Brush Tilt Control Screen This is the control screen for the brush tilt, it is navigated by rotating the Encoder to select the side brush you want to control.
Maven 65 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 15. 2.
Maven 65 Operating Instructions Discharging the Hopper (Tipping) Before raising the hopper ensure that the machine is on firm, level ground and there are no overhead Ensure the hopper safety prop obstructions. has completely deployed Ensure that all personnel are clear of the rear door and there is enough room for it to open fully. when the hopper is in the raised position.
Maven 65 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. Rear Door Prop Ensure that the suction fan has been switched off. See page 17. When working with the door in the fully raised position ensure that the door safety prop has properly deployed.
Maven 65 Operating Instructions Access Steps The access steps are mounted on the left side of the machine and are used to gain access to the engine gantry walkway. Follow this procedure to lower access steps: 1. Raise the hopper, see page 26. 2.
Maven 65 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.
Maven 65 Operating Instructions Wander Boom Hose The wander boom hose, if fitted, 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.

Maven 65 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.
Maven 65 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. Failure to comply could result in serious injury.
Maven 65 Operating Instructions Draining the Water System The procedure to drain the water from the system is as follows: 1. Close water feed valve (1). 2. Remove bowl and filter from water strainer (3). 3. Clean bowl and filter. 4.
Maven 65 Operating Instructions Air Purge the Water System The Maven 65 has fitted an air purge system to assist with removing water from the system, this should always be used if the temperature is expected to fall below 0°c. 1.
Maven 65 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.
