M25H Road Sweeper Operating Instructions
Operating advice
Please remember, the information provided in this handbook is designed to ensure that the Scarab sweeper operates both safely and efficiently.
The design of this machine is for the removal of spoil on traffic or pedestrian areas also litter collection using the wander hose.
A poorly maintained machine will become unreliable, inefficient and potentially dangerous. Always observe the recommended maintenance and safety
related advice provided.
Unless it is wet or raining, ALWAYS use the low pressure water spray system when sweeping. This will not only reduce the amount of dust generated, it
will also ensure more efficient collection of material. This is because wet material is heavier and will drop more readily from the air stream inside the
hopper. If swept dry more of the finer material will pass through the screen, wearing out the fan blades on its way back to the environment behind you.
