HAND HOSE OPTION
A simple, yet effective, optional feature offered on the Model 210 sweeper is the hand hose at
-
tachment. The hand hose was designed to allow the cleaning of those areas that the sweeper
can not get into, such as corners, between posts, ditches, etc. However, when using the hand
hose, the street sweeping portion of the sweeper is disabled. The reason for this is that to use
the hand hose the hopper suction inlet must be blocked off. By doing this, all the hopper vacuum
is diverted to the hand hose. To operate the hand hose, use the following instructions:
1. Park the sweeper next to area to be cleaned within range of the hand hose nozzle.
2. Insert the shutter plate (stored inside the chassis cab) between suction transition seal
and hopper inlet.
3. Remove hand hose from transit hangers.
4. Open hand hose door and swing hand hose assembly around and clamp to hand
hose port.
5. Start the auxiliary engine; lower the pick-up head and turn on the hopper water sys-
tem which supplies water to the hopper spray nozzle.
6. Set engine RPM according to the debris load:
Engine RPM
Paper, leaves, cans & bottles 1500-1800
Heavy dirt and gravel 1800-2200
Water, mud, shallow catch basin 2000-2200
NOTE: When using hand hose to remove water or mud, do not submerge end of
nozzle. The hand hose picks up debris by the in-rush of air; if no air is
allowed to enter nozzle, then no debris will be picked up. Hold nozzle end
just slightly above water or mud for best results.
WARNING:
Never direct hand hose nozzle at another person or serious injury
may occur.
7. Once the hand hose operation is completed, always turn hopper water and auxiliary
engine off and unlatch hand hose from port before swinging assembly around to re-
clamp to transit hangers.
8. After hand hose has been clamped to transit hangers, remove shutter plate from
hopper suction inlet. Failure to do so will render sweeper inoperable as debris from
pick-up head is blocked off from hopper.
