EN

Fig. 7: Handle fi tting assembly
Two handle fi ttings (1) and the sliding bracket are included as individual parts in the delivery.
- Position the handle fittings (1) as shown in Figure 7.
- Insert the handle fi ttings in this position into the intended receptacle (2) of the sweeper. It may be necessary to slightly hit the handle fi ttings in this step.
» Make sure that the handle fi ttings audibly click into the device.
6.2 Install sliding bracket

CAUTION
Risk of injury through tipping over of the sliding bracket!
Tipping over of the sliding bracket may lead to slight injuries, such as jamming of the fi nger or haematomas in users or other persons.
- When carrying the device, hold it so that the sliding bracket cannot tip over.
Sliding bracket
The sliding bracket can be adjusted to the height of the user in two levels (A) and (B).
» (A): Lower level
» (B): Upper level

Fig. 8: Sliding bracket assembly
- Turn the handles (1) into the vertical position.
- Press the locking springs (3) inwards on both sides of the sliding bracket.
- Push the sliding bracket (2) into both handle fittings simultaneously.
» To do so, the sliding bracket must bent apart by about 10 cm before insertion in the handle fi ttings. - Push the sliding bracket (2) into the handle fi ttings until the locking springs lock in.
7. Operation

WARNING
Risk of cutting due to broken glass, metal or other sharp edged materials!
When emptying the sweeping container, cutting injuries may occur due to broken glass, metal or other sharp edged materials.
- Wear the prescribed personal protective equipment!

CAUTION
Health impairments caused by dust resulting from sweeping!
The inhalation of dusts can endanger the health
- Wear the prescribed personal protective equipment!
7.1 Before starting work
- Check the device to make sure that it is functioning before starting work.
- Check the sliding bracket to make sure that it is firmly fixed in the handle fittings.
- Check the sweeping container to make sure it is firmly fixed and in good condition.
- Check the plate brooms and the fi ne dust sweeping roller for rolled up threads and cords. Remove these if necessary.
- Check the plate brooms and the fi ne dust sweeping roller for jammed items or contamination.
- Check the handle for contamination and clean its if necessary.
7.2 Height adjustment of the plate brooms
The height of the brooms is adjusted with a dial in the middle of the front part. The height adjustment sets the plate brooms to the surface to be swept. The levels are based on empirical values and must therefore be considered as the levels are based on empirical values and must therefore be regarded as reference values. As a result, during sweeping, adaptations of the levels may need to be made depending on the surface.
• Level 1-2: for all level, hard surfaces
(e.g. asphalt, concrete, slabs...)
- Level 3-4: for damp leaves, sand, and uneven surfaces (e.g. washed concrete slabs)
• Level 5-7: for heavy soiling and severely uneven surfaces
NOTE
Do not press the plate brooms too firmly or the ground. A too high pressure does not achieve a better cleaning result, but rather leads to an increase in the pushing resistance and the wear of the device.

Fig. 9: Height adjustment of the plate brooms
- Set the required level:
- Turn the dial (1) to the left to lower the level.
- Turn the dial (1) to the right to increase the level.
» Lift the machine slightly by the handle. This will make it easier to adjust the height.
7.3 Set hold-down device
With the hold-down device, the right plate broom is adjusted to the edge regions to be swept, for example on walls or curbs.
EN
NOTE
An unsuitable setting of the hold-down device at lower edges can lead to excessive wear. The hold-down device must not scratch on the ground.

Fig. 10: Hold-down device setting
Sweeping out edges and corners
- Press down the handle of the hold-down device.
Operation on surfaces
- Pull up the handle of the hold-down device.
7.4 Operation
