Page 19: Hopper
3.9 Hopper The hopper is supported on bushings in both lifting arms and has an opening at the rear where the roller housing is attached. Once the hopper has been raised it is tipped into the emptying position by means of a hydraulic cylinder on each lifting arm. To create as wide an opening as possible the stub shafts support lifting arms that raise the roller housing for emptying. -
Page 20: Watering System
3.11 Watering system If there is a risk of dust formation the swept area of the side brushes can be sprayed with water to bind the dust during sweeping. The water is drawn from a water tank, through a filter, by an electric water pump. -

Remove the drain plug and raise the hydraulic pump so that all the oil flows out. -
Page 31: Hydraulic System
6.4 Hydraulic system The hydraulic system must be depressurised before carrying out maintenance on it. Depressurising prevents oil from spraying out when a component is removed. WARNING Even low pressure hydraulic oil can cause eye injury if there is a leak or a component is removed. Make sure that hose connectors are kept clean at all times and their protective caps are fitted when they are disconnected. -
