OPERATION
INTENDED USE:
This sweeper is designed solely for use in construction cleanup, road
maintenance and similar operations. Use in any other way is considered contrary to intended
use. Compliance with and strict adherence to operation, service and repair conditions, as
specified by the manufacturer, are essential elements of intended use.
VOLUMIzER
The 241 and 242 Series Pick-Up Sweepers are equipped with the patented Volumizer
Feature. The Volumizer is designed to allow the level of debris to be controlled in the hopper
and to prevent carry over of material.
As brush sections wear, the volumizer can be adjusted by pulling the “T” handle quick
pin and moving it down one notch.
NOTE: Sweepers equipped with the Volumizer cannot reverse brush direction
without removing the Volumizer and an internal check valve from the manifold. (See
Maintenance and Service)
ADjUSTING ThE SWEEPER BRUSh PATTERN
A properly adjusted brush offers the best sweeping performance. The sweepers are
shipped with the “T” handle quick pins in the uppermost position.
There are two positions available on the top set of holes and two positions available
on the bottom set for adjusting your brush pattern. For special applications or as the brushes
wear it may be necessary to adjust the brush pattern.
Setting the “T” handle quick pins in the lowest position will give you approximately a 10”
brush pattern for hard to sweep material or cold planer applications. Removing the T” handle
quick pins (installing them in their storage position) will allow the brushes to float over rough
terrain. Placing the sweeper in the float position should give you approximately a 4’-5” brush
pattern. Remember, the wider the brush pattern the quicker the brushes will wear.
To check the brush pattern:
1. Move the sweeper to a dusty, flat surface.
2. Set the prime movers parking brake and leave the engine running.
3. Start the sweeper at a slow speed and lower it so the boom arms bottom out. Run the
sweeper in a stationary position for 10-15 seconds.
4. Raise the sweeper and back away. Lower the sweeper
to the ground, apply the brakes, turn off the prime
mover’s engine and remove the key. The brush pattern
left in the dust should be 2” - 4” wide, running the full
length of the brush.
5. Adjust the brush pattern as necessary.
a. If the brush pattern is too wide, pull the “T”
handle quick pins and move them up one notch on
both sides.
b. If the brush pattern is too narrow, pull the “T”
handle quick pins and move them down one notch on
both sides.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the brush pattern is 2” - 4” wide.
