The sweeper operates using the overthrow
principle.

and edges of the surface and move dirt
and debris into the path of the roller
brush.
– The rotating roller brush (2) moves the
dirt and debris directly into the waste
container (3).
– The dust raised in the container is sep-
arated by the dust filter (4) and the fil-
