A - DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PEDAL
This pedal controls the direction of travel and the
speed of the machine.
Slowly pressing the front of the pedal causes the
machine to travel forward. Pressing the rear of the
pedal causes the vehicle to travel in reverse. The
machine speed can be controlled by varying the
pressure on the front or rear of the pedal.
FOR SAFETY: The machine can coast for a short
distance after releasing the directional pedal. Use
the brake pedal to slow or stop the machine.
B – BRAKE PEDAL
This brake operates the disc brakes on the two front
tires. To slow or stop the machine, apply pressure
to the brake pedal.
C – PARKING BRAKE LEVER
The knob located above the brake pedal is the
parking brake knob. To set the parking brake, slide
the parking brake knob up to the top of its slot, then
depress the brake pedal. To release the parking
brake, slide the parking brake knob to the bottom of
its slot. The brake pedal will return to its raised
position.
FOR SAFETY: Always park on a level surface, turn
the machine off, and set the parking brake before
leaving the machine, and before servicing the
machine.
D – OPERATOR SEAT
The operators seat position is adjustable. To
change positions loosen the four lower mounting
bolts and slide the seat to the desired position.
Tighten the four mounting bolts.
E – REAR COVER LATCH
The rear cover latch locks the rear cover in the
closed position. To open the rear cover, push the
latch in and pull the rear cover back. To close the
rear cover, lower it slowly until the latch engages the
floor slot. Do not let the rear cover drop, or damage
to the latch or cover may occur.
FOR SAFETY: When the rear cover is open a
safety switch prevents the operation of the main
broom and vacuum impeller.
F – MAIN BROOM LEVER
FOR SAFETY: The main broom and the vacuum
impeller automatically begin to operate when the
main broom lever is positioned in the forward end of
its slot.
The main broom lever controls the position and the
drive of the main broom. To start the main broom
and lower it to the floor, release the main broom
lever and let it drop to the front end of its slot. To
shut off and raise the main broom, pull the main
broom lever back into its locked position.
G – SIDE BROOM LEVER
FOR SAFETY: The side broom automatically
begins to operate when the side broom lever is
positioned in the forward end of its slot.
The side broom lever controls the position and the
drive of the side broom. To start the side broom and
lower it to the floor, release the side broom lever and
let it drop to the front end of its slot. To shut off and
raise the side broom, pull the side broom lever back
into its locked position.
When parking the machine, always raise the brooms
to prevent the bristles from taking a set.
H – FILTER SHAKER SWITCH
The filter shaker switch operates the dust filter
cleaning system.
For efficient sweeping the filter must be cleaned on
a regular basis. To clean the filters, pull the Wet
Sweep Bypass knob, then push and hold the filter
shaker switch for 10-20 seconds. Clean the filters
just before dumping the hopper. In very dusty
conditions the filter may need to be cleaned more
frequently.
