Operating Instructions - Unidrive Truckmounted Road Sweeper
GENERAL INFORMATION
TOWING
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WILL RESULT IF THE VEHICLE IS TOWED WHILE
THE GEARBOX IS ENGAGED.
If towing is necessary, it is imperative that the prop shaft is disengaged from the differential
or that the rear wheels are clear of the ground before making any attempt to tow the vehicle.
IDENTIFICATION PLATES
The SERIAL NUMBER PLATE is located on the rear face of the left hand suction nozzle spigot.
The Serial Number will comprise four numerical digits only (for example 5843).
For the location of the vehicle's VIN PLATE and CHASSIS NUMBER, refer to the chassis
manufacturers' documentation.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
The Scarab Merlin, Merlin XP and Magnum are classified as truck-mounted heavy-duty
suction road sweepers and, as such, are intended only for operation in the sweeping and
associated roles for which they have been expressly designed.
The sweeper bodywork is integrated to the truck/carrier vehicle, and is therefore not
demountable.
APPLICABILITY
This manual covers the operating requirements of the Scarab Merlin, Merlin XP and
Magnum Hydrostatic sweepers with the CANbus 3 system.
Warning
CB Radios and other electrical equipment used in the sweeper should be
properly suppressed (EMC) to prevent the possibility of interference in the
sweeper electronic system
