Page 18: Components And Their Function
Basics Components and their function Gearbox housing right and left W / W Pro The gearbox housing is the drive unit of the cleaner. All components neces- sary for the drive of the brush rollers are installed here. The drive force is trans- mitted from the gearbox housing to the brush roller via a drive gear wheel. - Page 19 Basics W / W Pro Pendulum tube The pendulum tube reduces the trans- mission of vibrations and movements from the cleaner to the high-pressure hose, thereby reducing work fatigue. W / W Pro The guying system reinforces the con- nection between the high-pressure hose Guying system and the cleaner.
- Page 20 Basics W Pro Switch button The switch button changes the point of impact of the high-pressure water on the turbine wheel, thereby enabling the direction of rotation of the brush roller to be changed. In this way, the cleaner is pushed away from the operator or back towards him.
- Page 21 Basics W / W Pro Safety eyelet The safety eyelet on the connection pin is for attaching the safety rope, which is used to secure the cleaner to an anchor point to prevent it from falling off the roof. W / W Pro The eyelets on the profile tube are for attaching the guying system to the cleaner.
