KEY SWITCH (figure 3)
The keyed ignition switch is located on the instrument
panel to the right of the steering column. The key switch is
a four position switch that controls power to the sweeper
systems and accessories. The “OFF ” position (0 position)
will shut off the engine. The IGN./ON position (I position)
provides power to all sweeper systems and accessories.
The “START” position (one position clockwise of I position)
is momentary and provides power to the starter motor. The
“ACC” (one position counterclockwise of 0 position) position
is the same as the IGN./ON position and provides power to
all electrical systems and accessories.
ENGINE SPEED SWITCH (Gas/LP) (figure 4)
The engine is controlled by a three-position switch which is
located on the instrument panel above the key switch. The
switch position determines the operating speed of the
engine. Place the speed switch in the “IDLE” position to
start the sweeper. Place the switch in the “1” position for
transport and when normal sweeping action is desired.
Place the switch in the “2” position for transport and
sweeping lightweight debris.
THROTTLE LEVER (Diesel) (figure 2)
The throttle lever is located on the left side console. There
are 3 throttle speed positions - IDLE, 1, and 2. To operate,
grasp the lever and push up and left to desired locking
notch. To reduce to idle, grasp the lever and push it up and
to theright (away from both locking notches). Let the lever
lower until it rests at the bottom of the slot.
“Load” (brooms and/or brushes and/or dust control operat-
ing) and “No Load” (brooms, brushes & dust control off)
RPMs are the same for gas and LP equipment; The will be
a slight drop between “Load” and “No Load” RPMs with
diesels. Always return the throttle switch/lever to the idle
position before turning off the key to stop the engine.
HOUR METER (figure 5)
The hour meter is located on the instrument panel. The
meter is activated when the engine begins running. The
meter indicates actual “run” time of the sweeper. The meter
can be used to determine when maintenance should be
done on the sweeper
FUEL GAUGE (figure 5)
The fuel gauge is located on the instrument panel and
indicates the level of fuel in the tank. The fuel gauge is
powered by the key switch. The key switch must be in the
“ON” position for the fuel gauge to work. The fuel gauge is
not included on machines that use Liquid Propane fuel.
