3.3 Functional description
The Fit R-300 system consists of a drive unit, corner wheels, scrapers, a cable
and a control panel.
The system operates by means of a control panel which powers the drive unit
motor(s) upon command. Subsequently, the scrapers move in the alleys as they
are linked together by a cable which ties to the drive unit drum. As the drive unit
operates, one scraper moves forward while the other moves backwards. When
a scraper reaches the cross gutter, the system operates in opposite motion.
