BROOMS
Hydraulically-driven brooms sweep the debris on
the street onto the conveyor. The main broom is
located behind the lower edge of the conveyor and
directs the debris toward the conveyor.
Large 42 in. (1.1 m) side brooms (Figure D-3) are
available on both the right and left sides. For
sweeping these are lowered and rotated to move
gutter debris to the conveyor. Speed of the brooms
is controlled in-cab, independently of the truck
engine speed.
Digging pressure on all brooms is controlled from
the cab. The pattern that the brooms produce when
the sweeper is stationary is a tool to evaluate the
most efficient positioning and pressure of the
brooms. The brooms can be adjusted to produce the
best pattern and the best result.
CONVEYOR
The heavy-duty, No Jam™ debris conveyor (Figure
D-4) transports debris deposited on it by the main
broom to the hopper. The high-strength belt-type
conveyor conveys bulky items to the hopper without
jamming.
Conveyor speed is controlled from in-cab and can
reverse without reversing the brooms.Conveyor
speed is independent of the truck engine speed.
