OPERATION
SWEEPING AND BRUSH INFORMATION
Pick up oversized debris before sweeping. Flatten
or remove bulky cartons from aisles before
sweeping. Pick up pieces of wire, twine, string,
etc., which could become entangled in brush or
brush plugs.
Plan the sweeping in advance. Try to arrange long
runs with minimum stopping and starting. Sweep
debris from very narrow aisles into main aisles
ahead of time. Do an entire floor or section at one
time. Sweep as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
sweeper. Overlap the brush paths.
Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply when
the machine is in motion. The machine is very
responsive to the movement of the steering
wheel. Avoid sudden turns, except in
emergencies.
Use main brush II Speed when picking up light
litter. This will improve both litter pickup and
hopper loading. Do not use the II Speed speed
in dusty environments. The machine can dust and
clog the hopper dust filter. Operate the main brush
in the Normal position when picking up general
debris.
07817
For best results, use the correct brush type for
your sweeping application. The following are
recommendations for main and side brush
applications.
Polypropylene 8-double Row Main Brush –
Gives superior pickup of sand, gravel, and paper
litter. Retains its stiffness when wet, and can be
used indoor or out. Not recommended for
high-temperature debris.
Polypropylene and Wire 8-double Row Main
Brush – The wire bristles loosen slightly packed
soilage and heavier debris. The polypropylene
bristles sweep up the debris with excellent hopper
loading.

OPERATION
Crinkle Wire 8-double Row Main Brush – The
stiff wire bristles cut through compacted grime,
hard to sweep dirt, and dirt mixed with oil, grease,
or mud. This brush is recommended for foundry
sweeping where heat may melt synthetic bristles.
This brush has good hopper loading ability, but is
not recommended for dusty applications.
Nylon 24-row Main Brush – Recommended for
severe dust conditions on rough surfaces. This
brush has excellent pickup and long life.
Nylon Patrol Main Brush – Designed for
sweeping large indoor or outdoor areas at higher
speed. The patrol pattern gives excellent loading
of light bulky debris (leaves and paper), while the
nylon bristle gives long life.
Heavy Gauge Polypropylene 8-double Row
Main Brush – Designed for sweeping outdoor
areas. The stiffer bristles allow excellent loading
of heavier bulky debris (leaves and paper litter).
Polypropylene Side Brush – A good general
purpose brush for sweeping of light to medium
debris in both indoor and outdoor applications.
This brush is recommended when bristles may
get wet.
Nylon Side Brush – A longer life, general
purpose brush that is recommended for rough
surfaces.
Flat Wire Side Brush – Recommended for
outside and curb-side sweeping where soilage is
heavy or compacted. The stiff wire bristles dig out
soilage. This brush is also recommended for
foundry sweeping where heat may melt synthetic
bristles.

OPERATION
REGENERATIVE FILTER SYSTEM (RFS)
The Regenerative Filter System (RFS) is an
option that alternately turns on the filter shaker
motors when the filters need cleaning because of
a build–up of dust or debris.
Normally the RFS does not require the operator to
stop the machine to shake the filters during
sweeping operation (except in extreme and
severe dust environments). However, it is
recommended that the filters are shaken at the
operator’s initiative each time the hopper is
dumped. This can be accomplished during transit
to a dump sight. AVOID shaking the filters while
hopper is in a rolled out position. To initiate a
shaking cycle, press the filter button on the
instrument panel. See FILTER SHAKER
SWITCH.
In very severe dust environments, the plugged
filter indicator on the instrument panel may remain
lit. When this occurs, it is recommended that the
operator stop the machine and initiate one or two
shake cycles to clear a possible plugged filter
condition. After shaking, roll the hopper out to
evacuate the dust tray. Resume sweeping
operation.
If the hopper is over full, the light may come on.
Check the hopper load and dump if necessary.
If the filter light remains on after all the above
conditions are corrected, the filters may be
plugged or the RFS may be inoperative. Filters
may be shaken by the operator initiative by
pressing the filter button on the instrument panel if
there is a failure in the RFS control system.
Successful operation of the RFS option requires
clean, undamaged filters. Plugged filters may
cause the RFS to cycle continuously even at start
up. The option also requires good sealing of the
upper lid to the hopper, as well as a good seal
between the two upper filter chambers.
It is recommended that the machine be driven for
some test sweeping with the RFS option at initial
start up. This next step assumes the hopper cover
and upper filter chamber of the hopper was
cleaned thoroughly prior to installation of the RFS
option. Sweep for 30 minutes and open the
hopper cover to check the integrity of the seals.
Look at the top of the shaker panels and the
underside of the hopper cover. Check for any
signs of dust tracking that may be caused by a
bad seal or filter. Repair a necessary. Perform this
check periodically while using the sweeper with
the RFS option.

MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The quality and condition of the hydraulic fluid
play a very important role in how well the machine
operates. TENNANT’s hydraulic fluid is specially
selected to meet the needs of TENNANT
machines.
TENNANT’s hydraulic fluids provide a longer life
for the hydraulic components. There are two fluids
available for different temperature ranges:
TENNANT part no.
65869
65870
Ambient Temperature
above 7 C (45 F)
below 7 C (45 F)
The higher temperature fluid has a higher
viscosity and should not be used at the lower
temperatures. Damage to the hydraulic pumps
may occur because of improper lubrication.
The lower temperature fluid is a thinner fluid for
colder temperatures.
If a locally-available hydraulic fluid is used, make
sure the specifications match TENNANT hydraulic
fluid specifications. Using substitute fluids can
cause premature failure of hydraulic components.
European marketed machines are filled with
locally available hydraulic fluids. Check the label
on the hydraulic fluid reservoir.
ATTENTION! Hydraulic components depend
on system hydraulic fluid for internal
lubrication. Malfunctions, accelerated wear,
and damage will result if dirt or other
contaminants enter the hydraulic system.
HYDRAULIC HOSES
Check the hydraulic hoses every 800 hours of
operation for wear or damage.
Fluid escaping at high pressure from a very small
hole can be almost invisible, and can cause
serious injuries.
See a doctor at once if injury results from
escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment
is not given immediately.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, use
cardboard to locate leaking hydraulic fluid
under pressure.
00002
If you discover a fluid leak, contact your
mechanic/supervisor.

enough torque to align the slotted nut and the
shaft hole after the first 50-hours of operation, and
every 800 hours there after.
ENGINE
COOLING SYSTEM
Check the radiator coolant every 100 hours of
operation. Use clean water mixed with a
permanent-type, ethylene glycol antifreeze to a
–34 C (–30 F) rating. The coolant level should
be 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) below the filler opening.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, avoid
contact with hot engine coolant.
ATTENTION! Never pour cold water or cold
antifreeze into the radiator of an overheated
engine. Allow the engine to cool down to
avoid cracking the cylinder head or block.
Keep the engine running while adding water.
08432
Clean the radiator screen every 100 hours of
operation.
Check the radiator hoses and clamps every
200 hours of operation. Tighten the clamps if they
are loose. Replace the hoses and clamps if the
hoses are cracked, harden, or swollen.
08582
Check the radiator core exterior and hydraulic
cooler fins for debris every 100 hours of
operation. Blow or rinse all dust, which may have
collected on the radiator, in through the grille and
radiator fins, opposite the direction of normal air
flow. The grille and hydraulic cooler open for
easier cleaning. Be careful not to bend the cooling
fins when cleaning. Clean thoroughly to prevent
the fins becoming encrusted with dust. Clean the
radiator and cooler only after the radiator has
cooled to avoid cracking.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
eye and ear protection when using
pressurized air or water.

AIR FILTER INDICATOR
The air filter indicator shows when to clean or
replace the air filter element. Check the indicator
daily. The indicator’s red line will move as the air
filter element fills with dirt. Do not clean or replace
the air filter element until the red line reaches 5
kPa (20 in H2O) and the ”SERVICE WHEN RED”
window is filled with red. The indicator’s red line
may return to a lower reading on the scale when
the engine shuts off. The red line will return to a
correct reading after the engine runs for a while.
Reset the air filter indicator by pushing the reset
button on the end of the indicator after cleaning or
replacing the air filter element.
08447
AIR FILTER
The engine air filter housing has a dust cap and a
dry cartridge-type air filter element. Empty the
dust cap daily. The air filter must be replaced
whenever the filter element is damaged or has
been cleaned three times.
Machines with the heavy duty SE air filter option
have a safety element. It is inside the standard
element. Replace this element, do not clean it,
after the regular element has been damaged or
cleaned three times.
08455
Install the dust cap on the air filter housing with
the arrows pointing up.
Service the air filter element only when the air
filter indicator shows restriction in the air intake
system. Do not remove the air filter element from
the housing unless it is restricting air flow.
Using an air hose, direct clean dry air, maximum
205 kPa (30 psi), up and down the pleats on the
inside of the element. Do not rap, tap or pound
dust out of the element.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
eye and ear protection when using
pressurized air or water.
