Safety instructions for maintenance

WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you do 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 fastened securely. Check all nuts and screws.
If you have a gasoline operated product, make sure that there are no fuel leaks.
Make sure that the brush drums are not damaged and show no signs of cracking or other damage.

Assembly

To assemble the attachment

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.
Fasten the roller shaft with locking pin (B).
Thread one of the brush drums (C) onto the fitted axle. The end with the extended rubber lamellas is assembled closest to the gear housing. Press in the brush drum.
Fasten the roller on the shaft with a cotter pin (D). Press in the end slightly when assembling.
Repeat these steps to assemble the axle and roller on the opposite side. The drums are identical but must be assembled with the extended rubber lamellas towards the gear housing.
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 start the product with a cold engine

If you have a gasoline operated product, obey these instructions to start the product with a cold engine.

Run the basic product warm and then shut down the product.
Mount the attachment as per the assembly instructions.
When adjusting the carburetor, make sure that the brush drums are held against the ground and that no one else is in the vicinity.
Make sure the brush drums are idling.
Make sure that the handle and safety features are in good working order. Never use a product that lacks a part or has been modified outside its specifications.

To use the attachment

The sweeper works best when the rubber lamellas can glide or ‘stroke’ the working surface. New or replaced brush drums tend to fasten or drag on hard surfaces and shall therefore be ‘run in’ thoroughly before use. This can be done easily by operating the product at full throttle/speed for 3-5 minutes in loose gravel or similar grinding material. After being run in, the sweeper will be able to move large amounts of material from snow or puddles to heavier objects such as gravel or wood chips.

In time, you will learn how the sweeper works but you must observe safety precautions from the very beginning.

Run the sweeper at full (or nearly full) throttle/speed with the rubber lamellas resting on the surface.
Note: It is both tiresome and unnecessary to lift up or hold the rubber lamellas above the surface while working.
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.
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 materials that are thrown out.
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 perform maintenance on the attachment

CAUTION: Working on the sweeper is often done in dusty conditions. If you have a gasoline operated product it is extremely important to take care of air filter maintenance regularly, often daily. The air filter must be oiled to work satisfactorily.

Refer to the operator’s manual of the power unit for maintenance instructions.

WARNING: The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear housing.

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

Transportation, storage and disposal

Transport and storage

If transporting the attachment on another vehicle always use approved securing devices and make sure that the attachment is securely held.

Ensure the attachment is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.
