SWEEPING
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual.
1While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (51) and (NN).
2Release the Parking Brake (GG). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive
Pedal (OO) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
3Push the Lower Hopper Switch (V) to make sure the hopper is seated properly.
4Move the Main Broom Lever (II) to the SWEEP (middle notch) position to lower and enable the main broom. NOTE: The dump door opens automatically when the main broom (II) is lowered and closes when the broom is raised.
Use the FULL FLOAT (last notch forward) position only when sweeping extremely rough or uneven oors. Use at other times will only increase broom wear.
5 When sweeping dry oors, push the Dust Control Switch (X) to turn ON the dust control system.
When sweeping oors with puddles, push the Dust Control Switch (X) to turn OFF the dust control system before the machine enters a puddle. Turn the dust control system back ON when the machine is back on completely dry oor.
When sweeping wet oors, keep the Dust Control Switch (X) OFF at all times.
6Lower the Side Broom(s) (N) when sweeping along walls or curbs. Raise the Side Broom(s) (Y) when sweeping in open areas. Push and hold the Side Broom ON/DOWN Switch (N) to lower and start the side broom motor(s). NOTE: Hold the switch until the side broom(s) have lowered to the desired level. Side broom sweeping pattern is adjusted by pushing switches (N & Y) until the desired amount of down pressure is achieved. NOTE: If the side broom(s) were not raised and turned OFF after last use, they will automatically
lower and turn ON when the main broom is lowered and starts.
7Drive the machine straight forward at a quick walking speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping large amounts of dust or debris or when safe operation dictates slower speeds. Overlap passes 6 inches (15 cm).
8If dust comes out of the broom housing while sweeping, the Dust Control Filter (19) may be clogged. Push the Shaker Switch (Q) to
clean the dust control lter. The dust control system (X) will automatically turn OFF while the shaker is running and turn ON after the shaker turns OFF (the shaker runs for 20 seconds).
9Check behind the machine occasionally to make sure that the machine is picking up debris. Dirt left behind in the path of the machine usually indicates that the machine is moving too fast, the broom needs to be adjusted, or the hopper is full.
EMPTYING THE HOPPER
1Push the Shaker Switch (Q) to remove excess dirt from the dust control lter. SERVICE NOTE: For best shaker performance always run the shaker with the hopper fully down.
2Drive the machine close to a large trash receptacle and hold the Raise Hopper Switch (W) until the hopper is all the way up. NOTE: The dump door automatically closes when switch (W) is pushed. You regain control of the dump door as soon as the hopper begins to raise so you can dump at any height if necessary.
3Move the machine forward until the hopper is over the receptacle, then press the Open Dump Door Switch (R) to open the dump door and empty the hopper.
4Check the back of the hopper and the front of the broom housing. Use a broom, if necessary, to remove litter from these areas. The back of the hopper must seal tightly against the front of the broom housing for proper operation.
5Back the machine away from the receptacle until the hopper will clear it, and then lower the hopper (V). NOTE: The dump door will automatically open when sweep function is resumed.
