CAUTION!
Make sure to NOT hold the switch in either the Open or Close position beyond the mechanical
limit of the actuator. Prolonged operation at the mechanical limits will cause actuator failure.
WARNING!
Keep all personnel away from the clamshell hopper cover and all it’s components during
operation. Serious injury could result if personnel is not clear.
TRANSPORT
Any time the machine is being transported from one location to another, the brushes must be
raised off of the ground. With the tow vehicle stopped and secured from rolling, move the Brush
Up-Down lever to the “Up” (forward) position and lock in place with the Brush Height Transport
Pin. Failure to do so may cause damage to brushes.
END OF DAY
When you are finished using the Sweep-N-Clean, be sure to clean the entire machine, both inside
and out. Wash away any dirt or mud buildup, especially from the brush frame and from the
inside of the hopper.
CAUTION!
Do Not spray water on the brush drive engine while it is still hot! Rapid or uneven cooling if the
engine may cause damage. Give the engine sufficient time to cool before cleaning.
If the Sweep-N-Clean is to be left attached to the tow vehicle, make sure electric clutch is
disengaged after tow vehicle engine has been turned off. Electric clutch will not automatically
disengage with engine shut-off. An engaged electric clutch will draw moderate amounts of
power, and will drain a battery in short order if tow vehicle engine is not running.
If the Sweep-N-Clean is to be disconnected from the tow vehicle, disconnect the electrical
supply cables and make sure that the switch pendant is free from the tow vehicle. Before
disconnecting, make sure that the Sweep-N-Clean's wheels are blocked to prevent rolling before
pulling the hitch pin.
Inspect the Sweep-N-Clean for any signs of damage or wear. Report any damage to the
appropriate maintenance mechanic.
