The foregoing are general recommendations only. Requirements can vary from
territory to territory and will depend on vehicle usage/operating conditions.
IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT YOUR NEAREST DEALER.
Detailed instructions covering the servicing of your Scarab sweeper are
published in the Scarab M6 Workshop Manual.
The fitting of genuine Scarab parts is highly recommended. Use of alternatives
can compromise performance / reliability and could invalidate your warranty.
For chassis/auxiliary engine servicing and maintenance, refer to the relevant
manufacturer’s information or consult the appropriate agent or dealer.
Clean the suction fan thoroughly, using
scraper provided and, if necessary, high-
pressure steam/water.
Carry out a thorough inspection of the
suction fan assembly to verify that it is in
good condition. Report any defects.
Replace return filter element
in hydraulic oil tank.
Check for wear in suction tubes &
deflectors. Report any defects.
Check seals on hopper-door, side-hatches,
suction-tubes. Report any defects.
Check hopper and subframe-to-chassis
mounting points. Report any defects.
Check wiring and hoses for security of
attachment and for signs of chafing. Rectify
or report defects as necessary.
Check oil level in high-pressure water
pump, top up as necessary.
Grease rear door hinges and locking bar.

LOW-PRESSURE WATER PUMP WHEN FITTED WITH A CRANKCASE GREASE NIPPLE
Use a hand operated grease gun apply 2 or 3 pumps after every 300 operating hours.
Do not exceed as over-filling the crankcase can result in damage to the diaphragms.
IN FROSTY WEATHER
Do not, under any circumstances, operate the high pressure pump without water.
Drain the water tank (via the drain cock if fitted or by removing the water strainers).
Open the drain taps on each water pump.
Switch on the water sprays and run the low pressure pump until dry.
Remove the water-strainer elements.
Leave the hopper slightly raised with rear & side doors slightly open. This allows air to
circulate and prevents damage caused by seals freezing to their mating faces.
