SWEEPER OPERATION
1. If necessary, adjust the handlebar (1) to one of the 3 positions, by
using the knobs (2).

a normal walking pace. The machine does not work if dragged
backwards.
3. The collection tank (3) should be emptied after each working cycle
and whenever it is full.
AFTER USING THE MACHINE
After working, before leaving the machine: empty the collection tank (4)
and check the main brooms (8 and 9) to remove foreign materials (lace,
wire, strings or similar) which can compromise the proper operation.
To store the machine in a narrow place, fold the handlebar (1).
– Loosen the knobs (2) and pull the handlebar upwards.
– Fold down the handlebar and lock it.
Then place the machine in a vertical position to preserve the broom
bristles.
BROOM ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the broom height when the bristles are worn or when their
efficiency is compromised.
1. Adjust the height of the main broom (9) with the two knobs (7). When
turning them, each step on the marked numbers amounts to a broom
lowering.
Check that the two knobs (7) are on the same marked number.
Otherwise there will be a difference in the longitudinal pressure of
the broom.
2. Adjust the height of the side brooms (6) with the knobs (5). When
turning them counter-clockwise, each step amounts to a broom
lowering.
After the adjustment, push the machine to check that it moves smoothly,
without difficulty or resistance. Otherwise, repeat the broom adjustment
procedure.
If the brooms are too worn, replace them.
