Sweeping
1. Switch on the hazard warning beacons.

3. Select the desired configuration of brushes/suction nozzles and water sprays, any combination of brushes and water can be selected, either by pressing
each switch required or the Favourite Setting switch to recall your saved settings, if you have saved that previously. See page 15 and 16.

equipment.
To stop and stow the sweep gear, return the multi function lever to the OFF position. The sweeping equipment will stop, raise to the stowed
position and all water spray jets will stop. This also occurs automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse gear and will revert back when
reverse is disengaged. See page 16.

On right hand drive vehicles move the lever to the right to swing the side brushes out and move the lever to the left to swing
the side brushes in.

the side brushes in.
7. Operate the multi function lever in the back/downward position to temporarily tilt the suction nozzles to allow larger items
to be removed from the swept surface. See page 16.
8. Select the forward gear ratio best suited to the prevailing sweeping conditions and commence sweeping.
The multi function lever will return to the ON position after using the side brush or nozzle tilt functions.
If considered appropriate reduce/increase the auxiliary engine speed to suit the prevailing sweeping conditions, by using the engine speed switches
on the main control panel. Engine speed can only be adjusted between its minimum effective speed for the situation and the active preset default speed.
Auxiliary engine speed cannot be adjusted when ‘Suction Fan Boost’ is in operation.
Be aware that too much reduction of engine speed can adversely affect suction performance.
Whatever the situation, remember that the rules of traffic and road safety must be observed.
