Operations
Machine Operation
Pre-Run Machine Inspection
Do a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that
could cause poor performance or lost time from break-
down. Follow the same procedure each time to avoid
missing steps.
NOTE: Perform Pre-run Machine Check before
operating machine. See Service Schedule in
Maintenance Section.
Starting Machine
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make sure
that all safety devices are in place and operating
properly.
1. The operator should be on the pedal platform. The
throttle pedal must be in the neutral position.
2. Turn the machine power on by turning key switch
clockwise to the “ON” position. Press the transport
mode button.
3. Press the Drive Reset Directional Control Switch to
set the intended direction for travel. Set the maxi-
mum speed knob to desired speed.
4. Press lightly on the throttle pedal with right foot.
Emergency Stop Procedures
1. Push in emergency stop button. This will engage
the brake and cause the machine to stop immedi-
ately.
Normal Vacuuming
Plan the vacuuming pattern in advance. The longest
track is around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned.
For efficient operation, the runs should be the longest
possible without turning or stopping.
In order to achieve the best possible results, the area
which is to be cleaned should be picked up before
vacuuming. Large debris, strings and wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes.
NOTE: Check and empty debris tray as needed
during operation.
If machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the
vacuum deck down for more than 2 seconds, the brush
motor stops. If either forward or reverse travel is
selected, the brush motor will continue once movement
of machine begins. Overlap the brush path and avoid
transporting over previously cleaned areas.
