HOPPER
The hopper houses the debris compartment, the dust control filter and the removable dust baffle. For
maximum performance and service life, keep the hopper clean and inspect the seals and flaps daily.  Clean
the hopper prior to parking the sweeper at the end of the day. A clean hopper will make inspecting the flaps
and seals much easier and will prevent premature deterioration of hopper components. Do not leave the hopper
full of debris while in storage or when parked for extended periods of time
CLEANING THE HOPPER
Once the hopper has been emptied the insides of the hopper should be rinsed out with water.
AJDUSTING THE HOPPER SWITCH
With hopper fully closed and seated and bolt loose, rotate the bracket clockwise until the switch clicks.
Retighten bolt.  (See Figure 30).
DUST CONTROL FILTER
The dust control filter should be checked daily for damage and cleaned if necessary. A damaged filter must be
replaced to prevent damage to other dust control system components. Inspect the filter for tears in the filter
media or excessive dirt lodged in the pleats. A tear in the filter media will allow dirt to pass through the filter
and can be easily seen as a dirty patch on the top side on the filter. Cleaning of the filter is necessary when
the filter shaker fails to adequately clean the pleats.
CHECKING THE DUST CONTROL FILTER
1.
Park the machine on a smooth level surface, turn the key switch to the “O” position and engage the
parking brake.
2.
Raise the hopper lid for access to the filter compartment.
3.
Turn the filter latch, lift the filter frame and remove the filter.
4.
Inspect the panel filter for tears and clean or replace if necessary.
5.
Reinstall the filter, lower the filter frame and engage the filter latch.
6.
Close the hopper cover.
CLEANING THE DUST CONTROL FILTER
Clean the dust control filter when the shaker fails to adequately clear the filter. The filter can be cleaned with
compressed air not to exceed 100 PSI.
To clean the filter with compressed air, apply the compressed air to the top side of the panel to back flush the
lodged dirt from the filter pleats. Be careful to not damage the filter media while cleaning. The filter can be
cleaned with a solution of soap and water. If this cleaning method is used do not use the filter until it has
completely dried.
