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 KNOB

Turn the Vacuum fan speed knob clockwise t o increase the vacuum and counterclockwise to decrease the vacuum.

NOTE: For normal operating conditions the vacuum fan speed should be set to below 2400 rpm.

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 2300 rpm for the rest of the hour

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.

STARTING THE MACHINE

3. Turn the key further clockwise to start the engine.

FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine, unless operator manual is read and understood.

NOTE: Watch / listen for visual and audible warnings from the MDM (Machine Display Module) system while operating the machine. Do not operate the machine until all warnings have been corrected. See MACHINE DISPLAY MODULE (MDM) FAULT SCREENS section of this manual.

1. Sit in the operator seat, press the brake pedal or set the parking brake, and place the drive lever into neutral.

NOTE: Do not operate the starter motor for more than 10 seconds at a time or after the engine has started. Allow the starter to cool 15--20 seconds between starting attempts or damage to the starter motor may occur.

4. Allow the engine and hydraulic system to warm up for three to five minutes.

WARNING: Machine emits toxic gases. Severe respiratory damage or asphyxiation can result. Provide adequate ventilation. Consult with your regulatory authorities for exposure limits. Keep engine properly tuned.

FOR SAFETY: When starting machine, keep foot on brake and drive lever in neutral.

2. Turn the key clockwise until the glow plug indicator comes on, but not far enough to start

the engine. Hold the key in this position for 5 seconds, depending on temperature. Colder temperatures require longer time.
