Scarab M65T Operating Instructions
Part No. SCAZ043468 1.6.01 20 E&OE
Operating In Sweep Mode
Refer to Health and Safety Advice on page 10.
Reducing Noise Levels and Fuel Consumption - Although it is important to always operate within the engine’s optimum speed range, there are times
when it is possible to reduce engine speed to the lower end of this, thereby reducing noise levels. This is most beneficial when sweeping at night, or areas
which are sensitive to noise pollution. Sweeping at reduced engine speeds can be achieved most satisfactorily when sweeping light or sparsely distributed
materials. Experience will enable the operator to vary engine speed, according to sweeping conditions, without affecting sweeping performance.
It should be noted that the operator benefits from reduced noise levels in the cab and that any reduction in engine speed, also results in a corresponding
reduction in fuel consumption.
Starting the Auxiliary Engine
When the machine’s ignition is turned on the following events occur:
• The CAN Bus system checks that all control nodes are present and functioning correctly.
• The LCD Monitor turns on and for a few seconds displays a Scarab logo (splash) screen.
• The LCD Monitor then displays a simplified graphic of the truck, the time and auxiliary engine speed.
If an error is detected at this stage the ‘Fault Active’ symbol will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
To identify the error, refer to the Options Screen menus ‘Driver’s Fault Codes’ on page 44.
To start the auxiliary engine:
1. Press and hold down the ‘System Start/Stop Sweep Mode’ button until the auxiliary engine starts. When the auxiliary engine starts its default idle
speed of 950 rpm will display in the top right of the LCD monitor.
With the auxiliary engine running, the system is now effectively in Sweep Mode and a number of symbols representing the installed sweeping equipment
will appear superimposed over the truck graphic on the LCD monitor.
2. On the control panels, select the desired sweeping equipment. Refer to pages 14, 15 and 16 for more information.
The auxiliary engine speed will increase if the following functions are selected:-
Suction Fan and/or High Pressure Water Pump*, auxiliary engine speed rises to 1200 rpm.
Suction Fan Boost, auxiliary engine speed rises to 1700 rpm.
