Operations
Normal Vacuuming
Plan the vacuuming pattern in advance. The longest
track is around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned.
For efficient operation, the runs should be the longest
possible without turning or stopping.
In order to achieve the best possible results, the area
which is to be cleaned should be picked up before
vacuuming. Large debris, strings and wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes.
If machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the
vacuum deck down for more than 2 seconds, the brush
motor stops. If either forward or reverse travel is
selected, the brush motor will continue once movement
of machine begins. Overlap the brush path and avoid
transporting over previously cleaned areas.
