Polypropylene Side Brush − Recommended for

general sweeping of light to medium debris.
Nylon Side Brush − Recommended for general

sweeping of rough or irregular surfaces. Nylon
has a long wear life.
Flat Wire Side Brush − Recommended for

outdoor curb-side sweeping where dirt is heavy or
compacted.

OPERATION
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.
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).

OPERATION
PRE−OPERATION CHECKLIST
- Check the machine for fluid leaks.
- Check the main sweep brush for damage and

wear . Remove string, banding, plastic wrap,
or other debris wrapped around the brush.
- Check the main brush compartment right skirt

for damage and wear.
- Check the side brush(es) for damage and

wear . Remove string, banding, plastic wrap,
or other debris wrapped around the brush.
- Check the main brush compartment left skirt

for damage and wear.
- Check the air filter indicator.
- Check the engine oil level.
- Check the engine coolant level.
- Check the radiator fins and cooling fan screen

for debris.
- Check the hydraulic fluid level.
- Check for rubbing hoses or wires and leaks or

obstructions.
- Check the horn, headlights, taillights, safety

lights, and backup alarm (if equipped).
- Check all controls for proper operation.
- Check hopper skirt and brush compartment

skirts for damage and wear.
- Check the brakes and steering for proper

operation.
- Check the service records to determine

maintenance requirements.
