OPERATING THE MACHINE
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SWEEPING
1
Push the Hopper Raise/Lower Switch
(18)
to the DOWN position to make sure the hopper is seated properly.
2
Move the Main Broom Lever
(4)
to the SWEEP (middle notch) position.
Use the FULL FLOAT (last notch forward) position only when sweeping extremely rough or uneven floors. Use at other times will only increase
broom wear.
3
Push the Broom Motor Switch
(8)
ON to start the broom motors.
4
When sweeping dry floors, put the Dust Control Lever
(2)
to the ON position.
When sweeping floors with puddles, push the Dust Control Lever
(2)
to the OFF position before the machine enters a puddle. Put the lever back
to the ON position when the machine is back on completely dry floor.
When sweeping wet floors, keep the Dust Control Lever
(2)
in the OFF position.
5
Lower the side broom
(10)
when sweeping along walls or curbs. Raise the side broom when sweeping in open areas.
6
Adjust the Side Broom Speed Lever
(28)
so that the side broom turns just fast enough to move debris away from walls or curbs and into the
path of the main broom. Operating the side broom at the minimum effective speed will keep dust to a minimum.
7
Drive the machine straight forward at a quick walking speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping large amounts of dust or debris or when
safe operation dictates slower speeds. Overlap passes 6 inches (15 cm).
8
If dust comes out of the broom housing while sweeping, the dust control filter may be clogged. The filter shaker will stop automatically, 15 seconds
after the lever is released. Leave the lever in the forward position until the shaker stops. Then move the lever back to the DUST CONTROL
ON position and continue sweeping.
9
Check behind the machine occasionally to make sure that the machine is picking up debris. Dirt left behind in the path of the machine usually
indicates that the machine is moving too fast, the broom needs to be adjusted, or the hopper is full.

EMPTYING THE HOPPER
1
Turn the Broom Motor Switch
(8)
OFF.
2
Put the Main Broom Lever
(4)
to the UP position and raise the side broom.
3
Push the Dust Control Lever
(2)
forward to the SHAKE position. This will operate the filter shaker motor for 15 seconds. Do not move the lever
until the shaker stops.
4
Drive the machine close to a large trash receptacle and hold the Hopper Raise/Lower Switch
(18)
in the UP position until the hopper is all the
way up.
5
Move the machine until the hopper is over the receptacle, then press the Hopper Dump Door Switch
(17)
to open the dump door. Close the
dump door when the hopper is empty.
6
Check the back of the hopper and the front of the broom housing. Use a broom, if necessary, to remove litter from these areas. The back of
the hopper must seal tightly against the front of the broom housing for proper operation.
7
Back the machine away from the receptacle until the hopper will clear it, then lower the hopper.
