Page 21: Configurations
Operating instructions GS 0850 3.3.2 Configurations The GS 0850 has two different settings. The right setting will result in an optimum sweeping result. First of all, the distance between the brush and the surface to be swept can be adjusted: the brush height-setting. -
Page 22: Slantwise Adjustment Of Brush
Operating instructions GS 0850 When the height of the brush is adjusted in such a way that it sweeps the sweeping surface extending over a bigger length, it could result in increased brush wear. This shortens the brush's life. 3.3.4 Angle adjustment of the brush The brush can be placed in an angled position in relation to the direction of movement. - Page 23 Operating instructions GS 0850 The GS 0850 has three different movement positions: 1. Pull the handle towards you for the forward movement. The machine will now move forward. (see Illustration 1) Illustration 1 2. When the handle is left in the middle, the machine is in neutral. The machine will not move.
- Page 24 Operating instructions GS 0850 3. For backward position, push the handle away from you. The machine will now move backward. (see Illustration 4) Illustration 4 It is not allowed to install devices to lock the control that controls the machine's movements in a certain position. The installation of such device or any other device of the same purport will result in cancellation of the guarantee.
