Note
The vacuum pulls the suction pipe against the cover and the suc-
tion hose contracts. This is necessary to allow it to be stowed in
the bracket.
4. Press the rest of the suction hose into the bracket and press
the flap closed until the latch engages.
5. Switch off the blower.
6. Press in the switch lever into the "Work in sweeping mode" po-
sition.

Attachments

Note
Please read the attachment operating instructions before fitting
an attachment.
Attachments are optional and can be fitted to the front power lift
(see chapter Front power lift (option)) or to the front or rear
mounting frames.
DANGER
Danger due to change to vehicle's centre of gravity and to
driving characteristics. When transporting fluids, sloshing
motion may occur, which will then rock the vehicle.
In the case of modifications, particularly when converting from
winter to summer use and in the case of changes to load condi-
tions, the driver must be prepared for the change in driving char-
acteristics.
WARNING
Risk of crushing when attaching attachments
Do not reach between the front power lift and the attachment.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot hydraulic couplings
Wear protective gloves when disconnecting the hydraulic cou-
plings.
ATTENTION
Wear suitable protective clothing, safety gloves and gloves when
installing and removing attachments. This also applies during us-
age and application.
Please contact your responsible dealer before fitting attachments
that are not specifically intended for this vehicle. Your dealer will
check if installation and use of these attachments is permitted on
your vehicle. This is important for the safety of the driver and the
vehicle and also for any warranty claims.
Attachments that endanger the safety or stability of the vehicle
may not be used.

Coupling the attachments with the vehicle

Coupling on hydraulic hose

Coupling on vehicle
2
Ring
3
1. Pull the ring of the coupling down and hold it.
2. Insert the hydraulic hose of the attachment into the coupling.
3. Release the ring of the coupling.
4. To decouple the ring, pull it down, hold it and pull out the hy-
draulic hose.
Note
For permissible support load and trailer load, see chapter Tech-
nical data.
Checking adjusting the attachment locking
The locking mechanism secures the attachment devices (e.g.
sweeper system, front power lift).
CAUTION
Danger of accident
Check the locking mechanism for correct adjustment with each
attachment.
Locking lever

Clamping nut

1. Press the locking lever downwards.
The lock is engaged beyond the dead point.
2. Adjust the lock via the clamping nut.

Ballasting of the vehicle

Note
The front axle of the vehicle must always be loaded with at least
30%, the rear axle with at least 30% of the net weight of the ve-
hicle!
Prior to purchasing the attachment, check that these precondi-
tions are met by weighing the vehicle/attachment combination.
To calculate the total weight, the axle loads and the tyre load ca-
pacity as well as the necessary minimum ballast, the following
data is required:
 All weights are in (kg)
 All dimensional specifications in (m)
TL (kg) = Net weight of the vehicle
TV (kg) = Front axle load of the empty vehicle
TH (kg) = Rear axle load of the empty vehicle
GH (kg) = Total weight of rear attachment/rear ballast **
GV (kg) = Total weight of front attachment/front bal-
