SWEEPER DELUGE (OPTIONAL)
FUNCTION:
The sweeper deluge option consists of a hopper deluge and a pick-up head deluge. The hop
-
per deluge will clean most of the internal hopper (screens, walls, dump door, floor). The pick-up
head deluge works when the pick-up head is down and the blower is turned on. It cleans the
BAH broom, the suction tube, the suction inlet of the hopper, and the deflector shield inside the
hopper. The sweeper deluge option is intended to speed up sweeper clean up at the end of the
day. Both deluge systems utilize the hydrant water fill hose supplied with the sweeper.
NOTE: The pick-up head deluge should be run first before the hopper deluge for best
results.
Pick-Up Head Deluge Procedure
1) Lower the pick up head and pull forward to seal the pick-up head curtains.
2) Detach the fill hose from the sweeper and attach it to the pick-up head deluge quick-dis-
connect located on the pressure side of the pick-up head.
3) Attach the other end of the fill hose to a hydrant.
4) Increase Blower rpm to maximum speed.
5) Fully open hydrant for approximately2–3minutes then turn OFF the blower.
NOTE: It is extremely important to not allow water to be sucked into the blower
housing. This can cause premature blower wheel failure. One indication
of water being sucked into blower wheel housing is bent blower wheel
fins. Blower damage due to water ingestion will not be covered under
warranty!!!
6) Close hydrant and open hopper door to empty hopper.
