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 qualified 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:
– 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
Inside the cab there is a label (33, Fig. E) that warns the operator of the risk of instability and provides information on activities to
avoid to prevent machine instability (see picture).
