Using the Controller Time Out
The sweeper is equipped with a time-out feature for the
control module. The time-out feature is activated after 2-1/2
hours of continuous remote transmitter
inactivity
.
•
When in the time-out mode the remote transmitter will
not control any function.
•
To wake the controller in time-out mode:
–
On Workman models with serial numbers prior to
899999999, unplug and plug the sweeper harness into
the vehicle power harness.
–
On Workman models with serial numbers 900000001
and up, turn the ignition key to the
OFF
position and
back to the
RUN
position.
•
To avoid controller time-out during operation, use the
remote transmitter to off-set the sweeper at least every
2-1/2 hours.

the hopper safety support is installed onto the extended lift
cylinder.
1.

on the cylinder.
Checking the Interlock System
CAUTION
Safety interlock switches are for the operator's
protection. Disconnected or malfunctioning
safety interlock switches could allow the machine
to operate in an unsafe manner and may cause
personal injury.
•
Do not disconnect the safety interlock switches.
•
Check operation of the switches daily to be sure
the interlock system is operating correctly.
•
If a switch is malfunctioning, replace it before
operating the machine.
The purpose of the safety interlock system is as follows:
•
Prevents the brush from rotating when the hopper is in
the raised position.
•
Prevents the hopper from being dumped when the
sweeper is in the offset position.
•
Audible alarm will sound when dumping the hopper. Do
not move the tow vehicle when dumping the hopper.
Operating Tips
•
Before starting to sweep, survey the area to determine
the best direction to sweep.
