HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT

WARNING!

Make sure the Hopper Safety Support (5) is in place whenever attempting to do any maintenance work under or near the raised hopper. The Hopper Safety Support (5) holds the hopper in the raised position to allow work to be performed under the hopper. NEVER rely on the machine’s hydraulic components to safely support the hopper.

JACKING THE MACHINE

CAUTION!

Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.

•When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (Do Not jack on the hopper) - see jacking locations (8).

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

CAUTION!

Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that...

•All access doors are latched securely

•The machine is tied down securely.

•The machine parking brake is set.

TOWING OR PUSHING A DISABLED MACHINE

The machine’s drive propelling pump is manufactured with an adjustable tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.

To access the valve open the Engine Compartment Cover (1) and locate the hydrostatic pump at the rear of the engine. Turn the valve 90 degrees, this disengages the hydrostatic lock between the motor and pump.

CAUTION: The hydraulic propelling pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (A). Reference the illustration below for the normal working setting (A) (vertical) and the free wheeling towing setting (B) (horizontal). Note: If the tow valve is left in free wheeling (B) (horizontal) position the propelling pump can’t drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will result, just re-set valve to the normal working setting (A) (vertical). NOTE: Tow or push machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 miles per hour) and for short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long distances the drive wheel needs to be raised off the ﬂoor and placed on a suitable transport dolly.

SWEEPING

Follow the instructions in the preparing the machine for use section of the manual.

1While seated on the machine, adjust the seat to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (J).

2Release the Parking Brake (F). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal

(G) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.

3Push the Lower Hopper Switch (QQ) to make sure the hopper is seated properly. NOTE: The Hopper UP Indicator (MM) will be illuminated if the hopper is not in the down position.

4Move the Main Broom Lever (B) to the SWEEP (middle notch) position to lower and enable the main broom and dust control systems. NOTE: The dump door opens automatically when the main broom (B) is lowered and closes when the broom is raised.

Use the FULL FLOAT (last notch forward) position only when sweeping extremely rough or uneven ﬂoors. Use at other times will only increase broom wear.

5When sweeping ﬂoors with puddles, push the Dust Control Switch (JJ) to turn OFF the dust control system before the machine enters a puddle. Turn the dust control system back ON when the machine is back on completely dry ﬂoor. NOTE: This is done to prevent the Hopper Dust Control Filter (12) from getting wet.

When sweeping wet ﬂoors, keep the Dust Control Switch (JJ) OFF at all times.

6The Side Broom (9) is automatically enabled when the main broom is lowered and starts spinning when the Drive Pedal (G) is activated. The Side Broom (9) can be turned off and back on at any time by pushing the Side Broom Switch (HH).

The side broom sweeping pattern is adjusted by turning the Side Broom Height Adjustment Knob (10).

7Drive the machine straight forward at a quick walking speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping large amounts of dust or debris or when safe operation dictates slower speeds. Overlap passes 6 inches (15 cm).

8If dust comes out of the broom housing while sweeping, the Dust Control Filter (12) may be clogged. Push the Shaker Switch (LL) to clean the dust control ﬁlter. The dust control system (JJ) will automatically turn OFF while the shaker is running and turn ON after the shaker turns OFF (the shaker runs for 15 seconds).

9Check behind the machine occasionally to make sure that the machine is picking up debris. Dirt left behind in the path of the machine usually indicates that the machine is moving too fast, the broom needs to be adjusted, or the hopper is full.

NOTE: If the machine does not move for 40 seconds, the engine will automatically return to idle. The sweep system will only activate with the engine RPM at high. To begin sweeping again press the Engine Speed Switch (GG) to return engine RPM to high.

EMPTYING THE HOPPER

WARNING!

NOTE: The MINIMUM ceiling height dumping clearance required for raising the hopper is 102” (259.08 cm)

1Put the Main Broom Lever (B) in the UP / OFF position. NOTE: The Shaker will automatically run for about 15 seconds after the main broom is raised. If you do not raise the main broom, push the Shaker Switch (LL) to remove excess dirt from the dust control ﬁlter.

2Drive the machine close to a large trash receptacle and hold the Raise Hopper Switch (RR) until the hopper is all the way up. NOTE: The dump door automatically closes when switch (RR) is pushed. You regain control of the dump door as soon as the hopper begins to raise so you can dump at any height if necessary.

3Move the machine forward until the hopper is over the receptacle and set the Parking Brake (F). Press the Open Dump Door Switch (NN) to open the dump door and empty the hopper. NOTE: If not dumping into a trash receptacle, low dumping is recommended to help eliminate airborne dust.

4Put the Hopper Safety Support (5) in place by pulling back on the Hopper Safety Support Pull Rod (I), then lower the hopper slightly to secure.

5Check the hopper door and the front edge seal. Use a broom, if necessary, to remove litter from these areas. The hopper door must seal tightly against the broom housing bulb gasket for proper operation.

6Return to the operator’s compartment. Release the parking brake. Move the machine back until the hopper will clear the receptacle. Raise the hopper slightly and push forward on the Hopper Safety Support Handle (I) until the Hopper Safety Support (5) disengages, then lower the hopper. NOTE: The brooms will not turn on if the hopper is not completely down. The indicator light (MM) on the control panel should turn OFF indicating that the machine is ready for use.

MAIN BROOM MAINTENANCE

Since the Main Broom Motor always turns in the same direction, the bristles on the broom eventually become curved, reducing sweeping performance. Sweeping performance can be improved by removing the broom and turning it around (end-for-end). This procedure, known as “rotating” the main broom, should be done once every 15 hours of operation. NOTE: This procedure does not apply to the optional chevron broom.

The main broom should be replaced for optimal performance when the bristles are worn to a length of 2 inches (5.08 cm). The Main Broom Adjust Knob (C) must be re-adjusted when the broom is replaced.

NOTE: The machine should be stored with the Main Broom in the raised position.

WARNING!

The engine must not be running when performing this procedure.

CAUTION!

Brooms can be sharp. Wear gloves to protect your hands.

To Rotate or Replace the Main Broom...

1Turn the Ignition Switch (TT) OFF.

2Put the Main Broom Lever (B) in the UP position.

3Open the Right Side Main Broom Access Panel (18).

4See Figure 1. Pivot the Idler Arm Assembly (A1) out of the main broom core. NOTE: The Idler Arm is held in place by the Right Side Main Broom Access Panel (18).

5Pull the Main Broom (A2) out of the broom housing and remove any string or wire wrapped around it. Also inspect the skirts at the front, back and sides of the broom housing. The skirts should be replaced or adjusted if they are torn or worn to a height of more than 1/4 inch (6.35

mm)off the ground.

6Turn the broom around (end-for-end) and slide it back into the broom housing. Make sure that the lugs on the broom core (left side) engage the slots in the broom drive hub and that the broom is fully seated.

7Swing the idler arm assembly back into the broom core. NOTE: Make sure the lugs on the idler arm engage the slots in the broom core

8Close and latch the Right Side Main Broom Access Panel (18).

To Adjust the Main Broom Height...

1Drive the machine to an area with a level ﬂoor and set the parking brake.

2Move the Main Broom Lever (B) to the SWEEP (middle notch) position to lower the main broom. DO NOT move the machine.

3Lightly press the FWD / REV Drive Pedal (G) to start the main broom and repeat three times. This allows the broom to polish a “strip” on the ﬂoor. Raise the broom, release the parking brake and move the machine so that the polished strip is visible.

4Inspect the polished strip on the ﬂoor. If the strip is less than 2 inches (5.08 cm) or more than 3 inches (7.62cm) wide, the broom needs to be adjusted.

5To adjust, loosen the Knob (C) and slide forward or backward to lower or raise the Main Broom. The farther the Lever (B) travels forward in the slot, the lower the Main Broom will be. Tighten Knob (C) after adjusting the position of the stop bracket.

6Repeat steps 1-5 until the polished strip is 2-3 inches (5.08-7.62cm) wide.

The width of the polished strip should be the same at both ends of the broom. If the strip is tapered, move the machine to a different area and repeat steps 1-5. If the polished strip is still tapered, contact your Advance Dealer for service.

HOPPER DUST CONTROL FILTER (PANEL FILTER)

The hopper dust control ﬁlter must be cleaned regularly to maintain the efﬁciency of the vacuum system. Follow the recommended ﬁlter service intervals for the longest ﬁlter life.

CAUTION!

Wear safety glasses when cleaning the ﬁlter. Do not puncture the paper ﬁlter.

Clean the ﬁlter in a well-ventilated area.

Wear appropriate dust mask to avoid breathing in dust.

To remove the hopper dust control ﬁlter...

1Unlatch and open the Hopper Cover (16). Make sure that the Hopper Cover Prop Rod (17) is in place.

2Inspect the top of the Hopper Dust Control Filter (12) for damage. A large amount of dust on top of the ﬁlter is usually caused by a hole in the ﬁlter or a damaged ﬁlter gasket.

Inspect the bottom of the Hopper Dust Control Filter (12). If the ﬁlter is covered with wet or dry mud, the dust control system will not function properly without replacing or thoroughly cleaning the ﬁlter using Method “C”.

3Remove the four Shaker Assembly Retainer Knobs (13). Lift off the Dust Filter Shaker Assembly (11) to access the panel ﬁlter.

4Lift the Hopper Dust Control Filter (12) out of the machine.

5Clean the ﬁlter using one of the methods below: Method “A”

Vacuum loose dust from the ﬁlter. Then gently tap the ﬁlter against a ﬂat surface (with the dirty side down) to remove loose dust and dirt. NOTE: Take care not to damage the metal lip which extends past the gasket.

Method “B”

Vacuum loose dust from the ﬁlter. Then blow compressed air (maximum pressure 100 psi) into the clean side of the ﬁlter (in the opposite direction of the airﬂow).

Method “C”

Vacuum loose dust from the ﬁlter. Then soak the ﬁlter in warm water for 15 minutes, then rinse it under a gentle stream of water (maximum pressure 40 psi). Let the ﬁlter dry completely before putting it back into the machine.

6Follow the instructions in reverse order to install the ﬁlter. If the gasket on the ﬁlter is torn or missing, it must be replaced. NOTE: Before replacing ﬁlter clear debris from dust plate located under ﬁlter. Verify that the debris ﬂap at the rear of the dust plate swings freely

ENGINE RADIATOR AND HYDRAULIC RADIATOR CLEANING

The engine radiator and hydraulic radiator must be occasionally cleaned to prevent overheating and premature wear of engine and hydraulic systems. Follow the recommended service intervals.

CAUTION!

Wear Safety glasses when cleaning the engine radiator and hydraulic heat exchanger.

1Tip back Engine Compartment Cover (1). Disconnect cable latch on the left side of Engine Compartment Cover to allow cover to fully tip back and out of the way.

2Turn the locking mechanism at the top of the hydraulic radiator to allow the hydraulic heat exchanger to fully tip back and away from the radiator for easy cleaning access.

3Blow out engine radiator and hydraulic radiator with air and or use low pressure water to rinse debris from the ﬁns.

NOTE: Do Not use a pressure washer or a mechanical brush to clean ﬁns since this can cause damage to the ﬁns. If ﬁns get bent, carefully straighten them to improve cooling performance.

4Restore hydraulic radiator to raised position and latch into place

5Reconnect Engine Compartment Cover (1) cable and fully return the cover normal operational position

HYDRAULIC OIL

Unlatch and swing open the Oil Reservoir / Fuel tank Cover (20). Remove the reservoir cap to check the oil level. The hydraulic oil level should be half way up the screen ﬁlter inside the ﬁller neck of the reservoir. Add SAE 10W30 motor oil if it is below this level. Change the oil if major contamination from a mechanical failure occurs.

ENGINE OIL – GASOLINE / PETROL & LPG

Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the ﬁrst 35 hours of operation and every 150 hours after that. Use any SF or SG rated oil meeting API speciﬁcations and suited to seasonal temperatures. Refer to the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine speciﬁcations. Replace the oil ﬁlter with every oil change.

TEMPERATURE RANGE	OIL WEIGHT
Above 60° F (15° C)	SAE 10W-30
Below 60° F (15° C)	SAE 5W-30

ENGINE OIL - DIESEL

Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the ﬁrst 35 hours of operation and every 150 hours after that. Use CF, CF-4 or CG-4 oil meeting API speciﬁcations and suited temperatures (*important reference the oil/fuel type note below for further diesel oil recommendations). Refer to the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine speciﬁcations. Replace the oil ﬁlter with every oil change.

TEMPERATURE RANGE	OIL WEIGHT
Above 77 °F (25 °C)	SAE 30 or 10W-30
32 °F to 77 °F (0 °C to 25 °C)	SAE 20 or 10W-30
Below 32 °F (0 °C)	SAE 10W or 10W-30

* Diesel Lubricating Oil Note:

With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use of a low-sulfur fuel on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to employ the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil with a high total base number. If the CF-4 or CG-4 lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating oil at shorter intervals.

• Lubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel is employed.

ENGINE COOLANT

Open the Engine Compartment Cover (1) and observe the coolant level in the Coolant Recovery Tank (22). If the level is low, add a mixture of half water and half automotive type anti-freeze.

CAUTION!

Do not remove the Radiator Cap (23) when the engine is hot.

ENGINE AIR FILTER

Check the Engine Air Filter Service Indicator (24) before each use of the machine. Do not service the air ﬁlter unless the red ﬂag is visible in the service indicator. NOTE: After cleaning or replacing the engine air ﬁlter, the service indicator can be reset by pressing the end of the indicator.

CAUTION!

When servicing the engine air ﬁlter elements, use extreme care to prevent loose dust from entering the engine. Dust can severely damage the engine.

The engine air ﬁlter contains a Primary (outer) and a Safety (inner) ﬁlter element. The Primary Element may be cleaned twice before being replaced. The Safety Element should be replaced every third time that the Primary Filter Element is replaced. Never attempt to clean the Inner Safety Element.

To clean the Primary Filter Element, unsnap the 2 clips at the end of the air ﬁlter and remove the end housing. Pull the primary element out. Clean the element with compressed air (maximum pressure 100 psi) or wash it with water (maximum pressure 40 psi). DO NOT put the element back into the canister until it is completely dry.

Empty dust from the outer plastic housing by squeezing the rubber ﬂap. Orientate ﬂap down when reinstalling.
