OPERATION
OPERATING TIPS
NOTICE! Avoid sweeper damage. Do not ram into piles. Use a dozer blade for this type
of job.
STUCK ON MATERIAL
(240 SERIES STANDARD SWEEPER ONLY)
When encountering stuck on material that
cannot be removed by the rotating brush alone, the operator may simply back over the mate-
rial and lower the bucket cutting edge to the ground and scrape the material loose. The brush
direction may then be reversed to assist in collecting this material. NOTE: Do not forget to
lift the bucket approximately 1” and change brush rotation to the forward direction after
removal of stuck on material.
NOTICE: Reversing the hydraulic flow on 241 and 242 Series Sweepers will extend the
cylinders on the high dump floor, therefore dumping the collected material.
(241 & 242 SERIES PRO SWEEPERS ONLY)
When encountering stuck on material that cannot
be removed by the normal operation, lower the brushes by s
etting the “T” handle quick pins in the
lowest position. This will allow for additional down pressure to be applied for hard to sweep
material.
SNOW
High brush speeds and slow ground speeds are needed to sweep snow effectively. Start
at 3/4 throttle and the lowest gear of the prime mover. For wet and/or deep snow, increase to
almost full throttle. This helps keep snow from packing up inside the brush hood.
In deep snow you may need to make more than one pass to get down to a clean
surface.
To keep snow from blowing back onto a swept area, always sweep so the wind is at
your back or so it follows the brush angle.
DIRT & GRAVEL
To keep dust at a minimum, plan your sweeping for days when it is overcast and humid
or after it has rained. Also, sweep so the wind blows at your back or in the direction the brush
head is angled.
Low brush speeds and moderate ground speeds work best for cleaning debris from hard
surfaces. Brush speeds that are too fast tend to raise dust because of the aggressive sweeper
action.
To sweep gravel, use just enough brush speed to “roll” the gravel, not throw it.
hEAVY DEBRIS
For 2 inches (51mm) or more of heavy debris, a maximum brush speed in the low range
and ground speeds of less than 5 mph (8 kph) are recommended.
