2. Hopper Seals - The hopper must be maintained air tight for the sweeper to perform
adequately. Daily inspect the inspection door seal, dump door seal, transition seals
and, if hand hose attachment is used, the hand hose door seal. If any section of the
seal material is missing, replace the seal. Refer to Page 9 for seal locations.
3. Hopper Screen - The large screen found inside the hopper is very important for pre-
venting large debris from entering the separator and blower assembly. Inspect the
screen daily. If any large holes are found, do not operate sweeper until screen has
been repaired or replaced. Refer to Page 9 for screen location. Once every 500
hours the hopper screen should be removed and the inlet area above separator
should be cleaned thoroughly. If allowed to become stopped up, the sweeper
efficiency is drastically reduced. Refer to Page 9 for separator inlet location.
4. Skimmer Hood - Inside the Model 600 hopper is a shielded area attached to the se-
parator door. This shielded area is formed by what is called the Skimmer Hood and
is designed to create a void area into which the fine dust removed by the separator
skimmer slot can accumulate. The skimmer hood protects the separator skimmer
slot from being choked off by debris being deposited in the hopper during operation.
IMPORTANT : Always close the separator door before closing the dump door.
Opening the dump door retracts the raker plate so that the sepa-
rator door latches properly when closed.
