Lubricating the Pivot Pins
The most important single thing you can do to increase the
life of the Terramite Street Sweeper is proper lubrication
of the pivot pins. The pivot pins should be lubricated with
a good lithium based grease every
four hours
of operation.
Wipe dirt from the fittings before greasing. Replace any
lost or damaged fittings immediately.
How to Ruin a Good Machine
The first 20 hours of use are critical to the life of the
machine.
The pivot pins have minute edges which need
to be broken in just as an automobile engines need to be
broken in. If the pins are not adequately greased, they will
break their retainers and work out, possibly causing damage
to your machine. An ungreased pin will rust. The next
time you use the machine the rust wears off, exposing
more metal, which also rusts. The rust and dirt make a
destructive grinding compound. Many people falsely blame
the manufacturer for their own neglect in lubricating the
machine. This is not covered under your warranty.
Use Caution when Replacing Pins
When driving pivot pins in or out, use care to guard against
injury from particles that may chip off the pin or object
used in striking the pin. These pins can fly out at
considerable speed if they are not tapped lightly just before
they come out. Safety glassed must be worn.
Battery and Tires
Low Maintenance Battery
Your Terramite Street Sweeper is equipped with a low
maintenance battery. It uses a special construction to
minimize water requirements. There is an “eye” on the
battery to determine the conditions.
Cold Weather Considerations
NOTE:
Cold weather makes a marginal battery useless.
A battery fully charged at 80 deg. F. will have only 60% of
its capacity at 32 deg. F., and only 40% at zero. A half-
charged battery has only 32% at 32 deg. F and 21% at
zero.
Tire Pressures and Rim Size

Avoid High Tire Pressure
CAUTION!
Excessive tire pressures increase the
possibility of punctures and cause a rougher ride. The rim
or tire could blow out, causing extreme injury or even death!
Tire Traction and Hazards
Avoid excessive wheel spin when loading. On most
surfaces, wheel spin causes loss of traction and premature
wear out of tires. Watch for hazards such as nails, glass,
etc.
Paint and Cleaning
Protecting the Paint
Because it is highly resistant to nearly everything, it requires
little care. But constant exposure to sunlight will fade it
just as other paints eventually fade. A coat of wax will
help protect it. Leaving spilled diesel on your hood is not
only an unsafe practice, but will cause stains and will
inevitably eat through your paint. Small scratches should
be touched up or kept waxed to keep rust from attaching
the metal under the paint.
