Frequently Asked Questions - 96210 TORNADO

How do I start the machine?

Press the ON/OFF button (Fig. 5/1) to activate the drives. Lower the side brush using the lever (Fig. 6/4). Then actuate the drive bar (Fig. 5/7) on the handle to begin sweeping. Start moving immediately to avoid brush imprints on the floor.

How do I charge the batteries?

Open the charger cable flap (Fig. 6/5) and connect the power cable to a properly grounded 115V outlet. The charge control indicator (Fig. 7/2) shows status. While charging, control lamp (Fig. 5/5) illuminates. Charge immediately when the red LED flashes.

What daily maintenance is required?

Daily tasks include: checking battery charge and recharging if necessary, emptying the debris container (max 25 kg), cleaning the brush space, and checking the filter. Refer to the Maintenance Plan in section 5.1 for a full list.

How do I change the side brush?

Switch off the machine and lay it on its side. Remove the wing bolt and washer from underneath the side brush. Pull off the old brush. Align the drive pins on the new brush and secure with the wing bolt and washer. See Fig. 8.

How do I adjust the sweeping pattern?

For the rotary brush: open the hood, loosen the wing nut on the adjusting lever (Fig. 10/5), and pivot the lever until the brush touches the floor. For the side brush: use the adjusting bolt (Fig. 8/5) to achieve a pattern between 10:00 and 4:00 o'clock (Fig. 9). Tighten all fasteners after adjustment.

How do I clean the filter?

Use the shaking device lever (Fig. 6/2) several times to loosen dust. For heavy dirt, remove the debris container, unscrew the wing bolts, pivot down the filter support frame, and remove the filter. Beat it clean or use a vacuum cleaner. Reinstall with the seal facing the suction turbine.

What does a flashing control lamp indicate?

A flashing green lamp for rotary brush/suction turbine (Fig. 5/2) or side brush (Fig. 5/4) indicates an overload safety shutdown. Clear the obstruction or reduce load. The machine will reset once the overload is removed. Persistent flashing may require service.

Can I use this machine on carpets?

Yes, the machine is designed for hard floors and carpets. For carpet use, install the optional lint filter (Fig. 13/7) between the main filter and filter support frame to prevent clogging. Refer to section 5.6.3.

How do I dispose of the batteries?

Used batteries contain recyclable materials. Do not dispose in domestic waste. Follow local regulations for recycling. The symbol with a crossed-out bin indicates separate collection. Contact your local recycling center or Tornado dealer.

What is the maximum slope for operation?

The machine is intended for use on level surfaces with a maximum gradient of 2%. Do not operate on steeper slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control. See safety instructions in section 1.3.

3 Operation

3.1 Method of operation

The Tornado SWB 26/8 is a machine designed to sweep and clean waste from hard floors and carpets. The side brush (Fig. 4/1) sweeps the dirt from corners to a position in front of the rotary brush (Fig. 4/2). The rotary brush sweeps the larger particle dirt overhead into the debris container (Fig. 4/3). The finer dust picked up is drawn up by the suction turbine, fed into the filter system (Fig. 4/4) and filtered out. Only dust-free air is fed back into the ambient air. The machine is equipped with maintenance- free batteries (Fig. 4/5), a specially adapted, fully automatic battery charger (Fig. 4/6) and a total discharge signal transducer to protect it against total discharge.
