HSS Hire 58733 Operating & Safety Manual

Plug the charger into a RCD protected 240V power
supply and switch the power ON.
A full charge (8 to 10 hours) will give the machine
approximately 1.5 hours of continuous working
time. If the battery fails to charge, contact your local HSS
Hire Shop.
Before starting, ensure the debris box is empty and
the filter is clean by operating the Dust Filter Shaker
several times to discharge any dust/debris. To empty
the debris box undo and unhook the catch. Wheel
it out and dispose of the waste carefully. Refit the debris
box. Never operate the sweeper with the box
removed.
To operate the sweeper, release the parking brake
on the front jockey wheel. Insert the key into the
switch, push it down and turn it to 'I'(ON). The
motor will start to rotate the main brush
immediately.
Squeeze the outrigger broom lever to lower and
operate the outrigger broom. Gently squeeze the
drive lever to move the sweeper forward. Release
the drive lever to stop the machine. (To extend
battery life the sweeper may be pushed by the operator).
BASIC TECHNIQUES
It is advisable to familiarise yourself with the
sweeper' s controls in an area with plenty of space
and few obstacles.
The outrigger broom should be used for sweeping
along the edges of a wall or kerb.
To sweep up large objects such as a drinks can,
push down slightly on the handles to tilt the
machine back.
Before sweeping over wet surfaces, the debris box
should be opened slightly by releasing the catch.
This will open the container by approximately 8cm.
Periodically empty the debris box and check the
battery indicator. Always clean the filter BEFORE
opening the box and never allow the battery to
become totally drained.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Ask at
your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never expose the equipment to dangerous or
corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
When switching OFF , and when not in use for
long periods, raise the outrigger broom so that it
will not become deformed. Lock the parking brake.
If transporting, the machine should be secured
with belts or ropes.
FINISHING OFF
Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth
only. Never use cleaning agents.
The interior may be cleaned by using a compressed
air hose. Remove any debris caught in the sweeper
roller.
