SWEEPING SYSTEM
TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION!
Perform the tests when seated on the driver's seat or by simulating this configuration because the machine
is equipped with a safety system that stops the movement (machine in neutral) and disables the hydraulic
functions when the operator is not on the drivers seat for more than 3 seconds. The movement and the
hydraulic functions restarts automatically when the operator returns on the drivers seat. Only the suction fan
for the manual rear pipe, and the high-pressure pump for the washing system can be used in these conditions.
The brooms do not clean properly

Possible causes
1. The brooms are not properly adjusted (adjust).
2. The broom speed is not correct (adjust).
The brooms do not rotate
Possible causes
1. There are oil leaks from the hydraulic system hoses (replace the hoses).
2. The motors are faulty (replace).
3. The accessory pump does not pressurize the oil in the circuit (check the hydraulic system oil pressure).
4. There is no voltage at the solenoid valve (check the electrical system).
5. The engine speed is higher than 2,050 rpm.
6. The operator is not on the drivers seat.
The 3rd broom arm swings
Possible causes
1. The tensioning springs are not properly adjusted (adjust).
2. The end-of-stroke sensors are not properly adjusted (adjust).
The 3rd broom arm does not shift sideways
Possible causes
1. There is no voltage at the solenoid valve (check the electrical system).
2. The distributor is stuck (repair).
3. The cylinder gaskets are worn (repair the cylinders).
4. The safety pin is broken (replace).
The 3rd broom arms shifts too sharply

DUST AND DEBRIS COLLECTION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The dust and debris collection system consists of:
A) Suction fan
B) Suction filter
C) Hopper
D) Suction hose
E) Suction inlet
F) Skirt
G) Gasket between suction inlet and hopper
H) Hopper door
I) Hopper suction hole
J) Open door support rod
K) Lifted hopper support rods
L) Lifted hopper support rods (not applied)
M) Lifted hopper support rod housings
N) Drain filter
The suction fan (A), activated by an hydraulic motor, creates vacuum inside the hopper (C). The vacuum determines the suction
capacity of the suction inlet (E) through the suction hose (D).
The hopper (C) is made of stainless steel and is fastened to the machine with hinges. Two hydraulic cylinders (O) allow hopper
lifting and two hydraulic cylinders (P) allow hopper tilting (dumping). The door (H), which can be opened with an electric control
system, allows for debris discharging.
Both the door (H) and the suction hole (I) are equipped with gaskets, which allow the suction inlet (E) to reach the maximum suction
capacity.
Inside the hopper there are two stainless steel filters having the following functions:
The suction filter (B) retains dust and debris during fan suction phase, and makes them settle in the hopper;
The breather filter (N) retains dust and debris escaped from the suction filter, and does not allow them to be discharged
externally.
Both filters can be easily removed and cleaned.
To perform checks and maintenance procedures safely with the hopper lifted and the door opened, perform the following
procedures:
Turn the rod (J) to lock the door (H) in open position.
Remove the support rods (K) from the position (L) and place them into the housings (M) to keep the hopper (C) in lifted
position.
The suction inlet is made of sheet steel and is equipped with two wheels, which allow it to follow the pattern of the surface to be
cleaned.
The suction inlet can shift on the right side, for machines with right-hand drive, and on the left side for machines with left-hand drive.
On its front side there is a skirt (F) that must be lifted to collect bulky debris.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic system consists of four independent circuits, supplied by one tank.
The first circuit is supplied by a variable delivery pump (capacity 65 cc), activated by the diesel engine. This pump activates two
drive system motors, which operate on the front wheels.
The forward and reverse drive speed is adjusted by the drive pedal, which is connected to the pump.
A second circuit is fed by a gear pump driven by the variable delivery pump, to which it is connected by a connecting joint. This
pump activates the suction fan motor by means of the distributor.
The third and fourth circuits are supplied by a tandem gear pump, activated by the diesel engine. The front pump (capacity 11 cc)
drives the steering and accessory systems through a flow control valve. The accessories controlled by a electrodistributor are the
followings:
Side broom motors
Hopper lifting and dumping
Suction inlet lifting and moving
The rear pump (6 cc) drives the 3rd broom rotation and the 3rd broom arm shifting cylinders by means of a double flow control
valve. The double flow control valve allows for separate adjustment of the 3rd broom motor speed and shifting cylinder operation
speed.
All circuits are protected by suction filters and safety valves.
Upon request, the machine can be equipped with a prefitting for snow equipment, that is to say snow brush and salt spreader. The
snow brush rotation is controlled by a dedicated solenoid valve placed on the 3rd broom rotation circuit, while the lifting/lowering
movement is performed with the suction inlet controls. The salt spreader activation is controlled with a dedicated solenoid valve
placed on the activation circuit of the high-pressure washing system pump.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The electrical system is power-supplied from the alternator, which is activated by the diesel engine.
The battery is 12 V.
The electrical system is protected by the MEGAVAL 100 A line fuse, which is placed directly on the battery positive terminal. Circuits
are protected by lamellar fuses, which are located into appropriate fuse clamps. The pre-heating glow plugs are protected by a
MIDIVAL 80 A fuse.
The electrical circuit can be opened by means by a battery release device connected on battery negative terminal and frame.
The emergency push-button on the left side of the dashboard disables all the accessories except the hazard warning lights.
