Picking up large items (sticks, cans, etc.)

Caution!

towards the front of the sweeper. Make sure when you open the flap that no
person, animal or equipment will be endangered.
n Press the pedal and the bulk waste flap will open.
n Drive over the large items at slow speed with the bulk waste flap open.
Note:
In order to prevent dust being created unnecessarily, close the bulk waste flap
again as soon as possible.

Overcoming obstacles

Obstacles up to 5 cm in height
– You can drive over these without any problems. Open the bulk waste flap
beforehand.
Obstacles up to a maximum of 10 cm in height (e.g. kerbs)
– You can slowly drive backwards over these at an angle of 45°. Raise the
brush roller and open the bulk waste flap beforehand.
Obstacles more than 10 cm in height

If you do not intend to use the sweeper for a longer period of time
(e.g. during the winter months), proceed as follows:
n Drain the fuel tank.
n Close the fuel tap.
n Make sure the side brush and main brush roller are raised in order to
avoid damage to the bristles.
n Clean the inside and outside of the sweeper.
n Change the engine oil (see chapter on "Maintenance").
n Park the sweeper where it is protected from the elements and secure it
against rolling away.
n Pull out the ignition key.

months (see chapter on "Maintenance").

properly secured so that it cannot move unintentionally.
