A TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER can be expected to clean normal debris that may
accumulate on streets, parking lots, and other flat paved surfaces. Using the machine for more
than it was originally designed will cause excessive wear and failure to achieve the desired
results.
This Sweeper is not a Vacuum Cleaner. Cleaning is actually done by a stream of high velocity
air the full width of the pick-up head. A blower furnishes both pressure and suction. Air pressure
from the blower passes over the surface being swept within the pick-up head, blows up debris
in its path, and the suction pulls it into the hopper, where it is separated. Air continues on into the
blower and the cycle is repeated.
The TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER is not intended nor is it expected to replace a
shovel crew or a front end loader. An inspection at the dump site, however, may reveal that
there are rocks and large objects in the hopper. This is due to air currents in the TYMCO RE
-
GENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM having the potential to pick up various large objects and retain
them. The mixture of light debris will sometimes boost the large objects into the air stream and
carry them into the hopper. Objects such as cans, bottles, glass, paper, leaves and light stringy
refuse or normal daily accumulation of debris are easily picked up by the Sweeper’s unique
REGENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM.
We can not say what blower RPM or truck speed at which you can achieve your Sweeper’s full
capabilities because of the various types of sweeping encountered. However, engine RPM
should not exceed 2000. For parking lot sweeping consisting of paper, broken glass, cans,
leaves, etc., engine RPM can be reduced as desired. The Sweeper can be operated at truck
speeds up to 10 MPH without changing blower RPM. The above limits are intended for smooth
wide open spaces that are sparsely scattered with debris. Slower truck speeds are advisable
for curb and gutter work or where there are many obstacles. This prevents damage and wear to
pick-up head and gutter broom. Faster speeds may be necessary under your particular condi-
tions. However, you may expect considerably more wear, not only by the hour as a result of
more coverage, but also by the mile. The heat generated at higher speeds will result in soften-
ing of the materials in contact with the surface. We would advise consideration of these facts
before allowing high speed operation, overloading and machine neglect.
SAVE FUEL, REDUCE NOISE, WEAR AND DUST.
OPERATE AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE R.P.M. TO ADEQUATELY DO THE JOB.
