the sweeper.
When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of
control can result.
Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be damaged by flying
debris.
Only operate the controls while the engine is running.
While you operate the sweeper slowly in an open area, check for proper operation of all
controls and all protective devices. Note any repairs needed during operation of the sweeper.
Report any needed repairs.
Before each use
Perform daily maintenance as indicated in Maintenance Schedule.
Run the sweeper at a low idle, check for proper brush rotation and drive engagement.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY.
Check for large objects that could harm the operator or others if thrown by the sweeper. Remove
these items before operating.
During use
Directing Debris
Avoid excessive downward pressure on the brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A two to
four inch wide pattern is sufficient for most applications.
Direct debris by angling the brush head in that direction.
Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes sweeping more effective and helps
keep debris off the operator.
The terms swing and angle are used interchangeably.
Brush Direction
The brush direction is regulated by a lever (fig. 9B) that tilts it in the required direction. Move the
lever forward or rear in one of the 3 available positions to tilt the brush.
· Lever forward
= 15
o
to the right.
· Lever central
= 0
o
no tilt.
· Lever rear
= 15
o
to the left.
Sweeping
To sweep:
1. Turn the handle(fig.9A) to control Forward and Rear.
2. Turn the brush directional control (fig. 9 B) to the required
position. (See Brush Direction)
3. Set the gear depending on the route and the amount of
material to be swept.
4. Engage the brush drive. (fig. 9C)
5. Engage the traction drive. (fig. 9D)
NOTICE
: AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Reduce travel speed to
avoid hitting immovable objects.
The sweeper is equipped with an instant shutoff, when you release the levers, the brush and
machine stop.
Operating Tips
