SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT

1. Park the sweeper.

2. Use the Engine Throttle Control (53, Figure

O-2) to set engine speed to idle (about 1000

RPM).

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Stop rotation of the conveyor by using the

Conveyor Rotate switch (49, Figure O-1).

5. As necessary, stop rotation of the brooms by

using the Broom Rotate switches (22, 27, 45).

6. Raise the side broom(s) by using the Broom

Height switches (26 and/or 46).

7. If the sweeper has standard main broom sus-

pension, use the MB / Conv Height switch (50)

to raise the main broom and conveyor.

If the sweeper has hydraulic main broom sus-

pension, use the CONV LOWER / MB/CONV

UP switch (47) to raise the main broom and

conveyor.

NOTICE

Before shutdown, the engine must be run at idle

speed (about 1000 RPM) for at least 2 minutes to

cool hot engine parts. Idling time lets the oil and

coolant cool the turbocharger, cylinders, bearings,

etc.

8. After the engine has idled long enough, use the

Ignition switch (23) to shut down the engine.

The length of time needed to cool the hot

engine parts depends on the air temperature

and the temperature of the engine when the

sweeper was parked.

AT END OF SHIFT

For continued high performance, the sweeper must

be thoroughly washed down at the end of each shift

by the procedure in the Maintenance section.
