  • Page 15: Operation

    OPERATION CONTROLS STARTING AND STOPPING THE SWEEPER The Pick-Up Sweepers use the prime mover hydraulic flow to operate. To start the brush, turn on the prime mover auxiliary hydraulics. To stop the brush, turn off the auxiliary hy- draulic flow. To avoid motor damage, do not stop the sweeper at high engine speed. Decrease engine RPM before turning off the hydraulic flow. TRAVEL DIRECTION Travel should be in the forward direc- tion and brush rotation always away from the operator.
  • Page 16: Intended Use

    OPERATION INTENDED USE: This sweeper is designed solely for use in construction cleanup, road maintenance and similar operations. Use in any other way is considered contrary to intend- ed use. Compliance with and strict adherence to operation, service and repair conditions, as specified by the manufacturer, are essential elements of intended use.
  • Page 17: Before Operating Sweeper

    OPERATION BEFORE OPERATING SWEEPER: • Learn sweeper and prime mover controls in an off-road location. • Be sure that you are in a safe area, away from traffic or other hazards. • Perform all daily maintenance listed in the Maintenance section of this manual. • Check tire pressures and ratings before sweeping. Be sure they match the prime mover load rating.
  • Page 18: Operating Tips

    OPERATION NOTICE! AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Reduce travel speed to avoid hitting immovable objects. OPERATING TIPS NOTICE! Avoid sweeper damage. Do not ram into piles.
