DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PEDAL
The directional control pedal controls the speed and
direction of the machine. It is also used for slowing the
machine or stopping.
•
To propel the machine forward, apply pressure
to the front of the pedal, increasing pressure to
increase speed.
•
To propel the machine backward, apply pressure
to the rear of the pedal.
•
To slow or stop the machine, release pressure to
the pedal. This is neutral position.
•
For emergency stops, quickly move the foot pedal
past neutral position in the opposite position.
CAUTION
Constant use of the “emergency stop” method
of braking may result in damage to the drive
components.
The sweeper is equipped with a speed limiter. A stop is
mounted under the directional control pedal and can be
raised to reduce the maximum speed.
PARKING BRAKE
The Parking Brake is located on the left side of the
front wall of the operator’s compartment. This brake
manually engages the hydraulic drum brakes (operated
by pressing on the brake pedal). To engage the Parking
Brake, pull upward on the hand brake lever. To release
the Parking Brake, push down on the hand brake lever.
BRAKE PEDAL
The hydraulic brake assembly is activated by pressing
on the brake pedal. This action will activate the brakes
being applied to both front wheels.
TILT STEERING LEVER
The steering wheel can be adjusted to provide the most
comfortable position for the operator. To adjust, loosen
the steering wheel by pulling up on the lever. Once
loose, adjust the steering wheel up or down. To tighten
wheel in position, push down on the lever.
