

Set the drive direction indicator to posi-

tion (2) (reverse drive).  



Release parking brake.



Press accelerator pedal down slowly.

Note

Driving method

–

A warning tone is sounded while revers-

ing.

–

The accelerator pedal can be used to 

vary the driving speed infinitely.

–

Avoid pressing the pedal suddenly as 

this may damage the hydraulic system.

–

In the event of power loss on inclined 

surfaces, slightly reduce the pressure 

on the accelerator pedal.

–

Change the driving direction only after 

the vehicle has come to a halt.



Release the accelerator pedal, the ma-

chine brakes automatically and stops.

몇

Warning

Raise the side-brushes and the suction 

opening before overtaking hurdles.

Hurdles up to 150 mm in height:



Bypass the hurdle slowly and carefully 

at an angle of 45°. 

Hurdles more than 150 mm in height:



Only drive over these obstacles using a 

suitable ramp.

몇

Warning

Risk of damage! Ensure that the vehicle 

does not get stuck up.



Danger

Risk of injury! If the bulk waste flap is open, 

stones or gravel may be flung forwards by 

the roller brush. Make sure that this does 

not endanger persons, animals or objects.

몇

Warning

Do not sweep up packing strips, wire or 

similar objects as this may choke up the 

suction canal.

몇

Warning

To avoid damaging the floor, do not contin-

ue to operate the sweeping machine in the 

same position.

Note

To achieve an optimum cleaning result, the 

driving speed should be adjusted to take 

specific situations into account.

Note

During operation, the waste container 

should be emptied at regular intervals.



Set the idle running for the motor rpm 

setting to 1600-1800 1/min.

(see console ).

Note

The motor rpm can be called via the multi-

functional display. 



Turn on the working hydraulics (1st lev-

el).

(see operating panel).



Switch on the suction turbine and the 

side-brushes (2nd step).

Note

Only driving is possible if the working hy-

draulics is switched off. 



Set the side-brush speed on the speed 

regulator.

(see operating panel).

–

In clock-wise direction: Side-brush 

speed increases

–

Anti-clockwise direction: Side-brush 

speed decreases



Press spray water button. 

(see console ).

Spray water for side-brushes and suction 

opening gets activated.

Note

The function of the spray-water pump is 

displayed on a yellow indicator lamp, see 

multi-functional display.

If the tank is empty, the yellow indicator 

lamp goes off.



Switch-off spray water.



Fill the water reservoir.



Adjust the water flow to the side-brush-

es using the regulation valve.

–

In clock-wise direction: Water flow in-

creases

–

Anti-clockwise direction: Water flow de-

creases

Note

There is an accessory with 2 regulation 

valves for separately controlling the water 

flow to both the sides. 

The applicance is fitted with a water circu-

lation system for increasing the duration of 

usage (fresh water reservoir). In the water 

circulation system, the water from the 

waste container is guided to the suction 

opening and thus circulated. Further, it is 

also possible to add fresh water.



Fill the waste container with water up to 

the end of the front slant. To suck in 

leaves, fill lesser quantity of water in the 

waste container.



Set the lever for recycling to ON.



Regulate additional supply of fresh wa-

ter to the suction opening using the le-

ver for suction opening.



Switch on the suction turbine; start 

cleaning work.



After finishing operations, switch off the 

suction turbine approx. 30 seconds af-

ter the suction opening has got raised. 

This will prevent water from leaking 

when the appliance has been switched 

off.



Every time you empty the waste con-

tainer, rinse the sieve in the waste con-

tainer using the water hose and clean 

the space behind the sieve. 



Set the lever for recycling to OFF while 

operating without water circulation. 



When the appliance is switched off, 

make sure the lever for recycling is set 

to OFF because otherwise the hoses 

leading to the suction opening will get 

blocked.



The sieve and the space behind the 

sieve must be cleaned every time you 

empty the waste container even if you 

are operating the appliance without wa-

ter circulation.

2-brush system:



Press the toggle switch downward. The 

side-brushes will be lowered.

(see console ).



Press the toggle switch upward. Side 

brushes lift up.

–

The hydraulic side-brush relief reduces 

the contact pressure of the brush on the 

track. 

–

The floor is protected against friction 

and wear if the brushes are relieved 

and this also increases the life of the 

brushes. 

–

The relief can be adjusted in infinitely 

variable steps depending on the track 

surface and the dirt that appears. 

Raise/lower side-brushes:



Press the toggle switch downward. The 

side-brushes are lowered; the relief is 

deactivated.

(see console ).



Toggle switch in central position. The 

side-brushes are lowered; the relief is 

activated.



Press the toggle switch upward. Side 

brushes lift up.

Setting the hydraulic side-brush relief:



Setting the relief of the brushes at the 

speed regulator. 

The side-brushes can individually be 

stopped in a raised position.



Close the ball tap when the side-brush-

es are lifted up.



Move joystick to position (2). Side-

brushes are driven out.



Move joystick to position (4). Side-

brushes are drawn in.

Note

Only 2-brush system: The side-brushes 

can only be driven out when they are rotat-

ing.

Note

To sweep in larger objects such as bever-

age cans or larger quantities of leaves, it is 

necessary to briefly raise the bulk waste 

flap.

Raising bulk waste flap:



Press the pedal for the bulk waste flap 

forwards and keep pressed down.



To lower it, take foot off pedal.

Note

An optimum cleaning result can only be 

achieved if the bulk waste flap has been 

lowered completely.

To avoid deposits in the suction channel 

and durst formation, the water supply to the 

brush nozzles must be on. 



Switch on the spray water.

(see console ).

Switch off the water supply to the brush 

nozzles if there is practically no dust forma-

tion. 



Switch-off spray water.

(see console ).

Note

To achieve an optimum cleaning result, the 

driving speed or rahter the sweeping width 

should be adjusted to take specific situa-

tions into account.

The front side-brushes can be driven in or 

out depending on how dirty the plane sur-

face is. 



Drive out the side-brushes (2).



Drive in the side-brushes (4).

Note

The sweeping width should be adjusted ac-

cording to how dirty the plane surface is so 

that the waste can be sucked in completely. 

The inclination of the front side-brushes 

can be adjusted according to the geometry 

of the driving path.



Tilt the right side-brushes (1).



Tilt the left side-brushes (2).



Tilt the right side-brushes if required.
