DuraSweeper®
Ejected Material and Clear Lane
The volume of material to be removed can be signicant. There are two critical factors to successful
placement of the DuraSweeper® at your location:
1. Having adequate space and means to remove the snow from the clear lane.
2. Working WITH the prevailing wind for storms in your area. Make sure when placing the
DuraSweeper®that the blowing wind will work WITH the action of the brush to blow the snow
away from the truck, the clear lane and the electrical panel.
Ejected material must not be allowed to accumulate in the vehicle lane beyond 4" of packed snow or
trucks will not pass. Prevailing wind conditions during snow season should be considered to maximize
the distance with which the material can be ejected. We recommend allowing 30’ minimum distance to
the side where the ejected snow accumulates in order to keep the drive lane clear.
The clear lane is dened as a straight and centered lane that the vehicle may approach, engage, and
leave the equipment on a straight and centered path. The material of the clear lane is not critical to the
installation and operation of the equipment. We recommend 74’ clear lane both before and after the
placement of the DuraSweeper®to allow for a standard tractor trailer entering the DuraSweeper®station
in a straight line. If you have longer trailers or double trailers, please allow additional space.
NOTICE
Material accumulation in the clear lane can cause damage to the equipment or create fault
conditions where vehicles cannot pass under brush with proper clearance and remain level.

Tools and Equipment
The proper tools and equipment for installation and maintenance include, but are not limited to,
the following items:
• Large wrench or socket set
• Hammer drill
• Concrete bit (wedge anchor required diameter and length)
• Rubber mallet
• Lifting straps
• Crane/fork truck, or Skyboom with 8,000 lb. capacity
• Small wrench or socket set
• Small hex wrench set
Bluff provides wiring from the panel to the drives in accordance with National Electrical Code. Local or
state code may vary. Please consult a licensed electrician and the regulations in your area to determine
and source appropriate wiring, conduit, insulation and/or process required for your area.
Site Location Requirements - Portable Model
Please read entire pre-installation manual before proceeding.
The rst step in the pre planning process is to determine the best orientation of the unit for your site.
The orientation of the unit determines the material ejection direction. Unit orientations are dened in
the gures below. The standard orientation ejects material away from the operator. The non-standard
orientation, while not ideal, can be used. For portable units Bluff recommends placing four additional
ecology blocks at the entrance and exit (for a total of six blocks) to prevent damage from vehicles.

The rst step in the pre planning process is to determine the best orientation of the unit for your site.
The orientation of the unit determines the material ejection direction. Unit orientations are dened in
the gures below. The standard orientation ejects material away from the operator. The non-standard
orientation, while not ideal, can be used. For permanent units Bluff recommends installing four Bluff
bollards at the entrance and exit to prevent damage from vehicles. We also recommend two additional
bollards to protect the electrical panel.
NOTICE
On a permanent model, orientation cannot be changed without a full reinstall. Please contact
your Bluff Manufacturing dealer or Bluff directly concerning switching unit orientation.

DuraSweeper®
Pad Suggestion for Permanent Installation
The concrete foundation pad for the structure is the most important structural preparation for the Bluff
DuraSweeper®. The suggested pads detailed in the following gures may not be sufcient for all site
locations, so check with your concrete engineer for proper depth, structure, and grade for your site
location.
Concrete pad should be poured by qualied personnel under the direction of properly trained
and qualied supervision. Failure to do so could result in pad failure that could cause serious
injury, death, and catastrophic damage to the equipment.
The pads for each permanently installed column are expected to be level and on-plane to each other.
Some variations may be overcome with shims under the column bases.
Concrete should meet all recommendations of the latest ACI 318 code, particularly with regard to cold-
weather pouring of concrete.
Note: Concrete piers can be used in place of concrete pads. Contact Bluff for additional information.
!DANGER

12
DuraSweeper®
Suggested Concrete Pad Specication - Permanent Model Standard Layout
Concrete pads should be at a minimum 6 inch depth and have a minimum compressive strength of
3,000 lb. Wedge anchors require a minimum embedment depth of 3.375 inches. The minimum pad foot
prints are shown in the Standard Concrete Layout and Non-Standard Concrete Layout. Edge of bollard
base plate should be recessed from all pad edges by at least 6".
Note: Concrete piers can be used in place of concrete pads. Contact Bluff for additional information.

DuraSweeper®
Recommended Safety Barrier Equipment
Bluff Manufacturing recommends you protect your investment in the DuraSweeper®with bollards
or similar safety barrier equipment to prevent possible damage to all the components of the
DuraSweeper®, as well as the electrical panel. Below is a view of our suggestion for that protection. If
you need assistance to obtain the bollards, please contact your Bluff dealer for a quote.
The electrical panel should be secured and cables should be protected from vehicle damage. Power
to the electrical panel should be protected from foot, vehicular, and environmental wear in the best
manner the prevailing conditions on the site allow. While the electrical panel is rated for the cold and
weather, any additional protection provided should increase the working life of the equipment.

DuraSweeper®
NOTE: The Electrical Enclosure is designed and rated for the operation of the DuraSweeper®by Bluff.
It is not intended to supply power to additional add-ons (lights, for example). Nothing additional should
be wired from the electrical enclosure. See product specications for power requirements. The wiring
from the panel to the hoist and brush drive motors is supplied. The customer should comply with all
local electrical codes and regulations. All electrical installation should be performed by a licensed
electrician.
Pre-erection Assembly
The DuraSweeper®by Bluff ships as several pre-assembled components. Before attempting to
install any components, remove packaging and inspect components for any defects or damage.
Closely inspect wire rope and pulleys for defects or damage that might cause premature wear to the
components. Replace wire rope if any damage, kinks, crimps, fraying, loose strands, or broken strands
are found.
Installation Tips
• Installation site should be clear of debris and clutter - clear snow to surface.
• Make sure to plan the area so that there is plenty of room to maneuver the trucks through the unit
and plenty of space for the ejected snow.
Prevailing wind direction during snow season should be considered to maximize the distance
and direction the snow will be ejected.
• Carefully read and understand all sections of this manual before attempting the installation. The
pages listed below are also in the Pre-Installation Guide For Bluff DuraSweeper®:
- Ejected Material and Clear Lane
- Site Location Requirements – Portable Model
- Site Location Requirements – Permanent Model
- Pad Suggestion for Permanent Installation
- Suggested Concrete Pad Specication – Permanent Model Standard Layout
- Suggested Concrete Pad Specication – Permanent Model Non-standard Layout
- Recommended Safety Barrier Equipment
• These installation instructions describe a typical installation for a portable or a permanently installed
unit. There may be installations that require special requirements not covered in this manual. Contact
Bluff Manufacturing in those cases.
• When assemblies involve an array of bolts, it is always good practice to install and snug all the bolts
before fully tightening any of them. Tightening each bolt as it is installed will result in difculties
during the installation.
