Safety Information
• The vehicle must only be started, put
into motion and stopped from the
seat.
• Ensure there is sufficient ventilation
when sweeping in closed spaces
(dust).
• The driving speed must always be
adapted to the ambient conditions
and load status.
Three-wheel vehicles are less stable
than four-wheel vehicles, therefore:
avoid sudden steering movements
when driving at higher speeds, tak-
ing corners at too high a speed could
cause the vehicle to tip. Only use the
vehicles on level surfaces, never on
gradients. Drive up and down in-
clines in straight lines. When driving
up, down or across slopes, avoid
turning corners suddenly or in jerks.
There is a risk of tipping when in an
inclined position!
• Do not drive the vehicle on slopes
with a gradient steeper than the limit
gradient indicated on the vehicle.
• The approved gross total weight and
permissible axle loads must never
be exceeded. Check the fill level of
the dirt hopper at frequent intervals.
• Only put the vehicle into operation
when the seat console is closed and
the shaking device lever has been
pushed in.
• Before starting work, the operator
must be fully familiar with all adjust-
ment, operating and control ele-
ments as well as their respective
function. It is too late to do this when
the vehicle is actually in operation!
• Always wear heavy duty, non-slip
footwear when working with the vehi-
cle.
• The vehicle may only be driven on
and the equipment used on those
surfaces which have been approved
by the contractor or person appoint-
ed by him.
• Adapt your manner of driving ac-
cording to the local characteristics.
• It is forbidden to use the vehicle in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
• When using the vehicle, it is essen-
tial to pay attention to third parties,
especially children.
• It is forbidden to transport people on
the vehicle.
• Drive away immediately after switch-
ing on the cylindrical broom, other-
wise the broom may leave
impressions on the contact surface.
• Never leave the vehicle unattended
while it is in operation.
• Remove the key from the key switch
to prevent unauthorized use of the
vehicle.
• Never leave the batteries in a dis-
charged state but recharge them as
soon as possible.
• The filter may only be shaken when
the dirt hopper has been closed.
• Never exceed the max. load capacity
of the hoppers! This could increase
the stopping distance. Caution, par-
ticularly when sweeping up iron fil-
ings for example!
• Only empty the contents of the dirt
hopper from a low height in order to
avoid causing dust. Where appropri-
ate, pay attention to the wind direc-
tion and evade clouds of dust. Health
hazard!
• When transporting the vehicle, the
vehicle must be switched off and the
side broom raised.
