PRESSURE BLEEDER
The pressure bleeder is a small door located on the pick-up head pressure ring just below the
pressure hose. When the pressure bleeder door is opened by controls within the cab, part of
the pressure air stream is diverted to the atmosphere. This causes the vacuum beneath the
pick-up head to be intensified; thus, lifting the front curtain. This allows light debris to be drawn
under the pick-up head. This operation should be done only when necessary to pick up light de
-
bris and the pressure bleeder kept closed at all other times.
Open pressure bleeder door only when sweeping light debris;
otherwise pressure bleeder should be kept closed.
