it out and ensure optimal cleaning efficiency. (Exception:
during the first week when breaking in a new machine,
vibrate the dust filter every 15 minutes). Park the machine,
and turn off side brooms and main brush during this
operation.
10. In order to prolong the life of the side brooms, do not
run them unless you are sweeping along a wall or other
large obstacle. The main brush and vac will be sufficient
for cleaning large open areas.
11. If you stop the machine during cleaning, immediately
turn off the main brush and side brooms. Allowing them to
continue to run while machine is stationary could abrade
floors and wear down the brushes.
12. Push the pedal to raise the dust board when sweeping
up debris larger than 2” in height (leaves, crushed pop
cans, paper, etc.). Important: Do not attempt to run the
sweeper over immovable obstacles higher than 2”.
13. If excessive dust is generated duringsweeping (even
after the filter has been vibrated and cleaned), turn on the
dust suppression system which will spraywater around the
side broomsto help reduce dust.
14. While sweeping, periodically check to see if the dust
bin is full, and dump it if necessary. Always empty the dust
bin when finished sweeping.
15. To dump the dust bin, unlatch it in back, pull up handle,
and slide bin out of housing. Takedust bin to trash container
and shake or vac out. Do not blowor hose out. Replace dust
bin and slide forward until the rear edge meets the hook and
seals properly. Relatch. (See “Maintenance – Dust Bin” for
details).
16. When finished sweeping, raise the side brooms and
turn off the main brush and vac. Always store the machine
with brushes raised, as this will prolong their usefulness.
17. Follow routine daily maintenance procedures after
using the machine.
Important: Maintenance, overhaul or repair work should
be done only by a trained professional or an authorized
service center.
Warning: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect the battery
cables before performing any electrical maintenance.
Maintenance –Side Brooms
Before and after using the sweeper, inspect the side
brooms for wear. When the side brooms become worn, the
bristles will not properly make contact with the ground, and
your sweeper will not be able to clean properly.

Fury RSW55

6. Screw in the 3 bolts around the broom axle.
7. Follow the previous set of instructions for adjusting the
broom height.
Maintenance –Main Brush
When the main brush wears down, the bristles will not
properly make contact with the ground, and your sweeper
will not be able to clean properly. You will notice when it is
time to adjust the height of the main brush because the
sweeper will leave debris or lines of dust on the ground.
To adjust the main brush lower, please observe the
following procedures:
1. Important: Be sure power is off before performing any
maintenance on the machine!
2. Take off the cover panel on left side of machine near the
