297 RIDER SWEEPER

THE TOMCAT 297 RIDER SWEEPER ISCOMPACT, BUT BUILT TOUGH, SO IT SHOULD BE WORKING

YEARS FROM NOW, EVEN IN ABUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS. WITH AWIDTH OF ONLY 29" IT EASILY

PASSES THROUGH 32" DOORS, AND ELEVATORS ARE NOT APROBLEM DUE TO ITS 59" LENGTH.

DEBRIS ON THE FLOOR LIKE WOOD CHIPS, CARPETING LINT, POPCORN, LEAVES, METAL PIECES,

BROKEN GLASS, SAND, AND FINE CONCRETE DUST ARE PICKED UP IN A SINGLE PASS. THE

MATERIAL IS SWEPT UP BY THE POWERFUL MAIN BROOM, AND THROWN INTO THE RUGGED

HOPPER. THE HOPPER SLIDES OUT THE SIDE OF THE MACHINE FOR EASY DISPOSAL OF DEBRIS

WHEN ITS FULL.

OUR "ONE TOUCH SWEEPING" AND CENTRAL COMMAND II KEEP THE MAIN BROOM'S PRESSURE

AT ONE OF FIVE SETTINGS, SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO ADJUST OR REVERSE IT, AND THE BROOM

AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS TO IRREGULAR FLOORS.

THE DUST CONTROL ON THE TOMCAT 297 IS THE INDUSTRIES BEST. OUR EXCLUSIVE "BAGHOUSE"

STYLE FILTER ENABLES THE MACHINE TO SWEEP THROUGH AN 80 POUND BAG OF CEMENT

POWDER AND NOT BLOW DUST. THE FILTER'S HIGH CAPACITY DESIGN IS SIMILAR TO THE DUST

COLLECTION SYSTEM ON STREETSWEEPERS, NOT VACUUM CLEANERS.

OUR 250 CFM FAN MOVES HIGH VOLUMES OF AIR, BUT AT A LOWER VELOCITY. THIS ALLOWS

EXCELLENT DUST CONTROL, EVEN WITH A "DIRTY FILTER". THE LINT FROM CARPETING OR TENNIS

COURTS IS EASILY CONTAINED IN THE LONG LIFE FILTER. THE FILTER IS CLEANED AT THE TOUCH OF

A BUTTON, AND THE DUST IS EASILY REMOVED IN A SEPARATE SLIDING DRAWER.

THE TOMCAT 297 HAS A POWERFUL 2.0 HP SEALED DRIVE MOTOR FOR CLIMBING STEEP RAMPS,

AND THE AVAILABLE NON-MARKING TIRES PROTECT EXPENSIVE FLOORS. THE OPERATOR'S HIGH

BACK SEAT INCLUDES ARMREST, IS ADJUSTABLE, AND THE PARKING BRAKE SETS AUTOMATICALLY.

THE UNIT IS BATTERY POWERD, AND WILL RUN UP TO A FULL SHIFT ON A CHARGE. THE CHARGER IS

FULLY AUTOMATIC, AND PLUGS INTO 110 VOLT OUTLET (USA).

CONNECTED TO THE BATTERIES. LOCATE ANY

LOOSE ONES AND TIGHTEN WITH 9/16" WRENCH.

(SEE FIG. 7)

4. TURN ON MAIN POWER SWITCH AND CHECK

THE BATTERY CONDITION METER TO ENSURE

CORRECT INSTALLATION. CHARGE BATTERIES IF

NEEDED. (SEE: BATTERY CHARGING)

PAGE 9

2. REMOVE THE SIDE BROOMS FROM THE

SHIPPING BOX.

UNTIL YOU FEEL IT CATCH ON THE DRIVER AND THEN

PRESS IT COMPLETELY ON. (SEE FIGURE 12.)

4. WITH THE MAIN BROOM COMPLETELY INSTALLED,

REPLACE THE IDLER ARM AND THE FASTENERS.

THE ARM SHOULD GO ON EASILY, AND METAL

TO METAL. IF THERE IS ANY GAPS LEFT BEFORE

TIGHTENING, IT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED

PROPERLY. (SEE FIGURE 13.)

NOTE: SELECT THE BROOM FIBER THAT BEST MEETS YOUR CLEANING APPLICATION

CONSULT YOUR LOCAL CEALER FOR ASSISTANCE.

(SEE BRUSH TYPES ON PAGE 4.)

WARNING: IF THE BROOM IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED

WITH THE DRIVERS, THE BRUSHES WILL

BE DAMAGED. DO NOT FORCE THE

IDLER ARM BACK ON. THIS USUALLY

INDICATES IMPROPER INSTALLATION

OPERATION

OPERATING HINTS

1. OBSERVE THE SPEED OF THE MACHINE AND

ADJUST TO THE DESIRED RATE. TO INCREASE THE

SPEED, DEPRESS THE FOOTPEDAL MORE. TO

STOP THE MACHINE, LET OFF THE FOOTPEDAL

AND THE BRAKE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE APPLIED.

2. KEEP AN EYE ON THE VACUUM MOTOR TO

MAKE SURE THERE IS NO DUST BLOW-THRU. IF

DUST BEGINS TO DEVELOP, THE FILTER SHOULD

BE CLEANED. PRESS THE FILTER SHAKER SWITCH

TO CLEAN THE FILTER.

3. ALWAYS OPERATE AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN

SWEEPING AROUND WALLS AND OBJECTS. YOU

SHOULD REDUCE THE SPEED, TO MAINTAIN

CONTROL WHEN TURNING.

4. IF THE MACHINE STARTS TO TRAIL, STOP AND

EMPTY THE HOPPER. IF THE TRAILING DEBRIS

CONTINUIES, YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE

SKIRTS THAT SURROUND THE SWEEPING CHAMBER.

5. CHANGE THE BRUSHES WHEN WORN TO A FIBER

LENGTH OF 1 INCH.

6. STAY CLEAR OF OBJECTS PROTRUDING FROM THE

FLOOR, SUCH AS ELECTRICAL SOCKETS, AND PIPES,

FOR THEY CAN DAMAGE THE LOWER SKIRTS AND BE

DANGEROUS.

7. YOU SHOULD TRY TO AVOID WATER, OIL AND,

OTHER LIQUIDS SPILLED ON THE FLOOR. BE SURE

TO USE THE WET SWEEP BY-PASS WHEN SMALL

AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE ARE ENCOUNTERED.

8. ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GAUGES. THEY

ARE THERE TO HELP YOU CLEAN MORE

EFFICIENTLY, BY LETTING YOU KNOW THE STATUS

OF THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM AT A GLANCE. IF

YOUR BATTERY GAUGE IS READING LOW, YOU

MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY, AND RECHARGE.

RUNNING THE BATTERY DEAD, WILL RESULT IN

DAMAGE TO THE BATTERIES.

9. KEEPING THE EXTERIOR APPERANCE OF THE

MACHINE IN GOOD CONDITION, WILL

GENERALLY ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO TREAT THE

MACHINE WITH MORE CARE.

10. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO STOP, PICK UP THE

BROOMS, DRIVE THE MACHINE BACK TO THE

CHARGING AREA AND BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE

POWER SWITCH. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE HOPPER

AND CLEAN THE FILTER BEFORE STORING.

7. TO STOP THE MACHINE, LET OFF OF THE FOOT

PEDAL, AND THE MACHINE WILL STOP

AUTOMATICALLY.

ONE PASS SWEEPING

1. TURN MACHINE ON WITH THE KEYSWITCH.

2. TURN ON THE FILTER BEATER FOR ABOUT TEN

SECONDS TO CLEAR THE FILTER.

3. PUSH THE GREEN ONE TOUCH BUTTON.

(SEE FIGURE 20.)

4. BEGIN SWEEPING BY DEPRESSING THE FOOT

PEDAL SLOWLY AND THEN TO THE SPEED

REQUIRED.

5. ONCE THE MAIN BROOM BEGINS TO MOVE,

CHECK THE PRESSURE GAUGE. (SEE FIGURE 21.)

6. TO OPERATE MACHINE IN REVERSE, SIMPLY

SWITCH THE REVERSE SWITCH TO THE REVERSE

POSITION. (SEE FIGURE 22.)

(FIGURE 21.)

CHARGER WITH THIS MACHINE.

CHARGER

SPECIFICATIONS

OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF 24 VOLTS.

OUTPUT CURRENT OF 36 AMPS MAX.

INPUT VOLTAGE OF 110 VOLTS/60 Hz.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF CIRCUIT.

MADE FOR DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES.

DANGER: ALWAYS CHARGE BATTERIES IN A WELL

VENTILATED AREA. BATTERIES EMIT HYDROGEN

4. CHECK THE WATER LEVEL IN EACH BATTERY.

DO NOT CHARGE THE MACHINE UNLESS THE

WATER IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE PLATES. IF

NEEDED, ADD ENOUGH DISTILLED WATER TO JUST

SLIGHTLY COVER THE PLATES. DO NOT OVER FILL.

BATTERIES CAN OVERFLOW DURING CHARGING.

REPLACE CAPS BEFORE CHARGING.

5. WITH THE RED CHARGER PLUG DISCONNECTED

FROM THE MACHINE, PLUG THE CHARGER

LOOSE NUTS AND BOLTS

YEARLY

MAINTENANCE

1. CALL YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR YEARLY MAINTENACE.

STORING MACHINE

1. BE SURE TO CLEAN FILTER

2. EMPTY HOPPER INTO TRASH RECEPTICALE.

3. RAISE MAIN BROOM AND SIDE BROOMS.

NOTE: IF YOU LEAVE BROOMS DOWN ON

FLOOR FOR EXTENDED PERIOD WHILE

MACHINE IS NOT IN USE THEY WILL

DEVELOP FLAT SPOTS.

THIS WILL CAUSE " BROOM BOUNCE"

AND BAD SWEEPING, AND CAN WEAR

OUT THE BELT TENSIONING MECHANISIM.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. CLEAN THE FILTER WITH THE SHAKER SWITCH FOR

20 SECONDS.

2. REMOVE AND CLEAN DEBRIS FROM THE HOPPER

AND RINSE OUT IF NECESSARY.

3. CHARGE THE MACHINE WITH THE HOOD OPEN

TO ALLOW THE BATTERIES TO VENTILATE PROPERLY.

5. WIPE DOWN MACHINE IF NEEDED. USE A

NONABRASIVE, NON SOLVENT CLEANER, OR A

CLEAN DAMP CLOTH.

6. RECHARGE THE BATTERIES IF NEEDED.

WEEKLY

MAINTENANCE

1. CHECK BATTERY WATER LEVEL.

2. CHECK CONDITION OF ALL THREE TIRES.

3. CHECK CONDITION OF DUST CURTAINS ON SHROUD.

4. CHECK CONDITION OF DUST CURTAIN ON WALLS.

5. CHECK TO SEE IF VACUUM EXHAUST IS CLEAR.
