OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO START MACHINE
Turn key to “I” position.
TO TRANSPORT MACHINE
1. Make sure the brushes and squeegees are in the up or raised position with all other controls in the off
position.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Push the forward/reverse switch to desired position (up for forward and down for reverse)
4. Push down on the foot throttle to obtain desired travel speed.
5. Release the foot throttle to slow down or stop when on a flat surface. To slow the machine when
decending down an inclined surface reduce foot pedal pressure.
NOTE
The pedal proportional braking sytem is designed to regulate machine speed according to the foot thottle
position. This sytem is designed to bring the machine to a stop in controlled manner. When driving down an
inclined surface, reduce foot pedal pressure rather than releasing the foot throttle. This will provide a controlled
stop and prevent the drive wheel from locking.
WARNING
Do not turn the steering wheel sharply when the machine is in motion. The sweeper is very
responsive to movement of the steering wheel. Do not make sudden turns.
