Additional operating safety instructions

Note

The information in this chapter is also provided on a supplementary sheet that must always be carried on the vehicle.

General

The vehicle has a hydrostatic drive and articulated steering. It therefore exhibits driving characteristics that are different to those of a motorcar.

⚠ WARNING

Danger of tipping over

Please note that the driving characteristics of a vehicle with articulated steering differ considerably from those of a motorcar.

Drive around curves at an even and appropriate speed. This applies, in particular, for driving uphill/downhill and driving across the face of a slope.

Be aware of the changes in the centre of gravity of the vehicle depending on attachments.

Adjust the travel speed to the ambient conditions when driving in a straight line and when driving around bends, e.g. road conditions and the load status.

Note decoupling of the front and rear part of the vehicle via a central pendulum joint.

Braking characteristics

Releasing the accelerator pedal provides a form of active braking. This differs from a motorcar where only the engine brake reduces vehicle speed.

ATTENTION

The braking force applied when you release the accelerator pedal is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower gears.

The braking force applied when you release the accelerator pedal in transport mode is significantly weaker than in working mode.

Steering characteristics

Vehicles with articulated steering exhibit a more direct response to steering movements than motorcars, particularly when taking bends at high speed, on snow, ice and wet/loose ground as well as during turning manoeuvres on slopes. Avoid rapid successive steering movements.

Centre of gravity / pendulum characteristics

Rear attachments and load statuses influence the vehicle's centre of gravity and the driving characteristics. You must be ready to adjust to changed driving characteristics, particularly after changing attachments and in the case of changeable load statuses. Limit ranges may be reached earlier.

The vehicle has a central pendulum joint to provide a high degree of all-terrain mobility. This enables both vehicle halves to move transversely to the travel direction independently from one another.

This special property means that the driver does not receive immediate feedback on the behaviour of the rear half of the vehicle. You should therefore take care to use the mirrors to keep an eye on the rear of the vehicle.

Safety instructions for sweepers with high dumping

△ DANGER ● Risk of injury on sweepers with high dumping Secure the lifted waste container before working. Fit the retainer only from outside the hazard zone.

⚠️DANGER

Danger due to change to vehicle's centre of gravity and to driving characteristics. When transporting fluids, sloshing motion may occur, which will then rock the vehicle.

In the case of modifications, particularly when converting from winter to summer use and in the case of changes to load conditions, the driver must be prepared for the change in driving characteristics.

△WARNING

Risk of crushing when attaching attachments

Do not reach between the front power lift and the attachment.

△CAUTION

Risk of burns from hot hydraulic couplings

Wear protective gloves when disconnecting the hydraulic couplings.

ATTENTION

Wear suitable protective clothing, safety gloves, and work gloves when installing and removing attachments. This also applies during use and application.

Please contact your responsible dealer before fitting attachments that are not specifically intended for this vehicle.

Ballasting the vehicle

Note

The front axle of the vehicle must always be loaded with at least 30% of the net weight of the vehicle, and the rear axle must always be loaded with at least 30% of the net weight of the vehicle. Before purchasing the attachment, check that these requirements are met by weighing the vehicle-attachment combination. The following data is required for determining the total weight, the axle loads, the tyre loading capacity and the required minimum ballast:

• All weights in kg (weigh the vehicle if necessary) • All dimensions in meters (m)

TL (kg) = Net weight of the vehicle *
TV (kg) = Front axle load of the empty vehicle *
TH (kg) = Rear axle load of the empty vehicle *
GH (kg) = Total weight rear attachment / rear ballast **
GV	(kg) = Total weight of front attachment / front ballast			**

a	(m)	=	Distance between front attachment (front ballast) centre of gravity and middle of front axle, max. = 0.86 m	** ***
b	(m)	=	* wheelbase of the vehicle	***
c	(m)	=	0.56
d	(m)	=	distance between the centre of the equipment-side attachment point and the centre of gravity of the rear attachment / rear ballast	** ***

* See chapter "Technical data" ** See operating instructions of the attachment *** Measure

Calculation of the minimum front ballast for rear-mounted attachments

G _ V = G _ H × (c + d) - T _ V × b + 0 , 2 × T _ L × ba + b

1. Enter the result into the table.

Calculation of the minimum rear ballast for front-mounted attachments

See the manufacturer's specifications for the value "x" or use a value of x = 0.45 if no specifications are available.

G _ H = G _ V × a - T _ H × b + x × T _ L × bb + c + d

1. Enter the result into the table.

Calculation of the actual front axle load

T _ Vtat = G _ V × (a + b) + T _ V × b - G _ H × (c + d)b

1. If the necessary minimum front ballast weight (GV min) is not reached with the front attachment (GV) then the weight of the front attachment must be increased to the minimum front ballast weight.
2. Enter the actual calculated permissible front axle load and the permissible front axle load specified in the work machine operating instructions into the table.

Calculation of the actual total weight

G _ tat = G _ V + T _ L + G _ H

1. If the necessary minimum rear ballast weight (GH min) is not reached with the rear attachment (GH), then the weight of the rear attachment must be increased to the minimum rear ballast weight.

Calculation of the actual rear axle load

T_Htat = G_tat - T_Vtat

1. Enter the result into the table.

3 Check the front brush and sweeping brush for wear and tear and replace if necessary.

Maintenance and care of the bearings/linear unit

△CAUTION

Malfunction or risk of damage

The bearing units are self-lubricating dry bearings and must never be lubricated with any lubricant.

Brake cleaners, lubricants or other cleaners can corrode and destroy the bearing foil. Check the bearing foil for wear and damage and replace if necessary.

1 The existing lubrication points (grease nipples) are labelled. Lubricate daily with multi-purpose grease.

2 Clean the entire linear unit with water or brine. Cleaning with a high pressure cleaner is not a problem.

Maintenance and care of the chain

ATTENTION

Notes on lubricating the chain

When lubricating the chain, make sure that no lubricant gets onto the rails of the linear unit. Should this happen due to carelessness, they must be cleaned and free of grease before initial start-up.

Never use stains or acids to clean the chain.

1 Inspect the chain at least once a month. During the inspection, clean the chain, tension the chain drive and lubricate it. 2 The chains can be cleaned with rags or brushes. Stubborn dirt can be loosened with petroleum or benzine. Apply new, suitable corrosion protection immediately after using grease-dissolving media. 3 The chain drive may only be tensioned by Kärcher Service. 4 Regular lubrication extends the service life. Lubricate the chain with relubricant VP8 FoodPlus Spay from IWIS. Note that the lubricant must get into the chain joint. This means that it has to get between the protective roller and the bushing, and also between the inner and outer plates to the pins and bushing. 5 If you notice a lack of lubrication in the form of increased noise, stiff joints or fretting corrosion in the joints, we recommend the following procedure.

Clean the chain with a very low viscosity oil. This flushes fretting corrosion, old lubricant and other dirt from the joint. When the chain has been cleaned, lubricate it with a suitable lubricant as described above.
