5.2 Adjusting the sweeper
Height adjustment
NOTE
• Do not press the disc brushes onto the
ground too firmly.
• An excessive contact pressure will not
achieve a better cleaning result but will
increase the wear.
• An excessive contact pressure will
increase the pushing resistance.
NOTE
The knob for height adjustment of the
disc brushes is located in the middle
of the front section. The height adjust-
ment knob allows the height of the disc
brushes to be adjusted to the ground to
be swept.
1. Adjust to the required level (1):
• Level 1 – 2: for all flat, hard surfaces
(e.g. asphalt, concrete, slabs...)
• Level 3 – 4: for damp leaves, sand,
uneven surfaces
(e.g. washed concrete slabs)
• Level 5 – 8: for heavy soiling and very
uneven surfaces
2. To do this, turn the knob (2) anti-clock-
wise or clockwise to the desired posi-
tion.
