IPC PLDC00063 Eagle Floor Sweeper

INTRODUCTION

By purchasing this manual sweeper you have bought a particularly efficient tool. Thanks to the carefully fitted system, it sweeps not only small pieces, like cigarette ends, scraps of wood and single leaves, but practically all materials passing under the front covering: leaves, polystyrene, pieces of metal, stones, even plastic glasses, small bottles, cans, dust, paper and sand. The particularly big dirt container allows an excellent autonomy of work. You will appreciate it when sweeping bulky dirt, i.e. leaves.
You will soon discover that your new sweeper is really easy to use. The lateral broom allows to sweep corners and angles.

Even though this manual sweeper is versatile, it is intended only for plane floorings of every kind. Therefore, it is not intended for meadows or for cleaning stairs.
Before using the sweeper, read this operating instructions and safety recommendations carefully, and keep them at hand to consult them at any time.
Since it is completely manual, the sweeper is ecological and environment- friendly.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The machine is EXCLUSIVELY intended for the brush cleaning of plane dry surfaces. Any other usage, that may cause damages to things and persons, is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN.
IMPORTANT : The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the machine due to an operation that is not in accordance with the intended use. The machine MUST NOT be tampered. Otherwise the manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for the operation or any damages caused by the machine.

The manual sweeper is not fit for sweeping substances and materials which are combustible, explosive, toxic, carcinogenic or which present health hazards.
Do not sweep burning or scorching things, such as cigarettes, matches and the like.
When removing glass, metal or other materials from the dirt container, use strong gloves to avoid getting hurt.
The dirt container should be emptied after each use.
Do not use the sweeper too near sources of heat (fire, radiators, air heaters or other heating equipment).
Use exclusively original spare parts and accessories.

UNPACKING

Unpack the machine carefully and avoid manoeuvres that may cause damages.
For reasons of transport and packing dimensions, some accessories may be furnished disassembled.

In this case, assembly them following the instructions of this handbook.
Keep parts of the packing (plastic bags, foam polystyrene, nails, etc.) out of reach of children. They are potential sources of danger.

INSTALLATION

After unpacking the sweeper, install the handle in operating position and the brush on the relative support arm according to the following procedure:

Unscrew locking wheels (Picture 1 pos. 1).
Lift the handle to the operating position (Picture 2 pos. 1).
Reposition wheels (Picture 2 pos. 2). Make sure to tighten them hard in the proper place on the handle.
Take the brush out of the dirt container.
Lift the support arm to a vertical position.
Position the brush against the rotary support. Make sure that brush holes and support holes are matching.
Firmly secure the brush to its support with the screws supplied with the product (Picture 3 pos. 1).

ADJUSTMENT

The manual sweeper is factory-adjusted for the opera-tion on plane and smooth ground.
Therefore, you only need to bring the lateral brush to the operating position.
As a rule, brushes should be adjusted so as to touch the ground with a light pressure.

To adjust the worn main sweeping roll or to use the machine on a non-flat ground, simply rotate the wheel (Picture 4 pos. 1) clockwise or counterclockwise to the requested height.
N.B.: A clockwise (+) rotation of the wheel lowers the brush to the floor; a counterclockwise (-) rotation lifts it.
N.B.: Before adjusting the central brush, some models require the loosening of the collar

(Picture 4 pos. 2). After adjusting, tighten hard.
To adjust the lateral brush, simply lift it to the rest position and rotate the rubber element (Picture 5 pos. 1) clockwise or counterclockwise by hand after releasing the collar (Picture 5 pos. 2).
N.B.: Like the above-mentioned brush, a clockwise rotation lowers the lateral brush, while a counterclockwise rotation lifts it.

USE

Simply push the manual sweeper on the flooring where there is dirt to eliminate.
N.B.: Remember that the number of revolutions of sweeping rolls (thus, efficiency) depends on the speed of travel.

Attention : Strings, wires, packing tapes and objects with similar lengths should be collected by hand. Remove them if they get rolled onto the brushes.

EMPTYING OF CONTAINERS

To empty the main container, simply take it by the handle and lift it upwards, withdrawing it from lateral guides (Picture 6 pos. 1).
N.B.: Before removing the main container, in some models it is necessary to release it by lifting the lever (Picture 6 pos. 2) and rotating it at 90°. After this operation, bring the lever back to its initial operating position.

To empty the back container, release the lock (Picture 7 pos. 1) and withdraw it at the back. Avoid turning the opening downwards (Picture 8 pos.1).
Then, reassembly the containers in the proper position.

HANDLING AFTER USAGE AND STORAGE

To avoid damaging lateral brush bristles, lift the brush from the ground after every usage of the sweeper (Picture 9 pos. 1).
In this way, during rest intervals, bristles are not constantly under pressure and do not loose efficiency in cleaning when used.
If it is necessary to put the sweeper in limited spaces, simply unscrew wheels and bend the handle forward to a horizontal position (Picture 9 pos. 2).
Retighten wheels and store the product.

SERVICING
This manual sweeper does not require servicing. Dry clean only.
Do not wash the machine with water or solvents.
