HOPPER DOOR LEVER (figure 18)
The hopper door lever is located on the operator’s compart-
ment center console and is used to close and open the
hopper dump door. The lever is a three position hydraulic valve
that is spring loaded to the center position which “HOLDS”
the hopper door in position.
NOTE
To provide hydraulic power to the hopper controls, the broom
control lever must be in the center “Neutral” Position
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 CENTER 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 CENTER lever fully back in the “CLOSE” direction and
hold for 3 seconds or until you hear the door close.
HOPPER LIFT LEVER (figure 19)
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 RIGHT HAND 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 RIGHT HAND
lever forward to the “LOWER” position until the hopper is fully
lowered and seated in the sweeper, then release.
HOPPER LID (figure 20)
The hopper lid provides the operator with easy access to the
hopper debris compartment for refuse disposal or visual
inspection. The dust control must be turned off before opening
the hopper lid.
To open the hopper lid turn the dust control switch to the
“OFF” position then unlatch and lift the front hinged lid. The
Hopper lid must be closed while sweeping. Failure to close
the door completely will cause poor dust control while
sweeping.
