SWEEPING

WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills.
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual. Start the engine following the instructions in the appropriate
"Starting the ... Engine" section (Engine models).
1 While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position.
2 Release the Parking Brake (38). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal
(37) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
3 Push the Lower Hopper Switch (II) to make sure the hopper is seated properly.
4 Press the One-Touch™ Sweep Switch (Y) to lower and the main broom and side brooms. The main broom, side brooms, dust control and
optional DustGuard (if installed) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (37) is activated. Side brooms (CC), dust control (FF) and DustGuard
(DD) can each be turned off and on individually by pressing their corresponding switch. NOTE: The dump door opens automatically when the
main broom is lowered and closes when the broom is raised.
Press the Main Broom Float Switch (GG) only when sweeping extremely rough or uneven oors. Use at other times will only increase broom
wear. When in the full oat position the oat switch indicator light will be ON, press the Float Switch (GG) to return to the normal mode.
5 When sweeping oors with puddles, push the Dust Control Switch (FF) 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 (FF) OFF at all times.
6 To adjust the side broom sweeping pattern or main broom sweeping pressure, see the Maintenance section.
7 Drive 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).
8 If dust comes out of the broom housing while sweeping, the Dust Control Filter (17) may be clogged. Push the Shaker Switch (EE) to clean
the dust control lter. The dust control system (FF) will automatically turn OFF while the shaker is running and turn ON after the shaker turns
OFF (the shaker runs for 15 seconds). Run the shaker (EE) every 10 minutes on average (depending upon the dustiness of the area being
cleaned). For proper machine operation, the dust lter must be kept as clean as possible.
9 Check 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.
10 When the operator wants to stop sweeping, press the One-Touch™ Sweep Switch (Y). This will automatically raise and stop the main and
side brooms. The dust control and DustGuard (if installed) will turn off. The hopper door will close and the shaker motor will run for 15
seconds.

EMPTYING THE HOPPER

WARNING!
Make sure the Hopper Safety Bar (23) is engaged whenever attempting to do any maintenance work under or near the raised hopper.
The Hopper Safety Bar (23) holds the hopper in the raised position to allow work to be performed under the hopper. NEVER rely on
the machine's hydraulic components to safely support the hopper.
NOTE: The MINIMUM ceiling height dumping clearance required for raising the hopper is 90" (228.6 cm).
1 Press the Filter Shaker Switch (EE) to remove excess dirt from the dust control lter. SERVICE NOTE: For best shaker performance
always run the shaker with the hopper fully down.
2 Drive the machine close to a large trash receptacle and hold the Raise Hopper Switch (HH) until the hopper is all the way up. NOTE: The
dump door automatically closes when switch (HH) is pushed. You regain control of the dump door as soon as the hopper begins to rise so
you can dump at any height if necessary.
3 Move the machine forward until the hopper is over the receptacle and set the Parking Brake (38). Press the Hopper Door Open Switch (JJ)
to open the dump door and empty the hopper. NOTE: If not dumping into a trash receptacle, low dumping is recommended to help eliminate
airborne dust.
4 Put the Hopper Safety Bar (23) in place by pulling back on the Hopper Safety Bar Handle (21), then press the Hopper Lower Switch (II) to
lower the hopper slightly and secure.
5 Check the hopper door and the front edge seal. Use a broom, if necessary, to remove litter from these areas. The hopper door must seal
tightly against the broom housing for proper operation.
6 Return to the operator's compartment. Release the parking brake. Press and hold the Hopper Door Close Switch (KK) to close the hopper
door. Move the machine back until the hopper will clear the receptacle. Raise the hopper slightly and push forward on the Hopper Safety Bar
Handle (21) until the Hopper Safety Bar (23) disengages, then press the Hopper Lower Switch (II) to lower the hopper. NOTE: The brooms
will not turn on if the hopper is not completely down.
