WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE
Pick up oversized debris before sweeping. Pick
up wire, string, twine, large pieces of wood, or any
other debris that could become wrapped around
or tangled in the brushes.
NOTE: Debris can be placed in the hopper
through the hopper access door on the front of
the hopper.
Drive as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
machine. Overlap the sweep paths by several
centimeters (a few inches).
Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply when
the machine is in motion. The machine is very
responsive to the movement of the steering wheel.
Avoid sudden turns, except in emergencies.
Adjust the machine speed and brush pressure.
Use the lowest brush pressure for best
performance.
Keep the machine moving to prevent damaging
floor finishes.
If poor cleaning performance is observed, stop
cleaning and refer to
MACHINE
TROUBLESHOOTING
in this manual.
Perform the Daily Maintenance Procedures after
each use (see MACHINE MAINTENANCE in this
manual).
Drive the machine slowly on inclines. Use the
brake pedal to control machine speed on
descending inclines. Sweep with the machine up
inclines rather than down inclines.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slowly
on inclines and slippery surfaces. Do not
sweep on ramp inclines that exceed 14%
grade or transport (GVWR) on ramp inclines
that exceed 17.6% grade.
