SNOW CUTTER ASSEMBLY AND USE (optional)
CAUTION!
To install this equipment, the sweeper should be equipped with the appropriate fi tting.
Snow cutter assembly
Disassemble the suction inlet (17, Fig. G) (see the procedure in the relevant paragraph).
Disassemble the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) (see the procedure in the relevant paragraph).
Operating on a level ground, bring the sweeper into a suitable position to install the snow cutter (Fig. AW).
Turn off the engine and engage the parking brake (13, Fig. E).
Place the snow cutter on the arms (15, Fig. AW) and secure it with the screws (13).
On both sides of the machine, tighten the screws (14, Fig. AW) on the arms (15).
Remove the protection cover, then connect the hydraulic system quick couplings (1, Fig. AV) to the corresponding pipe
couplings (3).
Connect the hydraulic system quick coupling (2, Fig. AW) to the pipe coupling (4), which corresponds to the pipe (2, Fig. AY)
used for the suction inlet.
Open the left side upper and lower lids (9 and 11, Fig. G) by disengaging the fasteners (10 and 12) with the supplied key.
If present, turn the lever (17, Fig. AW) from the position (17a) (high-pressure water gun activation) to the position (17b) (snow
cutter activation).
NOTE
The lever (17, Fig. AW) is present only if the machine is equipped with the high-pressure washing system (see 21
and 22, Fig. F).
Close the left side upper and lower lids (11 and 9, Fig. G) by engaging the fasteners (10 and 12) with the supplied key.
Now the machine is ready to operate with the snow cutter.
Snow cutter disassembly
Disassemble the snow cutter in the reverse order of assembly.
Secure and protect the snow cutter properly.
Snow cutter use
Assemble the snow cutter (Fig. AW) according to the procedure shown in the relevant paragraphs.
To lift/lower the snow cutter use the suction inlet lifting/lowering controls.
Turn on the snow cutter (10, Fig. AW) with the switch (30, Fig. D).
To change the snow cutter speed according to engine speed, use the knob (18, Fig. AW).
Before using the snow cutter (10, Fig. AW), check its height from the ground according to the following procedure.
Drive the machine with the snow cutter on a level ground.
Lower the snow cutter on the ground.
Engage the parking brake with the lever (13, Fig. E).
Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (24, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove it.
Check the distance from the ground of the cutter (10, Fig. AW) along its length; if necessary adjust it, but keep a safety
distance according to the type of ground/fl oor/road. Stones and gravel are dangerous because they can be thrown against
people or objects, and cause damages to the machine.
To adjust the height of the cutter (10, Fig. AW), lift/lower the side sliding blocks (11) with the winches (12).
To direct the snow discharge pipe (7, Fig. AW), use the winch (16).
To direct the discharge baffl e plate (5, Fig. AW), use the knobs (6).
To clean the snow cutter use the tool (8).
WARNING!
The snow cutter can be safely cleaned only when the machine and cutter are stopped!
Now the machine is ready to operate with the snow cutter.
If necessary, fi t snow chains on the front wheels of the sweeper.
