HYDRAULIC SYSTEM GAS/DIESEL/LP POWERED MACHINES

The engine furnishes power through a coupling to a fixed displacement hydraulic gear pump. The pump provides controlled oil flow to various operator controlled hydraulic valves which supply hydraulic power to the hopper dump system and motors on the rear wheel, main broom, side broom, and vacuum fan. Hydraulic system is protected by two filters, 100 micron and a 25 micron.

BATTERY POWERED MACHINES

The battery powered electric motor furnishes power through a coupling to a fixed displacement hydraulic gear pump. The pump provides controlled oil flow to various operator controlled hydraulic valves which supply hydraulic power to the hopper dump system and motors on the main broom and side broom. Hydraulic system is protected by two filters, 100 micron and 25 micron.

STEERING

Fully Power Steering with single rear wheel steer.

BRAKES

Foot operated drum brakes on front wheels. Hand operated parking brake. When engaged, parking brake locks the brake foot pedal in the down position.

MAIN BROOM

One-piece, disposable unit with poly core. Standard bristle type is Proex fiber. A variety of bristle types are available. No tool broom installation or removal easily completed within five (5) minutes. Broom position can be placed into the free float or restricted down position.

MACHINE PREPARATION

YOUR SWEEPER HAS BEEN SHIPPED COMPLETE, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WITHOUT READING AND FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PREPARATION

1. Uncrate the sweeper and carefully remove packing material.

2. Inspect the battery connections.

3.^ Fill fuel tank with appropriate fuel.

3.* Install motive power batteries. (See Battery Installation Instructions)

4.* Charge batteries using instructions provided with charger. (See Battery Charging Instructions)

WARNING

Risk of personal injury. Never fill fuel tank while engine is running. Always be sure gasoline container and sweeper

are electrically connected prior to pouring fuel. This can easily be done by providing an insulated wire (Perma-

nently attached to the container) with a battery clip attached to the other end.

4.^ Check engine crankcase oil level.

5.^ Check radiator coolant level. Permanent type antifreeze is added at the factory to provide pro tection

to approximately -35° F (-2° C) To retain this level of protection always add 1/2 part water to 1/2 part antifreeze.

6. Check fluid level in hydraulic reservoir which is located in the engine compartment. The hydraulic

reservoir is full when fluid can be seen in the sight glass on the side of the reservoir. To get an accurate reading the hopper must be in the “DOWN” position. If fluid is required add HYDRAULIC FLUID ONLY. Use Ford Automatic Transmission Fluid Type “F”.

GLOW PLUG SWITCH (Diesel Only)

The glow plug switch is a momentary type rocker switch that is located on the instrument panel and is used to start the diesel engine. It should be noted that under no circumstances should Ether or other starting aids be used in conjunction with the glow plugs. To prevent damage to the glow plug switch, do not use for more than 60 seconds. They key switch must be placed in the “ON” position before using the glow plug switch.

WARNING BANK

The Warning Bank is located on the instrument panel and provides the operator with six fault/status indicators for engine and sweeper systems. The Operator should monitor the indicators while sweeping. It is very important that the operator be familiar with the meaning of each indicator.

ENGINE TEMP LIGHT

The engine temperature light illuminates to indicate an engine cooling system fault. When this occurs the operator must turn off the sweeper immediately and have the cooling system serviced by a qualified service technician.

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT

When the oil pressure drops below approximately 5 psi an automatic protection circuit shuts down the engine and illuminates the light to indicate low engine oil pressure. When this occurs have the sweeper serviced by a qualified service technician.

CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT

The charging system light illuminates to indicate a charging system fault. When this occurs the sweeper charging system is not working properly and must be serviced by a qualified service technician.

DUST CONTROL LIGHT

The Dust Control Light Illuminates to indicate that the dust control filter is clogged. When this occurs, stop sweeping and use the filter shaker to clear dirt and debris from the filter. After using the filter shaker continue sweeping.

HOPPER TEMPERATURE LIGHT

When the temperature of the air moving through the dust control system in the hopper ex ceeds 140° F, an automatic protection feature shuts down the dust control fan and illuminates the hopper temperature light. When this occurs shut down the sweeper and carefully investi gate for a possible fire in the hopper. The temperature switch must be manually reset.

DUMP DOOR LIGHT

The dump door light will illuminate when the dump door is not fully open. The light warns the operator to open the hopper dump door completely before sweeping. Do not sweep when the light is illuminated.

The battery condition meter is located on the right side of the instrument panel. The condition meter indicates the level of charge in the batteries. The batteries are sufficiently charges when the needle stays in the green area on the gauge while the machine is being operated.

Charge the batteries when the needle drops into the red zone while operating the machine,

Do not operate the machine if the needle stays in the red zone. Operating the sweeper with discharges batteries with degrade battery life.

The filter shaker switch is located on the instrument panel below the fuel gauge. This is a momentary switch that will activate the filter shaker motors for 20 to 30 seconds to clear the dust control filter. The impeller fan will stop when the filter shaker has been activated.

The filter shaker will only operate with the hopper in the “DOWN” position. Use the filter shaker to clear the filter when the dust control light on the warning bank illuminates

and just before dumping the hopper.

To activate the filter shaker press the upper portion of the filter shaker switch momentarily and release. The filter shaker will operate for 20 to 30 seconds.

To ensure the door is fully open while sweeping, monitor the Hopper Dump Door light on the Warning Bank . The light will illuminate when the door is not fully open.

To open the hopper dump door for sweeping or dumping, push the lever forward in the “OPEN” direction until the hopper dump door light goes out.

To close the hopper dump door for dumping or transporting, pull the lever fully back in the “CLOSE” direction and hold for 3 seconds or until you hear the door close.

HOPPER LIFT LEVER

The hopper lift lever is located on the operator’s compartment center console. The lever is a three position hydraulic valve that controls the operation of the hopper lift system. The lever is spring loaded to the center position which stops hopper movement and “HOLDS” the hopper at the present position.

NOTE

To provide hydraulic power to the hopper controls, the

broom control lever must be in the center “Neutral”

Position

To raise the hopper for dumping, move the lever back to the “RAISE” position and hold until the hopper reaches the desired height, then release.

WARNING

To prevent injury, Do not turn on the brooms with the hopper

raised.

To lower the hopper after dumping, move the lever forward to the “LOWER” position until the hopper is fully lowered and seated in the sweeper, then release.
