HOW TO SWEEP
The sweeper is intended for use on hard relatively fl at surfaces such as cement, asphalt, and wood block
fl oors. Exercise care when maneuvering to keep wheels from dropping off curbs or into pot holes. Do not
sweep over obstructions.
WARNING
Do Not Turn The Steering Wheel Sharply When The Machine Is In Motion. The Sweeper Is Very
Responsive To Movement Of The Steering Wheel. Do Not Make Sudden Turns.
The sweeper is designated for dry sweeping conditions. Wet clay and muddy type material will adhere to
surface of sweeping chamber and hopper. Sweeping performance will degrade if these surfaces are not kept
clean. Large heavy objects such as bricks, large stone, and iron parts should not be swept. Damage to the
main broom or other sweeping system components is possible. String, rope, wire or metal strapping longer
than 18 inches should not be swept. These items have a tendency to wrap around moving parts. This can
cause damage or degrade sweeping performance.
SWEEPING GUIDELINES
In actual sweeping, there is no single pattern that can be set forth in this manual. Each installation has its
own conditions, and the operator can readily set his own pattern using these guidelines.
-Pick up large debris before sweeping with machine.
-Use the machine to sweep debris from narrow aisles into main aisle.
-After the machine has made a sweeping run, push the fi lter shaker control button for 20 to 30 seconds, the
fi lter shakers will unload accumulated dust from the fi lter media.
-Sweep debris from main aisle.
-Overlap of broom paths when sweeping. This will eliminate leaving dirty patches.
-Empty hopper when the sweeper leaves debris, while sweeping.
-Sweep in straight paths. Do not bump posts. Do not scrape the sides of the machine.
NOTE
Replace main broom when bristles are worn to 1.75 inch (3.5 cm) length. To order replacement
brooms, see appropriate PARTS LIST and follow instructions in the MAIN BROOM section of this
manual. Replace side broom when bristles fail to sweep debris into the path of the main broom. To
order replacement brooms, see appropriate PARTS LIST and follow instructions in the SIDE BROOM
section of this manual.
