User manual HUSQVARNA SR 600 SWEEPER ATTACHMENT

[. . . ] Non authorised modifications and/or accessories can result in serious personal injury or the death of the operator or others. This accessory may only be used together with the intended clearing saw/trimmer, see under heading "Approved accessories" in chapter Technical data in the machine's Operator's Manual. Always use approved personal protection equipment when you use the sweeper. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. [. . . ] Safety instructions before starting work Remove all loose objects, such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, twine and the like that could be thrown outwards or become entangled in the sweeper. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should stand outside of the safety zone of 15 m (50 feet). Check for fuel leakage and that all safety guards and covers are complete and fastened securely. check all nuts and bolts · Check that the sweeper rollers are not cracked or damaged in any other way. For example, thick fog, heavy rain, strong winds or extreme cold, etc. To work in bad weather conditions is tiring and can create dangerous circumstances, e. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement (roots, stones, branches, pits, ditches, etc. Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have good sight of it. Safety instructions while working ⷠAlways ensure you have a safe and firm foothold. Keep your hands and feet away from the sweeper when the engine is running. When the engine has been switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the sweeper until it has come to a complete stop. ⷠThe sweeper works best when the rubber blades can quickly slide over or stroke the surface. New or replaced sweeper rollers tend to stick or drag on hard surfaces, and should therefore be run in properly before use. The easy way to run them in is to run the machine at full throttle for 3­5 minutes on loose gravel or a similarly abrasive material. After running-in the sweeper can easily clear a wide variety of materials, from snow and puddles of water, to heavier objects such as gravel and wood chippings. With practice you will learn how the sweeper works, but you must think of safety right from the start! ⷠAlways drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage. When you want to clear narrow areas, such as pavements, the machine can be used so that it throws the material straight ahead of you. If you want to cover wider areas you may need to work at an angle so that long heaps build up on one side. Long heaps consisting of light material can be gathered together in a single line or pile for collecting later, while hard or bulky material may have to be collected in several long heaps. To clear in corners you can change the direction of rotation by turning over the machine. [. . . ] The split pin must be flush with the outer end of the roller, so you may need to push on the end plate slightly to fit it. Bend back the legs of the split pin as shown, to ensure that the sweeper roller is held in place. Repeat steps 1­7 to fit the shaft and roller on the other side. The rollers are identical, but they must both be fitted with the extended rubber blades nearest the gearbox. [. . . ]
