PARKING BRAKE
1. Engage the parking brake by pressing the pedals (35) and (36) simultaneously.

SWEEPING
Follow the instructions in the Preparing The Machine For Use paragraph.
1. Drive the machine to the work area as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. Lower the hopper properly by using the lever (54) if hopper not already in down position.
3. Lower and turn on the main broom with the lever (53).
CAUTION!
Avoid stopping for a long time with the machine in the same position and the brooms rotating: this could create
unwanted marks on the floor.
NOTE
The hopper dumping door opens automatically when the main broom lowers and closes automatically as soon as the
main broom is lifted.
4. Press the upper part of the switch (68) to turn on the vacuum fan dust control system.
WARNING!
When working on wet floors, turn off the vacuum fan and the dust control system with the switch (68) to
preserve the dust filter.
Turn on the vacuum fan and the dust control system as soon as the machine returns to a dry floor.
5. Lower and turn on the side brooms (9) (15, optional) with the lever (52).
If equipped, turn on the DustGuard™ system with the switch (69).
6. Drive the machine straight forward at a quick walking speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping large amounts of dust
or debris or when safe operation dictates slower speeds. Overlap passes 5.9 in (15 cm).
7. For proper machine operation, the dust filter must be as clean as possible. To clean the dust filter while sweeping, turn on the
filter shaker by pressing the lower part of the switch (68), then turn on the vacuum fan and the dust control system by pressing
the upper part of the switch (68) after shaking has completed.
While working, repeat the procedure every 10 minutes on average (depending on the dustiness of the area to be cleaned).
NOTE
This operation can be performed even when the machine is moving.
CAUTION!
When the dust filter is clogged and/or the hopper is full, the machine cannot collect dust and debris anymore.
8. Check behind the machine occasionally to make sure that the machine is picking up debris. Dirt left behind in the path of the
machine usually indicates that the machine is moving too fast, the main broom needs to be adjusted, or the hopper (47) is full.
The hopper (47) should be emptied after each working cycle and whenever it is full (see the procedure in the following
paragraph).
