WANDER HOSE
WARNING
BEFORE CONNECTING THE WANDER HOSE, ENSURE THAT THE SUCTION
FAN IS TURNED OFF.
1.
Remove the blanking plate from one of the wander hose apertures
in either the hopper rear door, or the appropriate side loading flap
and stow it on the spare fasteners located below the aperture.
2.
Attach the wander hose over the exposed aperture.
NOTE:
The wander hose can be used at the same time as the other sweeping
equipment. For maximum suction, however, set engine speed to at least 1700
rpm and blank off the suction nozzle(s). On machines with auto-blanking, this is
done by raising the sweeping equipment. On all other machines it is necessary
to fit the special blanking-plate between the Hopper and Water Tank.
BLANKING PLATE
3.
Refer to RAISING THE HOPPER on page 22.
4.
Release the securing pins and
remove the blanking plate
from its stowage position on
the nearside rear mudguard.
5.
Fit the blanking plate over the
upper aperture of the suction
tube i.e. on top of the water
tank (Refer to Fig. 16).
6.
Refer to (LOWERING THE
HOPPER on page 23).
7.
Turn on the suction fan.
HOPPER OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNING
ALWAYS USE THE HOPPER PROP WHEN THE HOPPER IS RAISED. FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
BEFORE RAISING THE HOPPER, ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON FIRM,
LEVEL GROUND AND THAT THERE ARE NO OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE THE HOPPER IS RAISED.
RAISING THE HOPPER
NOTE:
When discharging the hopper, the recommended technique is to release
the door clamp while the suction fan is running, position the vehicle, raise
the hopper and then turn the suction fan OFF, thereby allowing the door to
open and the hopper to discharge.
1.
From inside the cab, operate the Hopper switch by pressing and
holding down the TOP of the switch.
