Working

The driver is requested to read the
operating manual carefully. All the oper-
ating levers are marked with easy-to-
understand symbols that facilitate famil-
iarisation. Pick a space void of traffic
and pedestrians or a clear open stretch
of road for an initial test drive until you
are familiar with all the individual con-
trols and their functions.
Please observe the following
safety instructions:
When working with the Sweep-
master, observe all the safety
measures generally applicable
for handling road vehicles and
fuels. Transporting people on
the Sweepmaster is strictly
prohibited. The warning and in-
formation signs attached to the
Sweepmaster provide impor-
tant information on safe opera-
tion. Adherence helps to guar-
antee personal safety.
Before commencing work,
make sure the Sweepmaster
and its work equipments are in
proper working order and com-
ply with the provision for safety
at work. Never operate the
Sweepmaster without effective
protective devices.

3.6.1 Before starting the engine

Open the seat hood and perform the
following checks:
- Check the engine oil level, see
page 49.
- Check the fuel quantity, see page 16
- Visually inspect the V-belt, see
page 52.
- If necessary, open the fuel valve be-
neath the fuel tank, see page 52.
- Close the seat hood.

3.6.2 Starting the engine

For reasons of safety, Sweepmaster
P900 R is equipped with a seat contact
switch. The engine can only be started
or only runs when the driver is sitting on
the driver's seat.
- All control levers and switches must
be in the zero position. Apply the
parking brake.
- Actuate the choke (only with a cold
engine).
- Turn the ignition key slightly to the
right – the ignition is turned on.
- Continue to turn the ignition key and
start the engine.
If the starting procedure has to be re-
peated or if the engine stops, it can
only be restarted after turning off the
ignition. An engine re-start interlock in
the ignition lock prevents the starter
from being actuated while the engine
is running.
