MACHINE OPERATION
SWEEPING TIPS
Optimal sweeping is normally achieved at manufacturer’s
recommended engine speed of 1800-2000 rpm in Low gear with
forward travel of 2 ½ - 5 mph.
If the broom starts to “hop” or “bounce”, the propelling speed is too high, reduce
the forward travel speed, but maintain high engine speed. Slowing the forward
travel speed of the machine down will help prevent you from having to make a
second pass over the sweeping area with the broom.
In areas where the dirt is “caked”, try to clean it by going over it a second or
third time.
• When changing the direction of travel, allow the machine to come to a
complete stop before moving the directional control pedals. Failure to com-
pletely stop the machine before changing direction can cause premature
failure of the drive components.
• If the dust cloud becomes so thick that it obscures your vision, use the wa-
ter sprinkling system or stop the machine until the dust clears. If possible,
angle the sweeper so that the dust and debris is swept downwind.
• Ensure that the operator of the machine is properly trained and follows all
safety procedures described in this manual.
