1. The forklift forks must be centered and positioned with approximately a 25mm (1 in.) space between the forks.

2. Position and level the forks so that they are in line with the inlet of the sweeper mounting tube.

3. Drive the forklift slowly forward so that the forks slide easily into the sweeper mounting tube. If there is any resistance when sliding the forks into the tube, or there is a tendency to push the sweeper out of position, stop the forklift and reposition the forks so that they slide easily into the mounting tube.

4. Stop the forward movement of the forklift when the two vertical plates on the sweeper mounting tube contact the fork mounting rack of the forklift.

5. Lower forks until they lay flat on the bottom of the sweeper mounting tube.

6. Position the horizontal pin into the lowest hole possible, above the forklift forks as shown. If the pin does not slide easily over the forks, use the next higher hole position. Lock pin in position by inserting hair spring pins.

ATTACHING THE SWEEPER TO THE FORKLIFT

NOTE: Do not use this sweeper on forklifts with forks that are more than 1219mm (48 in.) long.

FOR SAFETY: When not in use, thesweeper must be stored on a flat, level surface. The wheels must be chocked to prevent movement of the sweeper.

NOTE: If the sweeper is being installed on a different forklift than the forklift previously used, reposition the horizontal pin into thehighest hole in the mounting tube as shown.

GENERAL SWEEPING AND BRUSH INFORMATION

Pick up oversized debris before sweeping. Flatten or remove large boxes from aisles before sweeping. Pick up long pieces of wire, string, twine, etc., which can become entangled in the brooms or broom hubs.

For the most efficient operation, plan your sweeping in advance. Arrange long runs with a minimum of stopping and starting. Move debris from areas where the sweeper cannot go, into larger aisles ahead of time. Sweep an entire floor or section at one time. Overlap the sweeping paths. Avoid hitting posts or scraping walls.

Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply when the machine is in motion. The sweeper is very responsive to the movement of the steering wheel. Avoid sudden turns, except in emergencies.

It is not necessary to push the sweeper at high speed. The sweeper is designed to sweep with maximum efficiency when driven at 2-3 mph, the speed of a brisk walk.

For the best sweeping results, use the correct broom type for your sweeping application. Chose your sweeping brooms from the following list of brooms and applications:

Poly & wire 6-double row main broomThis broom is ideal for most applications. The wire bristles loosen lightly compacted debris. The polypropylene bristles sweep general debris with excellent hopper loading.

Nylon 6-double row main broomThis broom is good for general sweeping. The nylon bristles have the longest life of the various bristle types. This broom provides good hopper loading.

High density nylon 18-row main broomThis broom is good for heavy dust conditions on rough surfaces. This broom provides good pick and excellent life.

Stiff poly & wire 6-row main broomThis broom is good for heavier compacted debris. The wire bristles loosen compacted debris. The polypropylene bristles sweep general debris with excellent hopper loading.

Poly side broomThis side broom is ideal for most applications, including light to medium debris in both indoor and outdoor applications.

Nylon side broomA longer life, general purpose broom, recommended for rough surfaces.

OPERATION

1. Raise the sweeper only high enough to clear the ground and drive slowly to the sweeping area.

FOR SAFETY: Do not raise the sweeper off of the ground unless the body of the sweeper is in line and centered with the fork tube.

Note: Raise the sweeper off of the ground before driving the forklift in reverse. Attempting to drive the forklift in reverse with the sweeper on the ground may result in damage to the sweeper.

2. Slowly lower the sweeper to the ground.

3. Tilt the forklift forks until the body of the sweeper is level (parallel to the ground).

“QUICK LEVEL”

“Quick level” is a simple method for leveling the sweeper. To “quick level” the sweeper, check the positions of the sides brooms and the rear skirt.

The side brooms should have correct contact the ground (not lifted off the ground or pushed into the ground).

“Quick level” allows the operator to adjust the tilt of the sweeper, even while sweeping, from the operator position.

After the initial adjustment, simply check the rear skirt and adjust the fork height as necessary.

4. Adjust main broom and sidebroom.

NOTE: In order for “quick level “to be effective, the side brooms and rear skirt must be properly adjusted.
