Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Safety Props Hopper Prop Rear Door Prop Ensure the hopper safety prop has completely deployed when the hopper is in the raised position. Never work under a partially raised hopper or if the hopper safety prop is not fully deployed.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions The CAN Bus System The CAN Bus system comprises of two control panels, main and auxiliary, an LCD monitor and a number of control nodes. The system controls and monitors all the sweeping functions and maintains a log of various operating parameters such as operating hours and fault conditions that may occur.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Main Control Panel Switch Functions Switch functions are described from left to right and top to bottom. F1 and F2 - Press to activate special options. System Start/Sweep Mode - Press to start/stop auxiliary engine and sweep mode.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Auxiliary Control Panel Switch Functions Switch functions are described from left to right and top to bottom. High Pressure Water Pump * - Press to switch on/off the high pressure water pump. Suction Fan - Press to start the suction fan.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Remote Control Switch Box Functions The hopper raise/lower and rear door open/close switches are located on the remote control switch box. This is stowed in the cab, between the drivers seat and the cab door, it is connected to a socket via a coiled lead.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions The LCD Monitor The sweeping monitor displays information on the current status of the sweeper while it is in sweep mode, by indicating which items of equipment are active, plus other relevant information i.e. fluid levels, fan speed and temperatures, it also alerts the user to any warnings by means of appropriate flashing symbols and, when appropriate, a warning buzzer.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Additional Controls and Instruments Do not exceed a pressure of 2.5 bar when adjusting brush pressure settings. Failure to comply will result in drastically reduced brush life. Pressure regulator Air Pressure Regulator Pressure gauge Used to adjust the amount of up/down thrust applied to the brush(es).
• The CAN Bus system checks that all control nodes are present and functioning correctly. • The LCD Monitor turns on and for a few seconds displays a Scarab logo (splash) screen. • The LCD Monitor then displays a simplified graphic of the truck, the time and auxiliary engine speed.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Suction Fan Boost When required a boost setting is available for the suction fan. This increases the fan speed and is used when sweeping heavy material. To operate the fan at the boost setting carry out the following procedure: 1.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Exiting Sweep Mode/Stopping the Auxiliary Engine 1. Switch off the suction fan , located on the main control panel. The suction fan symbol on the LCD monitor will change from green to white See page 14.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Discharging the Hopper (Tipping) Before raising the hopper ensure that the machine is on firm, level ground and there are no Ensure the hopper safety prop overhead obstructions. has completely deployed when the hopper is in the Ensure that all personnel are clear of the rear door and there is enough room for it to open raised position.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Rear Door Operation Ensure that all personnel are clear of the rear door and there is enough room for it to open fully. Ensure that the suction fan has been switched off. See page 16. Rear Door Prop When working with the door in the fully raised position ensure that the door safety prop has properly deployed.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Auxiliary Hand Pump The auxiliary hand pump is used to raise the hopper or open the rear door if the auxiliary engine has failed, hydraulic pump is not working or there is electrical failure on the machine.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Wander Hose The wander hose is permanently mounted on the rear of the vehicle. The weight of the hose and nozzle are supported by a gas strut attached to the boom assembly. To use the wander hose proceed as follows: 1.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Overhead Boom The following can not be done with the suction fan ON. Assembly of overhead boom 1. Open the locker door on the side of the hopper that the overhead boom is located. 2. Insert the door stay.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Dust Suppression System Use of the low pressure water spray, dust suppression, system when sweeping, will reduce the amount of dust generated and ensure a more efficient collection of material. This is because wet material is heavier and will drop more readily from the air stream in the hopper.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions High Pressure Water System High pressure water can be dangerous, always wear goggles or suitable eye/face protection. Exercise extreme care when using the lance, do not direct the jet towards yourself, other people or electrical equipment.
Scarab M65T Operating Instructions Suction Path Blockage Clearance Always wear appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE). A blockage in the suction path will be indicated by a trail of material behind the vehicle. The most likely cause is an obstacle either in the suction nozzle, or the trunking immediately above it, around which other material collects as sweeping progresses.
