4. TO SWEEP:
The side broom has to be on the floor.
Use right-hand lever to lower it. Pull lever back, then to left.
Single switch, controls main broom and side broom. On two switch models, use right hand switch for side broom.
5. DON'T RUN BATTERY
ALL THE WAY DOWN!!
The machine will begin to slow and a red light will come on when battery is about to go dead. When this happens, stop sweeping immediately, and go back to base to recharge. If battery runs down too low, the automatic on-board charger will not pick it up again unless you run the charge through two charge cycles.
6. TO RECHARGE:
Open the hood and plug in charger. A green light will turn on, when light turns off, battery is fully charged.
7. BATTERY NEEDS
WATER
.
Check battery water every two weeks.
Fill half-way to ring with distilled water. Do not overfill. Do not let acid spill on battery or on machine. If it does, flush with water, and sprinkle with baking soda on the spill.
PAGE 2
8. KEEP CRANK VERTICAL:
Before emptying hopper, turn crank fast 10 times. Crank must be vertical to open the hopper.
SHORT LIST OF DO'S AND DON'TS
10. SIDE BROOM ADJUSTMENT.
Very Important. Your side broom must not be squashed flat, but must look like this.
RIGHT!
The broom must be mounted in the top hole of the broom shaft, and the adjusting screw must be screwed in so broom just touches the floor in front.
WRONG!
If adjusted too flat, your machine's side broom will shut itself off periodically to cool down the motor. You will sweep poorly and severely damage the side broom.
11. GOTTA SWEEP GREAT.
No kidding. This is the world's best walk-behind sweeper. If your sweeper isn't sweeping just great, seems hard to use, or is making funny noises.....Something is Wrong. Here is what to do:
1. Read this book.
2. Call your dealer for info or service.
If you forgot your dealer's name, call the Factory toll free
800-634-4060, and we will give you his name and phone number.

HOW IT WORKS

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Main Broom, which is tubular in shape, and extends across width of machine, rotates in direction shown, pushing dirt and debris into hopper.
Side broom (when used) picks up dirt in corners and pushes it toward the middle of the machine where the main broom picks it up.
The main broom creates dust. The automatic vaccuum system sucks up this dust; then, the filter catches it.
The filter empties into the hopper. It is cleaned by turning the crank at the rear of the machine, which shakes the filter clean.
A drive system is provided. Pulling the lever on the handlebar operates a clutch wheel. The clutch wheel drives both rear wheels via a differential axle.
A parking brake is provided. It stops the clutch wheel from turning, which locks up both rear wheels.
Power for the main broom, vaccuum fan, and drive system all comes from a large electric motor. A second motor drives the side broom.
The battery must be recharged after extended use. It will run the machine for about 3-4.5 hours on a charge.
Remember that running the battery down too low will require recharging the battery twice to pick it back up again.

OPERATING TIPS
The machine can only pick up dirt when it runs over it. It can not pick up dirt while sitting still.
Some bulky articles are hard to pick up and require a lot of floor space in front of the article to give the main broom a chance to "grab" the item.
Sweeping smart means avoiding dead ends. If you have to back up the machine out of a corner, you will probably leave some dirt behind.
Slow down if the floor is very dirty, or if you notice the machine is not picking everything up. The machine can only transfer so many pounds of material per minute.
PAGE 5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ WARNINGS ON
PAGE TWO OF THIS MANUAL.
Refer to Page 4 for location of controls.
2.
To make the machine move under its own power - without sweeping:
-Turn on Main Switch
-Make sure both brooms are off ground.
(See Steps 5 & 6 Below)
-Gently pull clutch lever, on handle bar, towards you. You can regulate speed by varying how hard you pull on this lever.
3.
To Stop: Let go of the clutch lever.
To stop machine when going down hill, set parking brake, by pushing the clutch lever down and forward. This locks rear wheels.
4.
To Sweep: Main broom only.
Pull main broom lever to the right to lower broom to the floor. Broom will drop, causing lever to move toward front of machine
Note that the machine will not sweep unless broom is lowered to the ground.
5.
To Sweep: Main and side brooms.
Pull side broom lever to the left to lower brush to the floor. Broom will drop, causing lever to move toward front of machine.
Then turn on the side broom.
Operating Tip:
When side broom is in use, the broom should contact the floor from about
11
O'Clock until about 5 O'Clock.
(See Page 11 for illustration).
The adjuster is under the hood (lid) as shown.
(Page 4, Item 10). Turn the knob clockwise to raise the broom.
NOTE:
Side Broom does not work by itself. Main broom must be down if sweeper is to pick up anything.
PAGE 6
Clutch and Brake Lever
Stop (Brake)
Neutral
Forward
Pull the lever toward you to go forward. The harder you pull, the faster the machine will go.
Release the lever to coast to a stop.
Push this lever down towards the ground and then forward to engage the brake.
You do not normally need to use the brake to stop.
Always use the brake when you park the machine and pick the brooms up off of the floor to avoid "Flat Spotting" them.
Main Broom Control:
Broom Lowered
Up
Down
Broom Raised
Pull main broom lever toward you, and then toward the center of the machine. This releases the catch and permits the main broom to drop.
To bring the main broom back up again, pull lever from "Lock" position, into "Release" position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.
To Sweep a Wet Floor.
If you are going to sweep a wet surface, you should do so with the air system shut off.
Otherwise, the vaccuum fan will pull water into the filter, making it muddy and hard to clean.
To shut off the air to the filter, open the small door at the end of the back painted filter housing (Page 4, Item 12).
NOTE:
Remember to close the air shut-off door again, when you're back on dry pavement or you'll blow outdust wherever you sweep.
7.
To Unload Hopper.
When machine stops sweeping well, the hopper is full.
Turn off the machine. Then turn the shaker crank handle at the rear of the machine about ten times. The handle should then be left in the vertical position. This cleans the filter. Finally, pull the dirt hopper all the way out of the machine. It has a handle on each side.
When you put the hopper back, make sure crank handle is straight up and down - or the cleaning mechanism will prevent the hopper from sliding back in.
8.
Watch out for low battery.
NOTE: The Sweeper will shut itself off when the battery gets too low. Low voltage could otherwise damage the motors.
A red warning light (Page 4, Item 18) warns you just before battery is completely discharged.
Don't get caught with a dead battery. Return back to base for a recharge early. Batteries vary in their energy capacity. O.E.M batteries usually offer between three and five hours of service on a charge.
9.
Side Broom's Circuit Breaker.
If the side broom stops by itself, its protective circuit breaker has probably tripped. The usual reason for this is that the side broom is adjusted improperly and has too much down pressure.
Breaker will automatically reset. See Sidebroom
Adjustment in this book, Page 11.
To Remove The Dirt Hopper:
CRANK should be vertical before removing or replacing the hopper drawer. Otherwise, you may break the safety pin on the crank mechanism.

SAFETY TIP: Recharging
1. Always Turn Off Machine and Set
Parking Brake before Charging.
2. Always Leave the Hood (Lid)
Open.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10.
Recharging Battery.
Built-In Battery Charger.
If your machine is equipped with a built-in battery charger, simply turn off the machine, set the brake, open the hood (lid), and plug in the charger to a wall outlet with the correct voltage.
In North America, our chargers are usually equipped for a single phase 110V (60Hz) operation, the same power as used in houses.
The three prong plug requires a grounded outlet. Do not use without grounding.
The built-in charger is completely automatic.
Its electronic circuitry will tell it when the battery is charged, and shut itself off. After the battery achieves correct voltage, the charger will give a "polish" to the battery by shifting to high voltage input for a limited period of time.
The green light on the right hand side of the charging unit will glow when the charger is plugged in - provided that the charger is also plugged in properly. The green light will go out at the end of the charge cycle.
External Battery Charger.
If you use an external battery charger, unplug Andersen connector before beginning charge. Open hood and follow the charger instructions.
NOTE:
Some battery chargers are not automatic, and will not shut off when battery is fully charged. You can seriously damage a battery by overcharging it.
BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
Charging a battery produces explosive hydrogen gas.
Leave the hood (lid) of the machine open while the battery is charging to avoid buildup of gas inside machine.
Do not smoke or expose open flame or spark to area around battery during charging.
Follow the instructions that came with your charger. Many chargers are not automatic and can over-heat the battery if not properly set.
Watch for battery acid. If acid gets in the eye, wash out with water for twenty minutes and call a physician.
PAGE 8
ABOUT BATTERIES:
We do not recommend use of anything but a deep cycle battery, one made to run a long time between recharging. An automotive battery, designed to be recharged (by the cars alternator) right after short use, will give poor service.
We do not recommend use of a battery that weighs more than 120lbs, since this could make steering difficult.
1.
GENERAL RULES FOR BATTERY CARE:
KEEP THE BATTERY CLEAN. Dirt on the battery transmits electricity and can cause quicker discharge.
2.
KEEP THE BATTERY FULL OF WATER. A low water level can ruin the battery very quickly. Water should always cover the plates inside the battery. (You see the tops of them when you remove the cap).
Many batteries have "rings" that are visible inside the cell holes. In these batteries, fill to ring. We recommend you
use only distilled water
. The minerals in ordinary water can coat the lead plates, shortening battery life.
3.
CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH THE CAPS IN PLACE.. Do not remove the caps for a normal charge.
These caps include proper venting, and will keep the charging process from projecting a thin layer of acid on surrounding machine parts.
4.
If you must use an external charger, be sure to unplug the Andersen connector before doing so.
Otherwise, you can damage the red light warning system. Do not use an external charger that is too big for the battery or wrong voltage. (Charger must be 12V and must not put out more than 25 amps.
5.
ACID. Batteries contain corrosive sulfuric acid. As mentioned above, leave the vented caps in place when charging, so acid will not bubble out ofthe battery. Take care that acid does not fall on the steel surfaces of the machine; eventually it will cause the machine to rust.
Treat acid spills with water to dilute the acid. To clean up: use solution of water and baking soda, applied with a small brush. Keep using the solutino until the fizzing stops. This will neutralize the acid.
6.
MAKE SURE CONNECTIONS TO THE BATTERY ARE TIGHT. Loose connections will cause arcing, which will eat into and destroy the battery terminals.
7.
WATCH THE GREASE. Never put grease on the inside of the connector. The grease will cause arcing and deterioration of the connector. You can put grease on the outside of the terminal after it is mounted to the battery.
8.
DO NOT HAMMER ON THE BATTERY OR ITS CONNECTORS. Batteries are heavy but fragile. Hammering on the posts on the battery can break the connectors inside. Use a puller to remove connectors, not a hammer or screwdriver.
9.
DO NOT STORE BATTERY ON A CONCRETE FLOOR. Doing so can cause quick discharge and even damage to the battery. Store the battery on wood, cardboard, or other self insulating material.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES:
The highest maintenance item on your machine will be its storage battery.
Please read the "About Batteries" section of this book.
MAIN BROOMS:
Replace the main brooms when they stop sweeping to your standards.
MAIN BROOM
We recommend you use our brooms. They are made for your machine. Our brand of broom has a precision plastic core that is carefully balanced and has machined insert points so the broom fits tightly on the machine's hubs. Brooms made by "will fit" companies to fit our machines are often made with rough drain-pipe cores. They often bounce even when new. Bouncing brooms do not sweep.
Vee-Broom. Preferred Style
A new main broom has two and a half inches of fiber on it. Normally, a main broom with one and a half inches or less of fiber will not sweep as well as a new broom.
Spiral-Broom. Does not sweep as well as Vee-Broom.
We recommend the "Vee" type filter pattern, which is able to fit the hopper fuller than the
"Spiral" type filter pattern.

MAIN BROOM REPLACEMENT
Note that you do not need to reverse the broom periodically - as on other brands because our broom suspension does not bend and splay the outerfibers of the broom.

TO REPLACE MAIN BROOM:
Remove (1) Hopper, (2) Access
Panel, (3) Idler Arm (1 Bolt), and then remove (4) the old Broom.
1. Turn off machine and unplug battery connector. Shake the filter.
2. Raise main broom off ground with broom lever.
3. Remove dirt hopper and broom access door (3 screws).
4. Unbolt broom as shown (Item 3 in photo).
5. Pull out old broom.
6. Push on new broom-being careful to line up the slot on the broom with the driver's slots. Push the broom all the way in.
7. Make sure "Vee" of the Vee broom points forward when viewed from the top.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Always "park" the main broom when machine is not in use.
If you leave the main broom on the floor for an extended period without turning it, you will put a flat spot in its fiber.
This will cause "broom bounce" and bad sweeping.
PAGE 10
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
TO REPLACE SIDE BROOM:
1. Turn off machine and unplug battery.
2. Raise side broom off of ground with control lever.
3. Turn side broom adjustment knob clockwise until broom is as high as it will go.
(
Operating Tip
: The knob will be easier to turn, if you pull on the broom lever at the same time; this relieves pressure from the adjustment).
4. Pull clevis pin from side broom and remove broom. (New broom has replacement plastic mount included, so no need to unscrew the old one).
5. If your machine's side broom mounting shaft has more than one mounting hole for the broom pin, always use the top hole.
6. Lower broom - with motor off - and turn adjustment control until broom pattern shows
11 O'Clock to 5 O'Clock contact pattern. (see next column).
TO ADJUST DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain drives the rear wheels. If it is too loose, it will come off of the drive sprocket.
If it is too tight, the chain will bind and/or the clutch lever will become hard to operate. In either case, the chain will make "popping" noises that show chain adjustment is needed.
A properly adjusted chain leaves about 1/4 to
1/2 inch of slack, as shown.
To adjust the chain, it is not necessary to remove the battery if you use the right tools.
1.) Turn off machine and unplug Andersen connector.
2.) Pull clutch lever all the way closed (lever touching handlebar) and tie or tape it into that position.
3.) Use a 3/4" combination wrench on left side of bolt that goes thru the clutch wheel. Use a 3/4" ratchet (socket) wrench on the right side.
4.) Loosen the through bolt and pull up on it with the two wrenches.
5.) Tighten bolt.
6.) Test unit. Chain should not bind the clutch lever action and should not slap against the rear cover.
PAGE 11
SIDE BROOM ADJUSTMENT
Side broom will not sweep if it is flat on the ground.
Fiber should touch the ground in an 11 O'Clock to 5 O'Clock pattern as shown here.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
CLUTCH AND BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
As explained in "How it Works", (Page 5), the clutch and brake operate with the same control and by way of the same clutch donut.
Clutch Adjustment:
When set properly, machine should not "creep" in neutral, but lever should begin to take hold when lever is depressed 1/2" or so. To set neutral, a thin business card should just barely fit between clutch donut (wheel) and drive spindle (capstan).
Adjust clutch at handlebar.
Clutch Donut
If the clutch slips:
1. Inspect the clutch donut.
If in good repair, then adjust. If donut looks melted, then replace - it got too hot from slipping.
2. To adjust clutch:
Loosen the nut at the end of the cable where it enters the handlebar housing.
Also loosen the nut inside the handlebar housing.
Now, tighten the outer nut until the clutch engages and the machine starts to creep forward. Loosen the outer nut, one turn, from that point. Tighten the inner nut. Test.
NOTE:
The brake should adjust automatically with the clutch. If the clutch still works OK, but the brake does not, or vice-versa, follow steps on right side of this page.
If kept adjusted, the clutch donut should last several years. To replace the donut:
1. Turn off the machine and unplug the battery.
Remove the rear protective panel to have access to rear axle.
2. Remove the master link in the drive chain. This link is visibly different from the others. Removing the master link permits removal of the chain.
3. Remove clutch cable end from the clutch fork.
4. Remove the transmission from machine. (4 bolts from bottom).
5. Remove the clutch fork from the machine by removing the mounting pin.
6. Remove the clutch wheel from the fork.
7.
Unbolt the three bolts that hold the clutch wheel together to remove the donut.
8. Install new donut on clutch wheel.
Be sure you mount clutch wheel concentric on axle.
9.
Reverse procedure to install.

Check for Cause of Problem in Order Shown:
PROBLEM: MAIN MOTOR WILL NOT RUN.
1. Check that the hoods safety switch, (Page 4, Item 17), is firmly down.
2. Check battery voltage. (When voltage is too low, circuit breaker will cut out).
3. Check for loose circuit wiring.
4. Check for defective on/off switch.
5. Check for defective relay.
6. Check for defective circuit breaker.
7. Check and replace motor brushes. Check also for burnt motor armature.
PROBLEM: SIDE BROOM MOTOR WILL NOT RUN; MAIN BROOM IS OK
Can you rotate the broom by hand? If no, then:
1. Check In-Line fuse. (This is in the wiring harness
on early machines, and mounts under the
hood, on the left-hand under side lip of the body. Current machines use a circuit breaker, situated in the same location).
2. Check too see that the wiring harness on the
side broom arm has not become disconnected.
3. Check the side broom switch.
4. Check broom motor.
If you can rotate the side broom by hand, then:
1. Check that the drive connector, inside bearing
tube, has not become disconnected. It will do
this to save the motor and gear drive.
2. Check the side broom motor.
Red Fuse Holder or Circuit
Breaker is under this edge.
PROBLEM: MAIN BROOM WORKS, BUT MAIN BROOM DOES NOT TURN.
1. Check to see if something is caught in main broom, such as strapping. This material will wind
itself around the edges of the broom, locking it up and causing the belt to slip.
2. Check both drive belts for wear and adjustment.
3. Check the Main Broom Belt Tensioner. The belt tensioner moves constantly to take up slack in
the belt as the broom moves up and down with floor irregularity. It should be greased with chassis grease every two years.
To grease: Unscrew vertical Allen-head retaining screw (Item B) BEFORE unscrewing lateral Allen-head screw (Item A).
Otherwise you can damage the main broom arm.
Remove lateral screw (A) and insert grease in arm's Oilite bearing. Reassemble. Do not overtighten lateral screw (A) or arm will bind. Screw in (B) once position of (A) is correct.
PROBLEM: MOTOR RUNS, BUT MACHINE WILL NOT SELF-PROPEL.
1. Make sure belt between motor and transmission is
adjusted properly.
2. See if clutch slips. If so, adjust, following the procedure in this book. If adjustment cannot make clutch work properly.
3. Replace the rubber clutch donut.
4. Check chain and sprocket
on differential axle.

PROBLEM: BROOMS ROTATE, BUT MACHINE DOES NOT SWEEP WELL.
1.
Main Broom may be worn out. While machine can sweep with as little as one half inch of main broom fiber, main broom should have 1.0" of fiber or more to sweep really well.
2. Main Broom bounces. This will cause skipping over debris. If this occurs, broom must be replaced.
Cause of broom bounce is generally bent fiber on one side, causing broom to become oval.
This, in turn, is caused by leaving the broom on the ground for long periods of time without broom rotating, which will bend the fiber. A second cause is use of a mainbroom that is made incorrectly. For this reason, avoid "will-fit" main brooms made by other manufacturers to fit our machines. Our design requires brooms in perfect balance and perfectly round.
3. Check rubber flap on lip of the hopper.
This piece is very important to good sweeping, and must be in good condition or machine will throw debris forward of machine.
If flap is torn or missing, replace with a new part.
Hopper's
Rubber Flap
PROBLEM: MACHINE SWEEPS UP DEBRIS FINE, BUT BLOWS DUST.
1. Filter is dirty. With power off, turn crank 20 times to clean filter.
2. Air is shut off. Open air shutoff control.
3. Filter is clogged from mud. Remove and inspect filter. Clean if necessary by shaking and vaccuuming the filter.
4. Air leaks. Check and replace neoprene floor seals as needed.
5. Is fan turning with main motor? (Has set screw come out of fan?).
PROBLEM: MACHINE SWEEPS OK, DUST CONTROL PICKS UP DUST, BUT BLOWS IT INTO
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
.
1. Remove the black filter cover. (There are three screws at the rear. Cover fits into a slot
at the front). Then check for improper seal between filter and body. Filter is taped to the filter element support grill (Part No. 4-505) with double-sided carpet tape. This seal must be tight.
2. Check filter for pinhole leaks and repair or replace as needed. (You can pull filter and its
mounting grid straight out of the machine once the filter cover is removed. You can also inspect the filter from undeneath the machine).
