PART SECTIONS
The remaining sections of the manual contain part
number information for ordering repair parts for
your machine. The manual contains part number
information on every type of machine model
available in the model size of your particular
machine. Therefore there will be part number
information in your manual you will not need to
refer to when wanting to place an order.
The main thing you need to know about your
machine is what type of model is it. Is the
machine powered by an engine or batteries? If the
machine has an engine, is it fueled from gasoline,
LPG, or diesel? If it is a mid-sized or larger
sweeper, is it multi-level or low dump? For the
scrubbers, is it SRS
r
or standard. Determining
this information about your machine will help
guide you through the separate parts sections to
find the repair part you need.
