The exclamation mark symbol has been used in this manual at several places and identifies

particular areas that are for your safety. Please pass all safety instructions on to other persons operating this machine.

This symbol has been used in the manual in several places and identifies particular areas that the operator should note at the time of operation.

first operation, read the manual carefully and strictly comply with the instructions contained herein

Introduction

Proper Use

The unit has been exclusively designed for floor cleaning, such as dry sweeping. Whatever use beyond this specified use will be deemed improper use and the manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages.

The term "proper use" also includes compliance with the manufacturer's instructions about operation, maintenance and repair.

The unit must be serviced and repaired by an authorized service center. The appropriate safety precautions as well as applicable general regulations about safety and health at work should be complied with.

Modifications made to the unit will relieve the manufacturer from liability and damages.

This machine is not suitable for evacuation of dust or dust particles, which are explosive or otherwise dangerous to health.

Acceptance of the Machine

Upon receipt, check your machine for possible transit damage and contact your freight company if you suspect damage.

How to put the machine into operation

Assembly

For ease of packing, the handle and side brush assembly are packed separately. These parts must be installed before the machine is put into operation. The handle is mounted by means of knobs. The handle can be fixed in two different positions as shown below.

Side Brush Assembly

1. Mount the side broom to the brush plate on the side arm assembly using hex head bolt and nylock nut
2. Position the V-Belt from the side arm assembly around the pulley attached to the backside of the right wheel. In order to do this it will be necessary to twist the V-Belt. The lower loop of the V-belt should be coming from the idler pulley (not from the broom pulley).
3. Attach the side arm assembly to the support side brush on the frame by aligning the bushing in the side arm with holes in the sides of the support side brush and inserting a pin. Secure the pin in place by inserting a retaining ring into the groove in the pin.
4. Check for proper rotation and operation of the side broom. The broom should rotate counter clockwise when the sweeper is pushed forward-if not the V-belt was installed incorrectly. If the belt slips the tension can be adjusted by loosening the 2 screws that attach the support side brush to the frame, move the bracket forward, then re-tighten the screws.

Operation

Controls

1. Pressure adjustment knob for Side Brush Used for setting of the side brush. The side brush may touch the floor only by its one third section, so as to throw the swept matter into the machine. The castor wheel is to keep the pre-set working height of the side brush.
2. Pressure adjustment knob for Main Brush Used for setting of the main brush pressure. The pressure must be set so as to assure perfect cleaning operation.
3. Knobs Used to secure the handle to the machine or to reposition it.

Excess pressure will cause unnecessary wear of the brush and increased load for the operator.

1. Main Brush Pressure Reading Scale Indicates the pressure at which the main brush has been set. Setting must be performed as described below:

Set the main brush by turning the knob clock-wise to increase the pressure, at this position the scale should read 5^

Starting with this setting, the main brush pressure can be increased to meet the requirement. (As the brush wears out)

Turn the knob in counter-clockwise direction to reduce the main brush pressure according to the task.

4. Main Brush Pressure Reading Scale

Operation of SWM 31/9

The unit operates with two brushes. The side brush takes dirt from the side into the reach of the main brush. The main brush maintains its direction of rotation to throw the dirt into the hopper in forward direction of the machine.

Overcoming Obstacles

In case of normal obstacles coming in the way of sweeping the unit should be pressed down at the handle. This will cause the two brushes to lift off from the floor and the machine can easily surmount these obstacles.

Emptying of Hopper

The hopper can be easily lifted by using the handle provided. The hopper is secured to the machine by means of the frame. The hopper must be in direct contact with the brush compartment in order to prevent leakage of dirt.

Renewal of Brush Assemblies

The main brush consists of a brush shaft with two brush core assemblies fastened with six self tapping screws. The brush cores can be replaced as below:

• Unscrew the self tapping screws
• Pull the brush core assembly to the front (broom viewed from user side) to remove it from the brush shaft.

When reassembly of the brush ensures the split pins are fixed in the holes to guide the brush.

Rubber Gaskets

The rubber gaskets avoid dust leakage produced by the brush. Damaged or used gaskets that fail must be replaced.

Greasing of the Main Wheels

For cleaning and greasing of the wheel axle and the gear ring, the main wheels must be removed as described below.

1. Remove hood, remove the bolt and domed cap nut from the wheel and pull the main wheel.
2. Unscrew the gear cover and apply grease in the gear area.
3. Reposition the main wheel.

Replacement and Tensioning of the V-belt

1. Lift up the side brush arm
2. Loosen the clamp screw and pull out the side brush from the brush arm.
3. Place the V-belt through the brush arm and put it on the V-belt pulley on the brush shaft.
4. Push the side brush back into the brush arm and re-tighten the clamp screw.
5. Place V-belt into the groove of the right-hand main wheel.

When the brush arm is put down, the V-belt must be tensioned so as to allow a perfect drive transmission, if necessary re-tighten by shifting of the side brush arm bearing.

Replacement of the Side Brush

The side brush can be replaced after removing hex-bolts from the side brush.

Reshaping of Bristles

If the bristles have been bent inwards in transit the side brush must be placed on a flat base, the bristles pointing outward and a weight must be placed on the plate. The bristles will regain their correct position gradually. If the bristles have been bent outwards, bring them together apply a rubber band around the bristles and allow it to stay for sometime. The bristles will regain their correct position gradually.
