OPERATION

WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE

In short This section gives driving and sweeping practices for operating the machine. Pick up oversized debris first, drive slowly on inclines, and stay within the stated temperature and ramp grade limits.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​​‌‌⁠​​​‌​⁠​​⁠‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌⁠⁠‌‍⁠⁠​‌⁠‍⁠‌⁠‌

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.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​​‌‌⁠​​​‌​⁠​​⁠‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌⁠⁠‌‍⁠⁠​‌⁠‍⁠‌⁠‌

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. Allow more braking distance when traveling at faster speeds. Sweep with the machine up inclines rather than down inclines.

FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slowly on inclines and slippery surfaces.

Do not operate machine in areas where the ambient temperature is above 43° C (110° F). Do not operate sweeping functions in areas where the ambient temperature is below freezing 0° C (32° F). With the proper hydraulic fluid and a machine warm−up period, the machine is capable of operating at much lower temperatures.

FOR SAFETY: Do not sweep on ramp inclines that exceed 14% grade or transport (GVWR) on ramp inclines that exceed 17% grade.

PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM

In short Diesel fuel systems normally need priming to remove air, but this machine's fuel system is self-priming because air escapes through the return line.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​​⁠​​​​​‌​⁠​​‍​⁠⁠​​‌​‍⁠⁠​‍⁠‍‍​‍‍‌‌‍⁠⁠

Typical diesel fuel systems require priming to remove pockets of air from the fuel lines and fuel components. This is usually required after running out of fuel, changing fuel filter elements or repairing a fuel system component. Air in the fuel prevents smooth engine operation.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​​⁠​​​​​‌​⁠​​‍​⁠⁠​​‌​‍⁠⁠​‍⁠‍‍​‍‍‌‌‍⁠⁠

This fuel system however is self-priming. The return line comes from the top of the injector that allows the air to escape through the return line.

ENGINE BELT

In short Check the engine belt tension after every 50 hours of operation and adjust it as needed to the specified deflection under the specified force.

Check the belt tension after every 50 hours of operation. Adjust tension as necessary. Proper belt tension is 13 mm (0.50 in) from a force of 4 to 5 kg (8 to 10 lb) applied at the mid-point of the longest span.

PUSHING, TOWING, AND TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

In short A disabled machine can be pushed or towed only a very short distance, and only after the bypass valve on the propelling pump has been turned. The page also begins the steps for loading the machine onto a truck or trailer.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​⁠​​‌‍‌⁠​‌​⁠‍⁠‍‌⁠‍‌‍‌⁠⁠‌⁠‍⁠⁠

PUSHING OR TOWING THE MACHINE

If the machine becomes disabled, it can be pushed from the front or rear, but only towed from the rear.‌‌​⁠‍⁠​​⁠⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠‍‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​⁠​​‌‍‌⁠​‌​⁠‍⁠‍‌⁠‍‌‍‌⁠⁠‌⁠‍⁠⁠

Use the bypass valve to prevent damaging the hydraulic system when pushing or towing the machine. This valve allows a disabled machine to be moved for a very short distance and at a speed to not exceed 1.6 kp/h (1 mph). The machine is NOT intended to be pushed or towed a long distance or at a high speed.

ATTENTION! Do not push or tow machine for a long distance or damage may occur to the propelling system.

Turn the bypass valve located on the bottom of the propelling pump 90° (either direction) from the normal position before pushing or towing the machine. Return the bypass valve to the normal position when finished pushing or towing the machine. Do Not use the bypass valve during normal machine operation.
