How to Empty Debris Hopper, Cartridge Panel Filter

HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE (cont)

How to Empty Debris Hopper:

WARNING: To prevent injury , always stop the en- gine or motor before you empty the hoppers or clean the filter.

1.Grasp the hopper by the handle provided and lift out until clear of frame.

2.Dump debris in appropriate location and replace hopper in machine. (See Fig. #3)

3.Release the two (2) retaining latches on either side of the hopper.

4.Slide the hopper out (toward the rear) from under the filter compartment.

5.Dump dust and debris in appropriate location and replace hopper in machine.

6.Snap retaining latches to hold hopper. (See Fig. 4)

Cartridge (Panel) Filter

To insure continued maximum efficiency of the dust control system on your sweeper, the cartridge filter should be removed and cleaned often. The frequency of this cleaning is related to the sweeping appliaction; i.e., the dustier the area is, the more frequently the filter should be cleaned.

Cleaning Panel Filter

Remove from machine and tap gently on flat surface, dirty side down. (See Fig. 5)

Use compressed air (100 psi maximum), directing it through the panel opposite the direction of the arrows.

Soak for fifteen minutes in water and a low-foaming, mild detergent. Rinse with water until clean (maximum 40 psi).

Air Dry - Do not use compressed air.

Accordion Type Cloth Filter (Optional)

To insure continued maximum efficiency of the dust control system on your sweeper, the cloth type filter should be frequently shaken (See Fig. 6) using the handles provided. The dustier an area is, the more often the shakedown should be done. The dust hopper should then be emptied.

How to Clean the Cloth Filter

Remove filter assembly from the machine. Direct com- pressed air through material opposite the normal air flow direction. (See Fig. 7)

Wash with a mild low-foaming detergent and water. Let dry thoroughly before putting back into service.

NOTE: This filter is treated wuth a flame retardant chemical. The washing method of cleaning neutralizes and/or eliminates this resistance to burning.

Clarke® Model SPS-28 Space Sweeper Operator's Manual

SPS-28 specifications

The Clarke SPS-28 is a cutting-edge marine navigation system designed to enhance vessel safety, efficiency, and performance. This innovative system integrates advanced technologies to provide real-time data and analytics, improving situational awareness for operators in various maritime environments.

One of the standout features of the Clarke SPS-28 is its robust Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) integration. The SPS-28 uses multiple GNSS signals, ensuring high accuracy and reliability, even in challenging conditions. This multi-constellation support allows the system to maintain precise positioning for vessels navigating through busy ports or remote areas alike.

Another key aspect of the SPS-28 is its advanced radar capabilities. The microwave radar technology employed in the system allows for accurate object detection and tracking in all weather conditions. The radar’s long-range capabilities enable users to identify potential obstacles or vessel traffic well in advance, giving operators ample time to make informed navigational decisions.

The user interface of the SPS-28 is designed for simplicity and ease of use. Featuring a high-resolution touchscreen display, the system allows users to quickly access essential data, including navigational charts, AIS (Automatic Identification System) information, and vessel performance metrics. The intuitive graphical interface minimizes the operator’s workload by presenting critical information in a clear and concise manner.

Safety is a paramount consideration for the Clarke SPS-28. The system includes built-in safety features such as collision avoidance alerts and anchor watch functionalities. These features provide real-time alerts to prevent potential accidents, ensuring that vessels can navigate safely in congested waters or during challenging weather conditions.

In addition to navigation, the SPS-28 is equipped with several communication technologies, including VHF radio and satellite capabilities. This connectivity ensures that vessels remain in contact with other ships and shore-based operations, facilitating smooth coordination and response during emergencies.

Furthermore, the SPS-28 is designed with adaptability in mind, able to integrate with other onboard systems such as autopilot, engine management, and environmental monitoring tools. This integration enables a comprehensive approach to vessel management, streamlining operations and maximizing efficiency.

Overall, the Clarke SPS-28 represents a significant advancement in marine navigation technology, offering a suite of features that enhance safety, performance, and operational efficiency for modern seafaring vessels. With its state-of-the-art technologies and user-friendly design, it is an invaluable asset for mariners navigating the complexities of today’s maritime challenges.
