V. Operation
1. The operator should use the sweeper under normal operation and consider the
surrounding environment when operating; be cautious of people around the sweeper
and objects that may unintentionally sweep in an outward direction.
2. Depending upon the service the operator intends to sweep you can adjust the best
height of the front and back brushes. The higher the brushes the less pressure on the
surface. A higher brush may be less effective but will increase the longevity of the
brush. The lower settings of the brush will be more effective at sweeping but harder
to push and decrease the longevity of the brush.
3. If Debris is not going into the sweeper. Try sweeping quickly with some force over
the debris pile to push the trash into the sweeper trash bin. Note: Do not backup
the sweeper it will not properly collect trash in the reverse direction

VI. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Cleaning the machine
-Always clean, dust off and clear debris from the sweeper
-Do not use any grease solvents, pressure washer for cleaning the sweeper.
-Wear safety gear when cleaning to reduce the risk of injury.
-Store the machine in a safe and dry area.
Maintenance
Problem: If there is a Clog.
Solution: If one of the side brooms or the roller brush becomes blocked, stop work,
and remove the blockage. Wear work gloves to reduce the risk of cuts or injuries
from sharp objects.
Problem: If debris comes from the sides
Solution: Continue pushing the sweeper for a brief period, lift the sweeper up at the
front (front wheels up doing a wheelie) so that dirt falls to the back of the trash bin
hopper. This helps make better use of the hopper's full capacity. When sweeping
heavy material, ex: gravel, loose chippings, nails the sweeper's center of gravity
shifts to the rear. This tends to lift the side brooms away from the surface and
reduce cleaning efficiency. Adjust the side brooms downward accordingly.
