TRANSIT / WORK MODES SWITCH
Transit Mode (top position) is for moving between
job sites. The machine can reach speeds up to 40
km/h (25 mph) when in this mode. The front
wheels automatically track out to provide more
stability when the machine exceeds 5 km/h
(approximately 3 mph). The brushes raise and
stop rotating, the vacuum head raises, and the
vacuum fan stops operating.
Work Mode 1 (middle position) is for sweeping.
The machine can reach speeds up to 12 km/h
(8 mph) when in this mode. If the front wheels are
in the out position, they will automatically track in
when the machine exceeds 5 km/h (approximately
3 mph). The brushes lower and begin rotating, the
vacuum head lowers, and the vacuum fan begins
operating.
Work Mode 2 (bottom position) is for moving short
distances between work areas and driving over
curbs or speed bumps. The machine can reach
speeds up to16 km/h (9 mph) when in this mode.
The brushes raise and stop rotating, the vacuum
head raises, and the vacuum fan stops operating.
The machine automatically provides increased
traction.
BRUSH SPEED KNOB

VACUUM FAN SPEED BOOST
The vacuum fan speed can be set to above 2400
rpm (boost) for a short time (5 minutes). A
countdown bar appears on the MDM display.
Reduce the vacuum fan speed to less than 2400
rpm before the countdown bar expires. It must be
reduced for at least 30 seconds or the machine
must be stopped and the drive lever placed in
neutral for five seconds before returning to
vacuum fan speed boost. If not, an audible alarm
will sound at the end of the five minutes, the fan
will shut off, and a warning message will appear
on the MDM display.
To reset the vacuum fan speed boost limiting
system, stop the machine and place the drive
lever in neutral. Restart the machine and turn the
vacuum speed to below 2400 rpm.
This vacuum fan speed boost is available for only
five 5--minute intervals per hour. After five boost
periods, the vacuum fan speed will be limited to

BRUSH I NFO RMATION
For best results, use the correct brush type for the
cleaning application.
NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an
important role in determining the type of brushes
to use. Contact an authorized service
representative for specific recommendations.
Polypropylene Brush -- Best overall general
cleaning brush. The bristles fan out and dig into
cracks to remove debris.
Polypropylene and Wire Brush -Recommended for moving heavy debris. Best
bristle mix for moving large quantities of sand and
heavier debris. The bristles fan out similar to the
polypropylene brush. The wire bristles provide the
ability to move heavier material.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Heavy Duty
Brush -- Recommended for areas where there is
a heavy build up of debris. The stiffer / thicker
bristles provide more aggressive digging action to
remove compacted debris from along buildings,
curbs, and in corners.
HOW THE MACHI NE WORKS
The two front brushes move debris to the center
of the machine and the vacuum pulls the debris
into the hopper. The airflow must be maintained
through the machine to keep it functioning
properly.
The air and debris swirl in a cyclonic rotation
inside the hopper. The dust and debris drops to
the bottom of the hopper and the air exits through
vents at the rear of the machine. Screens located
in the hopper prevent light debris (leaves, paper,
etc...) from exiting the hopper and the cyclone
assemblies located at the top of the hopper
prevent dust particles from exiting the hopper.
