WARNING

The hopper could fall and cause serious injury.

Always engage the hopper safety arm before working under the hopper.

HOPPER

The hopper houses the debris compartment, the dust control filter and the removable dust baffle. For maximum performance and service life, keep the hopper clean and inspect the seals and flaps daily.

Clean the hopper prior to parking the sweeper at the end of the day. A clean hopper will make inspecting the flaps and seals much easier and will prevent premature deterioration of hopper components. Do not leave the hopper full of debris while in storage or when parked for extended periods of time.

CLEANING THE HOPPER

Once the hopper has been emptied the inside of the hopper should be rinsed out with water.

CHECKING THE HOPPER SEALS

The hopper seals are important to positive dust control while sweeping. Damaged seals will reduce vacuum pressure at the broom. Inspect for cuts, tears and proper positioning of the seal material. Replace all seals that become damaged.

DUST CONTROL FILTER

The dust control filter should be checked daily for damage and cleaned if necessary. A damaged filter must be replaced to prevent damage to other dust control system components. Inspect the filter for tears in the filter media or excessive dirt lodged in the pleats. A tear in the filter media will allow dirt to pass through the filter and can be easily seen as a dirty patch on the top side on the filter. Cleaning of the filter is necessary when the filter shaker fails to adequately clean the pleats.

CHECKING THE DUST CONTROL FILTER

1.Park the machine on a smooth level surface, turn the key switch to the “O” position and engage the parking brake.

2.Raise the hopper lid for access to the filter compartment.

3.Turn the filter latch, lift the filter frame and remove the filter.

4.Inspect the panel filter for tears and clean or replace if necessary.

5.Reinstall the filter, lower the filter frame and engage the filter latch.

6.Close the hopper cover.

CLEANING THE DUST CONTROL FILTER

Clean the dust control filter when the shaker fails to adequately clear the filter. The filter can be cleaned with compressed air not to exceed 100 PSI. To clean the filter with compressed air, apply the compressed air to the topside of the panel to backflush the lodged dirt from the filter pleats. Be careful to not damage the filter media while cleaning. The filter can be cleaned with a solution of soap and water. If this cleaning method is used do not use the filter until it has completely dried.
