HOPPER DOOR LEVER
The hopper door lever is located on the operator’s
compartment center console and is used to close and
open the hopper dump door. The lever is a three position
hydraulic valve that is spring loaded to the center
position which “HOLDS” the hopper door in position.
NOTE
To provide hydraulic power to the hopper controls,
the broom control lever must be in the center
“Neutral” Position
To ensure the door is fully open while sweeping, monitor
the Hopper Dump Door light on the Warning Bank . The
light will illuminate when the door is not fully open.
To open the hopper dump door for sweeping or dumping,
push the lever forward in the “OPEN” direction until the
hopper dump door light goes out.
To close the hopper dump door for dumping or
transporting, pull the lever fully back in the “CLOSE”
direction and hold for 3 seconds or until you hear the
door close.
HOPPER LIFT LEVER
The hopper lift lever is located on the operator’s
compartment center console. The lever is a three
position hydraulic valve that controls the operation of
the hopper lift system. The lever is spring loaded to
the center position which stops hopper movement and
“HOLDS” the hopper at the present position.
NOTE
To provide hydraulic power to the hopper controls,
the broom control lever must be in the center
“Neutral” Position
To raise the hopper for dumping, move the lever back to
the “RAISE” position and hold until the hopper reaches
the desired height, then release.
WARNING
To prevent injury, Do not turn on the brooms with the
hopper raised.
To lower the hopper after dumping, move the lever
forward to the “LOWER” position until the hopper is fully
lowered and seated in the sweeper, then release.
DEBRIS DOOR
The hopper debris door provides the operator with easy
access to the hopper debris compartment for refuse
disposal or visual inspection of the removable fi lter baffl e
and hopper debris compartment. The debris door must
be closed while sweeping. Failure to close the door
completely will cause poor dust control while sweeping.
