SWEEPING AND BRUSH INFORMATION
Pick up oversized debris before sweeping. Flatten
or remove bulky cartons from aisles before
sweeping. Pick up pieces of wire, twine, string,
etc., which could become entangled in brush or
brush plugs.
Plan the sweeping in advance. Try to arrange long
runs with minimum stopping and starting. Sweep
debris from very narrow aisles into main aisles
ahead of time. Do an entire floor or section at one
time. Sweep as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
sweeper. Overlap the brush paths.
Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply when
the machine is in motion. The machine is very
responsive to the movement of the steering
wheel. Avoid sudden turns, except in
emergencies.
Use main brush II Speed
when picking up light
litter. This will improve both litter pickup and
hopper loading. Do not use the II Speed
speed
in dusty environments. The machine can dust and
clog the hopper dust filter. Operate the main brush
in the Normal position when picking up general
debris.
For best results, use the correct brush type for
your sweeping application. The following are
recommendations for main and side brush
applications.
Polypropylene 8-double Row Main Brush –
Gives superior pickup of sand, gravel, and paper
litter. Retains its stiffness when wet, and can be
used indoor or out. Not recommended for
high-temperature debris.
Polypropylene and Wire 8-double Row Main
Brush – The wire bristles loosen slightly packed
soilage and heavier debris. The polypropylene
bristles sweep up the debris with excellent hopper
loading.
