HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE (cont)

How to Operate the Side Broom (Optional):

1.Engage the side broom in "SWEEP" position by grasping the head assembly, pulling forward and rotating downward until the pin in the arm assembly is against the stop on the locating collar. Turn off engine or motor when adjusting sode broom.

2.When adjusting the side broom, the most effective setting for the side broom is generally having about one-third of the bristles engaged with the floor in "SWEEP" positon.

3.To change the angle of the broom, to the floor, loosen the knob and rotate the head assembly until the desired anfle is obtained.

To change the height of the side broom, i.e., (1) lower or more bristle contact; (2) higher or less bristle contact, follow these instructions:

1.Lower the broom assembly to its engaged position and be certain the locking pin is in its slot on the collar.

2.Loosen the two socket head screws which lock the split collar to the tubular bumper.

3.Swivel the collar until the correct height is obtained. Hold in this position, maintaining tension on the side broom belt, and tighten the two screws to lock the collar.

Sweeping

Stand behind the machine and push the control handle down toactivate the clutch, which supplies forward motion.

Turning the sweeper will be easier if down pressure is released on the control handle just before starting to make a turn.

To stop the machine, release the down pressure on the control handle.

To stop the engine (Model 28G) turn stop switch OFF.

To stop motor (Model 28B), turn OFF/ON switch to "OFF" position.

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.
