MACHINE PREPARATION
YOUR MPV-60 SWEEPER HAS BEEN SHIPPED COMPLETE, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WITH-
OUT READINGAND FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
PREPARATION
1. Uncrate the sweeper and carefully remove packing material.
2. Inspect the battery connections.
3. Fill fuel tank with appropriate fuel.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury. Never fill fuel tank while engine is running. Always be sure gasoline container and
sweeper are electrically connected prior to pouring fuel. This can easily be done by providing an insulated wire
(permanently attached to the container) with a battery clip attached to the other end.
4. Check engine crankcase oil level before starting engine.
5. Check radiator coolant level. Permanent type antifreeze is added at the factory to provide protection
to approximately -35° F (-37° C). To retain this level of protection always add ½ part water to ½
part antifreeze.
6. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir which is located in the engine compartment. The hydraulic
reservoir is full when oil can be seen in the sight glass on the side of the reservoir. To get an
accurate reading the hopper must be in the “DOWN” position. If oil is required add
HYDRAULIC FLUID ONLY. Use Ford Automatic Transmission Fluid Type “F”.
