Setting the machine to transport mode

To transport the machine (without sweeping), it is necessary to set the transfer mode according to the following procedure:

1.Check that the parking brake (13, Fig. E) is engaged.

2.Start the engine as shown in the previous paragraph.

3.Check that the hopper (6, Fig. G) is lowered and that the warning light (3, Fig. D) is off.
