To Interrupt Sweeping
Pressing the programme button (A) will raise all sweepgear gear, shut off water, and drop engine
to 1200 RPM. After 20 seconds the engine will drop the RPM to low idle.
To Terminate Sweeping
1. Turn off the channel brush switches (E1/E2).
2. Raise the pick-up head (F).
3. Turn off the hopper sprays (K3).
4. Return the engine speed to tick over.
5. Press the engine ignition switch (V) off.
Water Drainage
If the sweepings are waterlogged, excess water
can be drained off using the drainage hoses
attached to the rear door.
Reverse Hood Pick-up Switch
The Reverse Hood Pick-up (N) allows the hood
to remain in the working position, when reverse is
selected. The gutterbrooms lift and stow.
●
Switch off the auxiliary engine without first rasing the sweepgear will cause the channel
brush to remain in its working position.
●
Driving the sweepgear with the brush(es) or Hood down in this position could lead to
irreparable damage.
●
When stopping the auxiliary engine, the throttle automatically returns to tick over.
Should the auxiliary engine be off, and the hood down use the electronic discharge
pump to raise the hood.
Hood Hop
The Hood Hop feature is a versatile way to overcome bulky debris when sweeping. The pick-up
head hop switch is instant. It reacts to lift the hood for as long as the button is pressed.
When bulky items or a mass of leafs are in front of the hood. A quick press of the button, allows the
hood just to lift to bring in the excess material and sweep it away.
The best way to use the hood hop: -
Sweep at 3 Kph ahead of the bulky items.
As the hood meets the material engage button (G) for 1-1.5 second just to break the seal between
floor and hood. Release button and continue, the hood will return to original position
