HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The steering wheel controls the direction of
machine travel. The directional pedal controls the
speed and forward/reverse direction. The brake
pedal slows and stops the machine.
The side brush sweeps debris into the path of the
main brush. The main brush sweeps debris from
the floor into the hopper. The vacuum system
pulls dust and air through the hopper and the
hopper dust filter.
When sweeping is finished, clean the hopper dust
filter and empty the hopper.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
-Check the engine oil level.
-Check the engine coolant level.
-Check the radiator and hydraulic cooler fins
for debris.
-Check the hydraulic fluid level
-Check the engine air filter indicator.
-Check the skirts and seals for damage and
wear.
-Check the condition of the sweeping
brushes. Remove any string, banding,
plastic wrap, or other debris wrapped
around them
-Check the sweeping brush patterns for
adjustment.
-Check the condition of the hopper dust filter
and seals. Clean as required.
-Check the brakes and steering for proper
operation.
-Check the fuel level.
-Check the service records to determine if
maintenance is needed.

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.
Speed up the engine to Fast engine speed when
picking up light litter. This will improve both litter
pickup and hopper loading. Do not use the Fast
engine speed in dusty environments. The
machine can dust and clog the hopper dust filter.
Operate the engine in the Medium engine speed
when picking up general debris.
For best results, use the correct brush type for
your sweeping application. The following are
recommendations for main and side brush
applications.
Nylon 8-double Row Main Brush --
Recommended for general sweeping, and has
good hopper loading. Nylon has the longest life of
the bristle types. Use this brush for sweeping
rough or irregular surfaces.
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.
Crinkle Wire 8-double Row Main Brush -- T h e
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.

Nylon24-rowMainBrush-- Recommended for
severe dust conditions on rough surfaces. This
brush has excellent pickup and long life.
Fiber and Wire 24-row Main Brush -- Offers
good sweeping action and pickup in heavy dust
concentrations. This brush is recommended
where soilage is slightly encrusted. The brush is
not recommended for heavy buildup or hard
packed soilage.
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.

HYDRAULICS
HYDRAULIC FLUID RESERVOIR
The reservoir is located in the engine
compartment next to the radiator.
Mounted on top of the reservoir is a filler cap with
a fluid level dipstick. The reservoir also has a
hydraulic breather located next to the filler cap.
Replace the hydraulic breather after every 800
hours of operation.
Check the hydraulic fluid level at operating
temperature every 100 hours of operation. Make
sure the hopper is down when checking hydraulic
fluid level. The end of the dipstick is marked with
FULL and ADD levels to indicate the level of
hydraulic fluid in the reservoir.
Lubricate the filler cap gasket with a film of
hydraulic fluid before putting the cap back on the
reservoir.
ATTENTION! Do not overfill the
hydraulic fluid reservoir or operate the
machine with a low level of hydraulic
fluid in the reservoir. Damage to the
machine hydraulic system may result.
Drain and refill the hydraulic fluid reservoir with
new hydraulic fluid every 800 hours of operation.
The hydraulic fluid filter is located at the bottom of
the engine compartment. Replace the filter
element every 800 hours of operation.
The reservoir has a built-in strainer outlet that
filters hydraulic fluid before it enters the system.
Replace the strainer every 800 hours of operation.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The quality and condition of the hydraulic fluid
play a very important role in how well the machine
operates. TENNANTs hydraulic fluid is specially
selected to meet the needs of TENNANT

TENNANT’s hydraulic fluids provide a longer life
for the hydraulic components. There are two fluids
available for different temperature ranges:
TENNANT part no. Ambient Temperature
65869 above 7_C(45_F)
65870 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 manufactured 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.
If you discover a fluid leak, contact your
mechanic/supervisor.
PROPELLING MOTOR

DEBRIS HOPPER
HOPPER DUST FILTER
The dust filter filters the air pulled up from the
hopper. The dust filter is equipped with a shaker
to remove the accumulated dust particles. The
dust filter shaker is operated by the filter shaker
switch.
The standard dust filter works very well for normal
sweeping applications. The synthetic filter works
well for humid or wet applications. The surface
load filter works well for heavy fine dust
applications. It keeps the dust on the outer
surface of the filter, making filter shaking more
effective.
Shake the dust filter before emptying the hopper
and at the end of every work shift. Check and
clean or replace the dust filter every 100 hours of
operation.
To clean the dust filter, use one of the following
methods:
DSHAKING -- Press the filter shaker switch.
DTAPPING -- Tap the filter gently on a flat
surface with the dirty side down. Do not
damage the edges of the filter element or
the filter will not seat properly in the filter
frame.
DAIR -- Always wear eye protection when
using compressed air. Blow air through the
dust filter opposite the direction of the
arrows. Never use more than 690kPa (100
psi) of air pressure and never closer the 50
mm (2 in) away from the filter. This may be
done with the dust filter in the machine.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine,
wear eye and ear protection when using
pressurized air or water.
DWATER -- Rinse the synthetic filter with a
low pressure garden hose through the dust
filter opposite the direction of the arrows.
Both the standard and surface load dust
filters can also be rinsed, but the filters will
degrade with each rinsing and should be
replaced after rinsing five times.
NOTE: Be sure the dust filter is dry before
reinstalling it in the machine.
