DUST CONTROL SYSTEM
The optional dust control system is designed to control the normal amounts of dust created by
the operation of the sweeper under normal sweeping conditions. The dust control system (of
-
ten referred to as the water system) is only effective when the sweeper is operating properly.
Problems such as bad door seals, worn pick-up head curtains, holes in the suction/pressure
hoses can cause extremely dusty conditions which cannot be controlled by a properly function
-
ing dust control system.
A. OPERATION
The following procedure is recommended for operation of the TYMCO® Model 210dust
control system:
1. Fill the water tank. A 29 gallon (110 liter) water tank is located on the left side of the
sweeper just under the dust separator (See picture below). The tank fill/drain valve
has a female adapter allowing the tank to be filled with a common garden hose. The
tank is full when water is observed to run out vent tube on top of tank.
2. Controls for the dust control system are located in the cab on the control console
panel. To activate system, start sweeper engine, then turn on main water toggle
switch which activates the water pump. If the tank contains water, select the desired
water distribution switches and water will continue to spray until sweeper engine is
shut off, water toggle switch is turned off or water tank is emptied. If the water tank
is emptied, the low water light will come on indicating that the water system has shut
off automatically.
3. At end of shift, fill tank and then drain to flush out tank.
