HELPFUL HINTS FOR SWEEPING - See Figure 9

Here are some suggestions to keep in mind while sweeping.

1.Plan your sweeping in advance. Try to arrange long runs with minimum stopping and starting.

2.Pick up large debris before sweeping with the Machine.

3.Use the sweeper to sweep debris from side aisles into the main aisle.

4.After the Sweeper has made a sweeping run, turn off the dust control switch and use the filter shaker, Push and hold the shaker switch for approximately 15 seconds

5.Allow a few inches of overlap of sweep paths. This will eliminate leaving dirty patches.

6.Sweep in straight paths and do not bump posts or scrape the sides of the machine.

7.Periodically turn the sweeping broom end for end to prevent the bristles from “setting” in one direction.

8.Do not turn steering wheel too sharply when machine is in motion. The machine is very responsive to movement of the steering wheel - so avoid sudden turns.

9.As the Hopper becomes full, the sweeper will start to leave debris on the floor. When this occurs stop sweeping and empty the hopper.
