ABOUT THE M6’S HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM
Ensure that the oil cooler is kept clean. If the hydraulic oil is allowed to exceed its
maximum working temperature a warning buzzer will sound in the cab and a
warning will
flash up on the control panel. The auxiliary engine MUST be stopped
IMMEDIATELY. Failure to comply will result in damage to hydraulic pumps or motors.
In the event of a severe oil leak, the appropriate warning will flash up on the control
panel and the brush system will automatically shut down. If this situation occurs, STOP
the v
ehicle’s auxiliary engine IMMEDIATELY and investigate the cause. The brush
system will not operate until the hydraulic oil level is replenished.
The hydraulic pumps are driven directly from the vehicle’s auxiliary
engine and require no maintenance. The system is protected by a low
oil-level switch, which function as follows:
1. Th
e low oil-level switch actuates a warning on the sweeper control
panel’S LCD screen and automatically stops the sweeping system
if oil level drops below the minimum safety limit (e.g. a severe leak).
Contact your area maintenance workshop immediately.
A hand-operated pump is fitted, so that the hopper can be raised
man
ually if a hydraulic pump failure occurs (refer to Page 16).
