GENERAL CAUTIONS
This machine is designed as a high performance, high capacity sweeper that can clean in tight and congested areas.
By design this means a narrow wheel base with tight steering capability.
These design requirements can under certain conditions create instability during machine operation.
Instability can be caused by a combination of machine travel speed, abrupt maneuvering, operation on an incline, low tire pressure,
weight in the hopper and or raised hopper.
For this reason the machine must be driven by a qualifi ed operator who must be properly instructed on how to use it and be aware
of the potential risks.
The following are situations known to cause instability in the machine and care should be taken by the operator to assure safe
operation:

The following are situations known to cause instability in the machine and care should be taken by the operator to assure safe
operation:
Lifting the hopper on an incline
Maneuvering the machine with the hopper lifted
Abrupt steering
Maneuvering with speed, on a slope and/or with weight in the hopper
Low tire pressure
Maneuvering the machine with the hopper lifted
Abrupt steering
Maneuvering with speed, on a slope and/or with weight in the hopper
Low tire pressure
Inside the cab there is a decal (19, Fig. E) that warns the operator of the risk of instability and provides information on activities to
avoid to prevent machine instability (see picture).

BEFORE START-UP
If necessary, open the right upper lid (28, Fig. G) by releasing the fasteners (29) with the supplied key, and refuel the machine
through the fi ller neck (10, Fig. F).

Check the dust control system water level through the indicator (42, Fig. F). If necessary, supply water according to the
following procedure:
following procedure:
Disengage the fasteners (10, Fig. G) with the supplied key, then open the left lid (9).
Pour the water in the tanks through the plug (30, Fig. F), or the hose (29).
Close the plug (30), or roll up the hose (29) and place it back in its housing.
Close the lid (9, Fig. G) and secure it with the fasteners (10) by using the supplied key.
