QUICK ASSEMBLY GUIDE
-
Raise the handles and open the hopper bin to find the sweeper’s two front brooms.
-
Lift the broom arms and begin unscrewing
-
Align the first broom to the holes in the arm and begin to fasten in place with the screws
-
Loosen the handles knobs then pull the handlebar up to align it with the slots.
-
Push the handlebar down into the slots and tighten the knobs to lock it in place.
-
Adjust the height of the brushes using the back lever and side knobs for deeper cleaning.
OPERATION
Using the Sweeper
- The operator should use the sweeper under normal conditions and consider the surrounding environment when operating – be cautious of people around the sweeper and objects that may unintentionally sweep in an outward direction.
- Depending upon the area the operator intends to sweep, you can adjust the height of the front and back brushes. The higher the brush is set the less pressure exerted on surfaces. A higher the brush is set may be less effective but will increase the longevity of the brush. A lower brush setting will be more effective at sweeping, but may be harder to push and decrease the longevity of the brush.
- If debris is not going into the sweeper, try sweeping quickly with some force over the debris pile to push the trash into the sweeper trash bin.
Note : Do not pull the sweeper in reverse. It will not properly collect trash in the reverse direction.
Checking the Equipment Prior to Use
- Check to ensure that the push handle is securely attached to the sweeper.
- Check condition of waste bin and ensure that it is securely attached.
- Check the disc brushes and fine dirt sweeping roller for stuck parts and embedded dirt – bristles must move freely.
- Check height adjustment of the disc brushes and adjust to the ground to be swept. 5.2.5 Check the height adjustment.
Note: The machine must be serviced regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in the Instruction Manual. All other work should be carried out by a servicing dealer.
Removing Debris
- Hold your handle and lift it up to remove the garbage can
- When the main brush is entangled with garbage, it should be reversed and removed in time.
- Dump the garbage along the side of the garbage can. No knocking on the garbage can is allowed.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning the Equipment
- Always clean, dust off and clear debris from the sweeper
- Do not use any grease solvents, pressure washer for cleaning the sweeper.
- Wear safety gear when cleaning to reduce the risk of injury.
- Store the machine in a safe and dry area.
Fixing a Clog
Solution: If one of the side brooms or the roller brush becomes blocked, stop
work, and remove the blockage. Wear work gloves to reduce the risk of cuts or
injuries from sharp objects.
If Debris Escapes from the Sides
Solution : Continue pushing the sweeper for a brief period, lift the sweeper up at the front (front wheels up doing a wheelie) so that dirt falls to the back of the trash bin hopper. This helps make better use of the hopper’s full capacity. When sweeping heavy material, ex: gravel, loose chippings, nails the sweeper’s center of gravity shifts to the rear. This tends to lift the side brooms away from the surface and reduce cleaning efficiency. Adjust the side brooms downward accordingly.
Side Brush Not Moving
Solution: Replace Brush and or band that rotates brush.
Debris Not Sweeping up into Hopper
Solution: Replace roller brush
Brush Bristles Damaged
Solution: Use a heat gun or blower dry to straighten bristles
The Machine is Difficult to Push
Solution: The Roller brush may have a blockage. Unclog the brush. Also, the
side brushes may be a setting that is too low; increase the height of the
brushes.
Gear Components Stiff
Solution: Lubricate gears with a silicone-based oil.
