OPERATION

6400 MM429 (6--99)

MAIN BRUSH LEVER

The main brush lever controls the position and

rotation of the main brush.

Main brush down and on: Pull the lever back and

to the right into the

Main brush down and on

position against the main brush down pressure

knob. The brush will automatically start rotating.

Main brush up and off: Pull the lever back and to

the left into the

Main brush up and off

position.

MAIN BRUSH DOWN PRESSURE KNOB

The main brush down pressure knob changes the

amount of contact the main brush has with the

surface being swept.

Increase: Loosen the main brush down pressure

knob. Move the knob forward, away from the

operator, and retighten it.

Decrease: Loosen the main brush down pressure

knob. Move the knob back, towards the operator,

and retighten it.

VACUUM AND FILTER SHAKER LEVER

The vacuum and filter shaker lever controls the

vacuum fan duct and the filter shaker. The vacuum

fan duct should be on when sweeping dry debris.

The vacuum fan duct should be off when sweeping

wet debris.

Vacuum Fan on: Turn the lever to the left into the

Vacuum Fan on

position.

Vacuum Fan off: Turn the lever to the right into the

Vacuum Fan off

position.

Start filter shaker: Place the lever in the

Filter

shaker

position for 30 seconds.

Note: Excessive heat in the hopper will cause the

Thermo Sentry

to move the vacuum and filter

shaker lever to the

Vacuum fan off

position. It will

also make the hopper temperature light come on.

If this happens, stop the machine, eliminate the

source of the heat, and return the lever to the

Vacuum fan on

position.
