    The TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER can achieve your anticipated results while keeping cost at a minimum. However, to realize the full potential of the TYMCO REGENERA- TIVE AIR SWEEPER, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ITS CAPABILITIES AND ADHERE CLOSELY TO OPERATING AND JOB FUNCTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.
  • Page 12 An inspection at the dump site, however, may reveal that there are rocks and large objects in the hopper. This is due to air currents in the TYMCO RE- GENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM having the potential to pick up various large objects and retain them.

  • Page 16: Hopper Assembly

    HOPPER ASSEMBLY The TYMCO Model 600 hopper has a volumetric area of 7.3 cubic yards and is subjected to the most severe working conditions of any area on the sweeper. The worst enemy of the hopper assembly is CORROSION! To prevent the hopper from rusting, it should be thoroughly washed at the end of each shift.

  • Page 18 2. Hopper Seals - The hopper must be maintained air tight for the sweeper to perform adequately. Daily inspect the inspection door seal, dump door seal, transition seals and, if hand hose attachment is used, the hand hose door seal. If any section of the seal material is missing, replace the seal.

  • Page 20: Blower Assembly

    BLOWER ASSEMBLY A large turbine type blower is used in the TYMCO Model 600 to generate both the vacuum and pressure air stream with which to sweep. The blower assembly is found on the left side of the sweeper in the blower housing (see Page 3) and is driven by an auxiliary engine through a sheave and belt system.
  • Page 21 C. SWEEPING SPEEDS The best sweeping speeds for the TYMCO SWEEPER will be between 1-10 MPH and will be dependent upon how heavy the street curb is loaded. The lighter the curb debris, the faster the sweeper can sweep. However, faster speeds will cause faster wear of the pick-up head curtains and skid plates.
  • Page 22 A. Blower - Wear on the blower is normal; however, the blower should be replaced when sweeping performance is noticeable reduced. B. Blower Housing Liner and Blower Lip - A rubber bolt-in wear liner is used to protect the metal scroll in the blower housing. The liner should be inspected every 500 hours of sweeper operation and replace if expanded metal is evi- dent.

  • Page 24: Hydraulic System

    Located on the hydraulic reservoir is the hydraulic system oil filter. The filter should be changed every 100 hours of sweeper service. The hydraulic oil filter is a spin-on automotive type (TYMCO P/N 5010080). NOTE: Drain the break-in oil after initial 100 hours of operation, then once every 12 months or 1000 hours, whichever occurs first.
  • Page 25 D. CONTROL VALVE SERVICE Should the switch fail to activate the component, manual override buttons are provided on top and bottom of each valve segment. Use the following procedure to engage the manual override buttons: 1. Locate valve segment not functioning. 2.

  • Page 26: Gutter Broom

    GUTTER BROOM The Model 600 utilizes a vertical digger design enabling the gutter broom to remove heavy de- bris from the gutter and transfer it in front of the pick-up head. The gutter broom is also designed such that it will fold under the cab if run into the curb or any other stationary object. The gutter broom is controlled from inside the cab with an electric toggle switch located on the control console panel.
  • Page 27 NEW BRISTLE CONTACT PATTERN (M00762) CAUTION: Street sweeping requires a great deal of concentration by the opera- tor to avoid road hazards such as parked cars, pedestrians, chuckholes, etc. Judge street conditions and operate sweeper at safe speed, regardless of how heavy or light the curb debris. 2008 600OPTRS...
  • Page 28 To replace bristles, use the following procedure: 1. Lower gutter broom; turn sweeper engine off. 2. Remove bolts from bristle segments one segment at a time. TYMCO segments use two course threaded 5/8" bolts to lock segment to disc. No nut is used on bottom side.
  • Page 29 4. Remove segment clamp and install 3/8" center support bolt. 5. Once all four segments have been installed, check spring tension and tilt setting. C. SERVICE 1. Torque Motor Shaft - routine service of the gutter broom requires DAILY inspec- tion of the torque motor output shaft.

  • Page 30: Pick-Up Head

    PICK-UP HEAD The pick-up head is the most important component of the TYMCO MODEL 600 REGENERA- TIVE AIR SWEEPER . But, because the pick-up head must be dragged on the pavement, it can be seriously damaged by careless operation. Even when the pick-up head is fully raised, it is still close to the pavement and care must be taken not to damage it in transit.
  • Page 31 NOTE: Rubber curtain seal material is critical for proper wear life and sweeper per- formance. Use only TYMCO replacement curtains in order to guarantee sweeper performance. To replace curtains, refer to Service & Parts Manual. C. PICK-UP HEAD ADJUSTMENTS 1.

  • Page 35: Pressure Bleeder

    PRESSURE BLEEDER The pressure bleeder is a small door located on the pick-up head pressure ring just below the pressure hose. When the pressure bleeder door is opened by controls within the cab, part of the pressure air stream is diverted to the atmosphere. This causes the vacuum beneath the pick-up head to be intensified;...

  • Page 38: Hand Hose Operation

    HAND HOSE ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL) WARNING: Never direct hand hose nozzle at another person as serious injury may occur. The optional auxiliary hand hose is designed to clean areas inaccessible to the sweeper during normal operation, such as shallow catch basins, highway medians, railing, etc. The standard hand hose is a flexible hose with an aluminum 52 inch extension.
  • Page 39 6. Set RPM to desired engine speed. Turbo Engine A. Paper, leaves, cans and bottles - 1500 RPM B. Heavy dirt and gravel - 1600 RPM C. Water, mud, shallow catch basins - 1800 RPM NOTE: Do not submerge nozzle in liquids or mud; hold slightly above for best results.

    AUTO SWEEP INTERRUPT (OPTIONAL) DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION WARNING! The ASI System does not automatically inhibit the sweeper from backing up.
