MACHINE OPERATION

PRE-CLEANING CHECKLIST:

Read and understand the Safety Messages section on 
Pages 3 and 4 before operating the machine.

1.  Check Battery Condition Gauge.  Make sure Batteries 

are fully charged before using.

2.  Check the condition of the Brooms.

3.  Check to make sure Hopper is empty.

4.  Disconnect Charger and close Hood.

5.  Adjust the Handle Bar height if needed.

6.  Turn the Power Switch 

ON

 and drive to the area to be 

cleaned.  The Power Switch is a three position switch.  
The Down position is machine 

OFF

.  The Middle position 

turns 

ON

 the Machine and Main Broom.  The Up position 

turns 

ON

 the Side Brooms while keeping the Machine 

and Main Broom running.

7. Confi rm the Side Brooms height is correct, if not adjust 

using the Side Broom Height Adjustment knob.

8.  Lower the Main Broom and the Side Brooms using the 

Broom Position Levers.

9.  Drive slowly by pulling the Clutch lever.

OPERATING HINTS:

1.  Observe the amount of dirt/debris that the machine is 

sweeping up.  If dirt/debris is left on ground make sure 
that the Wet Sweep By-Pass is not open.  This feature 
reduces dust control and should only be used when 
operating on a fl oor with water on it.

2.  Always operate at lower speeds when sweeping around 

walls and objects.  You should reduce the speed to 
maintain control when turning.

3.  Change or turn over Brooms when dirty.

4.  Stay clear of objects protruding from the fl oor such as 

sockets, grates, etc, for they will damage the Brooms.

5.  Always keep an eye on your gauges.  They let you know 

the status of a particular system at a glance.  If your 
battery gauge is reading low you must stop immediately 
and recharge.  Running the Batteries dead will result in 
damage to the Batteries.

6.  When you are ready to stop, raise the Side Brooms, 

raise the Main Broom, turn 

OFF

 the Side Broom Switch 

and drive the machine back to the charging area.  Be 
sure to clean the Hopper thoroughly before storing the 
machine.
