Operating instructions
In the parking- and storage rooms
as well as repair shops
! Power gas and LPG cylinders
must be stored in compliance
with TRF 69 (LPG Technical

high gradients!
Danger!
The machine could topple over
when driving and turning on slopes.
— Drive only on slopes up to 18 %
in the travelling direction.
— At right angles to direction of
travel only negotiate gradients up
to a maximum of 15 %.
Risk of overturning when
taking bends rapidly!
Danger!
The machine can topple-over when
driving fast around curves.
! Drive slowly in curves.

Danger of tipping over

given an unstable travelling

surface!

Function description -

sweeping machine
The KM 100/100 R B and
KM 100/100 R LPG sweepers work
according to the throw-over
principle.
— The side brush (3) cleans corners
and edges of the sweeping
surface and transports the dirt in
the path of the main brush.
— The rotating main brush (4)
transports the dirt directly into the
debris container (5).
— The dust swirled up in the
container is separated by way of
the dust filter (2) and the filtered,
clean air removed by the suction
turbine (1).
