Remote Control Switch Box Functions
The hopper raise/lower and rear door open/close switches are located on the remote control switch box.
This is stowed in the cab, between the drivers seat and the cab door, it is connected to a socket via a coiled
lead.
In the interests of health and safety and to avoid possible damage to the sweeper and/or adjacent
structures, it is essential that the remote controls are not activated within the cab. Always use
outside of the machine from a vantage point that affords a good view of the machine and its
immediate surroundings. Wear a high visibility jacket/waistcoat .
Hopper Raise - Press and hold to raise the hopper.
The hopper safety prop should always be in the deployed position when the hopper is in the raised
position. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. See page 13.
Hopper Lower - Press and hold to lower the hopper.
Ensure that the hopper safety prop is returned to its stowage position before attempting to lower
the hopper and no obstructions are present under the hopper. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the machine and/or serious injury. See page 13.
Rear Door Open - Press and hold to open the rear door.
Ensure that the suction fan has been switched off before attempting to open the rear door because
the fan creates a vacuum within the hopper space preventing the door from being opened.
The rear door safety prop must be in the deployed position whenever working under the rear door.
See page 13.
Rear Door Close - Press and hold until the rear door is closed and has finished its latching cycle. Only
works when hopper is fully down. See page 24.
