11. During sweeping, adjust the amount of spray
water using Spray Water Flow (#33).
12. If necessary, turn on lights using:
Side Broom Light Switch (left-#4, right-#8)
Beacon Light Switch (optional) (#20)
Floodlight Switch (standard for right side,
optional for left side) (#21).
13. Use the Engine Throttle Control (#36) to set
the recommended rpm according to sweeping
conditions. See Chart O-1 for rpm and mph.
14. Shift transmission to Neutral.
15. Shift two-speed axle to Low.
16. Shift transmission to desired range for sweep-
ing.
Sweeping with the axle in low range and the trans-
mission in first gear will improve ground speed
control and reduce the need to apply the brakes.
This will also allow system air pressure to be main-
tained more easily.
The side mirror must be correctly adjusted to view
side broom operation and location.
If during sweeping objects become jammed in the
conveyor, the conveyor can be reversed. the
Conveyor Rotate switch (#26) should be put in the
neutral (center) position to stop the conveyor, then
pressed rearward to reverse the conveyor.
NOTICE
Never operate the conveyor in reverse for more than
30 seconds. Doing so may cause misalignment of the
belt and result in damage.
NOTICE
If the sweeper itself is shifted into reverse, the Elgin
Eagle will automatically raise the sweeping compo-
nents. These components will return to sweeping
positions when the sweeper is shifted back to neu-
tral or drive.
