resting on the surface.
   • Note: It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the brush above the surface when working.
2. When clearing narrow surfaces such as paths, the product can be used so that it throws materials straight in front of you. If you want to work on wider surfaces, you may need to work at an angle so that strands form on one side. Strands comprising light materials can be collected into one row or pile for later removal while hard or more bulky materials may need collecting in several strands.
3. In order to get into corners, remove the splash guard and loosen the accessory coupling and rotate the accessory half a turn.
   • WARNING: Rubbish will then be thrown back towards the user. Use a lower speed when reversing the product and remember that it is easy to trip over.
4. Keep a small working angle to the surface. Too large a working angle means the sweeper tends to move towards you and you risk losing control of the product.

Maintenance

Introduction
Below you will find some general maintenance instructions. If you need further information please contact your service workshop.

To do maintenance on the accessory
CAUTION: The accessory operates in dirty conditions. If you have a gasoline operated product, it is very important to do maintenance of the air filter regularly. The air filter must be lubricated with oil to operate satisfactorily. Refer to the operator’s manual of the power unit for maintenance instructions.
WARNING : The gear housing gets hot when the product has been in use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear housing.

1. Check that the brush drums do not rotate when the throttle/power trigger is released.
2. Check that the brush drums are not damaged or cracked. Replace the brush drums if necessary.
3. Hang up the brush when in storage for long periods.

Transportation, storage and disposal
