items larger than the 14" diameter suction tube must either be manually picked up or
maneuvered around to prevent plugging the suction tube.
7. Light debris such as leaves and paper may have a difficult time getting under the
front seal curtain, especially when encountered in large quantities: thus, producing a
bull-dozing effect in front of the pick-up head. When encountering such debris, the
operator must open the "Pressure Bleeder". The pressure bleeder is a door found
on the pick-up head pressure ring on the left-hand top of the pick-up head. It should
only be opened when needed and should remain closed when not needed in order to
assure maximum performance in normal debris.
8. Sweepers provided with the broom assist head (BAH) give the operator an additional
advantage to remove heavy caked-on debris when encountered. To use the pick-up
head broom move the toggle switch to the down position. This automatically lowers
and turns on the broom. No additional cab controls are necessary for the broom as-
sist as the broom functions automatically once lowered. Rotational speed of the
broom is related to auxiliary engine RPM and is non-adjustable.
NOTE: The pick-up head should always be lowered before turning on the broom
assist and broom assist should always be turned off before raising the
pick-up head!!!
For maximum longevity of the pick-up head broom, the operator should use it only
when necessary. When not in use, the operator should always remember to raise
the broom assist to prevent it from dragging against the pavement.
9. When the sweeping operation is nearing completion, raise the gutter broom(s) first
and continue sweeping before throttling down auxiliary engine. This makes sure all
debris thrown into the street by the gutter broom is picked up before sweeper is shut
down.
10.Throttle down auxiliary engine to idle RPM before raising the pick-up head securely
against the sweeper upstops. Turn off the warning lights and flashers. The operator
should change to the left-hand or legal driving seat at the first safe opportunity for
safest transit of the sweeper.
PICK-UP HEAD MUST BE RAISED FOR TRANSIT!
NEVER BACK SWEEPER WITH PICK-UP HEAD LOWERED UNLESS
EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL REVERSE PICK-UP HEAD CHAINS!
