The purpose of the manual is a safe use and maintenance of the sweeper vehicle and the manual must be available for the operators at all times. 1.1. Purpose of the sweeper The A60 sweeper vehicle is used for cleaning paved surfaces. 1.2. Operators In this manual "the operator" refers to anyone who comes into contact with the A60 sweeper or any of its components under operational circumstances. The organization itself should ensure that every operator is sufficiently qualified to work with this type of vehicle and is capable of taking the stipulations and safety aspects into account. A clear distinction is made between two groups of operators: - ”The driver" is the person who actually operates the vehicle in preparation of or during the production process (sweeping process). The driver must be older than 18 years of age and be aware of his responsibilities. - ”The technician” is the person who repairs or carries out maintenance on the vehicle. The technician must be qualified and trained in technical actions. It is mandatory that the technician has thorough technical understanding and is able to read technical drawings. The driver and the technician must be instructed properly before operating or carrying out maintenance on the vehicle. The initial instructions are given by specialists from Tennant N.V. an exception is made if the organization in question already operates several vehicles of the same type, or has sufficient in-house expertise. Tennant N.V. cannot be held responsible for work carried out by inadequately instructed or unqualified operators. 1.3. Emission data The hydraulic system of the A60 sweeper vehicle contains hydraulic oil and is powered by a diesel engine, which complies with the euro-4 legislation. The battery of the A60 sweeper vehicle contains battery acid. English -5- Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 1.4. Supplier data on identification plate Supplier: Tennant N.V. Postal address: PO Box 6 5400 AA Uden The Netherlands Visiting adress: Industrielaan 6 5405 AB Uden The Netherlands Contact: Tel +31 (0)413 241 111 Fax +31 (0)413 241 222 Internet: www.tennant-europe.com E-mail: [email protected] Identification plate The identification plate of the A60 is attached on the (lower) side of the passenger seat. 1.5. Functionality description The A60 is a sweeper vehicle, exclusively designed for the cleaning of paved surfaces. The refuse in front of the vehicle is collected beneath the vehicle by two brushes. There it is sucked through the suction mouth and transported to the dirt hopper. The suction force in the suction mouth is created by under-pressure in the dirt hopper. The fan on the dirt hopper pumps the air out of the dirt hopper and releases it to the outside air through the air extraction duct in the top of the dirt hopper. A labyrinth inside changes the direction of the air stream several times, thereby reducing the noise. The refuse is moistened in the suction mouth so that it precipitates onto the floor of the dirt hopper and cannot be blown out again. The power supply for all the motorized components of the sweeper vehicle is supplied by a hydraulic system. This hydraulic system is in turn powered by the diesel engine. This type of power supply ensures that the diesel engine can maintain a constant engine speed and that all other actions (steering, linear or rotating) are generated by regulating the hydraulic fluid flow. For instance, the driving action, the steering mechanism, the hydraulic cylinders, the sweeping unit and the suction fan are all driven hydraulically. Only the driving speed and fan speed are directly affected by the power and speed of the diesel engine. English -6- Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 1.6.

VEHICLE OPERATION Always observe the safety regulations and measures described in section 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.7. Before entering traffic, the operator should be sufficiently familiarized with the handling of the sweeper vehicle. This applies particularly to the large steering radius (60°) and the hydraulic drive mechanism. After sufficient practice with the sweeper vehicle the operator may participate in traffic as long as local traffic regulations are observed. Drive carefully at all times, particularly when driving up or down gradients. This means that the driving style should always be adapted to prevailing conditions. • • All manoeuvres should cease if traffic conditions do not allow for their execution. In connection with safety: o the vehicle must have sufficient lights, and o the warning beacon must be switched on. 4.1. Before driving Before driving the vehicle the “checkpoints for sweeping” in section 9.1 should be studied. » The seat must be adjusted to the driver’s preferences to improve seating comfort and prevent physical complaints. For the adjustment options please refer to the original operating manual of the chair (supplied). » The mirrors should be adjusted manually so that the driver can observe the following from his seat: - The left-hand brush must be visible in the left-hand top outside mirror of the vehicle. - Via the rear-view mirrors on both sides of the vehicle it must be possible to observe traffic in the immediate vicinity of the side and the rear of the vehicle.

Sweeper vehicles are mainly used to clean public roads. The type of refuse usually consists of litter, sand, grit and leaves. The dust that develops during sweeping is settled by continuously spraying it with water. The quality of the sweeping results is largely determined by the adjustments and settings. The adjustment of the brushes depends on various factors (see also section 9.2.2 and 9.2.3). When selecting the driving speed and the brush speed, prevailing conditions should be taken into account. The joystick control of the sweeping unit and the wide steering angle make the vehicle highly manoeuvrable during the sweeping procedure. Always adapt the manoeuvring to the prevailing conditions. In due course, the operator will become sufficiently experienced to assess the conditions accurately and adapt the sweeping techniques accordingly. 5.1. Sweeping conditions The settings of vehicle's functions must be based on prevailing conditions. These settings can be adjusted while sweeping, as long as the vehicle and the sweeping procedure remain under control and the operator's attention is not distracted from the traffic. Adjustment of the sweeping unit and/or third brush must always be done very carefully. No obstacles or people may be within the danger zone. Road speed While sweeping, the road speed must be adapted to the prevailing conditions. A maximum speed of 7 km/h is recommended. During sweeping the tortoise-speed is automatically selected. This means that the maximum vehicle speed is set at ± 12 km/h forward and ± 8 km/h in reverse at an engine speed of ± 1300 revs/min. The engine speed during sweeping is set by means of the speed regulator in the central cab switchboard (fig. 6, no. 1). The accelerator pedal therefore only influences the driving speed. A sudden switch to reverse at normal sweeping speed could cause hazard to traffic approaching from the rear. English - 47 - Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 Suction power The vehicle's suction power is determined by the diesel engine's speed. Under standard conditions and at engine speeds between 1300-1500 revs/min, wear, fuel consumption and noise levels will be reasonably attuned to the vehicle's performance. Suction mouth Larger pieces of rubbish or large amounts of leaves can be sucked in through the front of the suction mouth which can be opened by means of the joystick (fig. 21, no. 4). Keep in mind that the suction power is reduced when the mouth is open. If the suction mouth is blocked (by twigs, for example), it can be unblocked by switching off the fan (fig. 6, no. 10), drawing the suction mouth upwards (fig. 6, no. 14) and reversing a small distance to check that the blockage has been removed. Brush speed The brush speed must be adapted to prevailing sweeping conditions, such as the litter situation, the surface or the road speed. When the brush speed has to be adjusted, the vehicle must first be brought to a halt. This must be done in order to keep track of the traffic situation. The brush speed can be regulated by means of a knob on the central switch panel (fig. 6, no. 3). The knob can be turned down to 0. Select an appropriate brush speed, but not too high. High brush speeds lead to increased brush wear and can cause objects, like small stones, to be flung away. Water pressure The water circuit is set to a fixed pressure. Under normal conditions this pressure is sufficient to keep the suction mouth clean and prevent accumulation of dust. Sprayers The sprayers must be activated in dry conditions to prevent dust from developing (fig. 6, no. 6). Excessive use of water should be avoided during sweeping! The amount of water in the vehicle is limited. Inspection hatch The inspection hatch is located on the right-hand side of the dirt hopper. The hatch can be opened to put pieces of rubbish that are too big for the suction mouth (for instance branches) into the dirt hopper. It is recommended to switch the suction fan off before opening the hatch (fig. 6, no. 9). English - 48 - Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 Outside temperature Because the water is heated permanently by the hydraulic fluid coolers which are located in the water tanks it is possible to sweep in temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. However, only use this option if circumstances actually warrant it. There is always the risk of ice formation and freezing. After all, freezing increases the risk of possible breakdowns and damage. Sweeping techniques Sweeping techniques can help the driver to: • obtain good sweeping results, and • carry out the work at an effective speed. Low driving speeds ensure that the manoeuvrability of the vehicle is used optimally. Excessive steering manoeuvres result in increased tyre wear.

Adapt the driving and sweeping pattern to this brush attachment. In order to achieve good sweeping results, the third brush must always be used in combination with the brushes as described in section 5.1. Take the prevailing conditions into account when selecting the brush speed. When sweeping severely polluted areas, it is recommended to use a high brush speed and a low driving speed. 1) Follow the "Start sweeping" procedure (section 5.2), but do not drive off yet. 2) Bring the third brush to the desired position with the joystick (see section 3.9). 3) Switch on the third brush with the desired direction of rotation. 4) Lower the third brush. 5) Adjust the pressure of the third brush to the surface (fig. 6, no. 15). 6) Adjust the angle of the third brush. 7) Engage the sprayer in case of undesired dust clouds (fig. 6, no. 16). 8) Gently push in the accelerator. The vehicle will move slowly forward. When work with the third brush is completed: - the brush must be raised and placed in front of the vehicle, - the sprayer must be switched off, and - the “Stop sweeping” procedure (section 5.3) must be carried out. Good control of the third brush can only be realised through thorough training. Inexpert operation could cause damage to the vehicle and/or the third brush system and give rise to hazardous situations. English - 53 - Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 5.5. Emptying the dirt hopper When the dirt hopper contains excess water, this can be drained off by opening the discharge opening (the folded-up rubber hose) on the right hand side of the vehicle. The operator must be absolutely sure that • during tipping or lowering of the dirt hopper, and • during opening or closing of the top-door no other persons are in the vicinity of the vehicle. If the operator has not ascertained this, every movement of the vehicle must be stopped. There is a risk that someone may become trapped between the dirt hopper and the frame or between the hopper (top) door and the hopper. Also injuries can occur when the top-door hits people during opening or closing. • • Tipping is prohibited while the vehicle is parked on a gradient! The vehicle may not be driven with a tipped hopper and/or open hopper door! Tipping the hopper 1) Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2) Engage the hand brake (fig. 7, no. 7). 3) Remove the remote control from the bracket (see also section 3.10) 4) Use the key to unlock the remote control. 5) Stand well back to the right of the vehicle. This affords a good overview of most of the vehicle. 6) Tip the hopper. The hopper (top) door will automatically open. 7) Allow the hopper to empty. 8) Use water to spray clean the top-door seals and the rear lights of the vehicle. 9) Lower the hopper again. 10) Close the top-door. 11) Use the key to lock the remote control. 12) Store the remote control in the cabin.

USING THE MANUAL HYDRAULIC PUMP The manual hydraulic pump is located behind at the LHS at the rear of the sweeper on top of the hydraulic tank and shielded by a triangular hatch (fig. 27). In case of a malfunction of the diesel engine, this pump can be used to operate the following functions to ready the machine for transport: - tipping/lowering the hopper disengaging the hand brake The handle to operate the manual pump is on the left-hand side of the passenger seat. The operator must be absolutely sure that during tipping or lowering of the dirt hopper no other persons are in the vicinity of the vehicle. If the operator has not ascertained this, every movement of the vehicle must be stopped. There is a risk that someone may become trapped between the dirt hopper and the frame or between the hopper(top) door and the hopper. Tipping the hopper 1) Take the handle and place it on the hand pump. 2) Turn the knob on the front side of the hand pump fully clockwise. 3) Tip the hopper by pumping. Do this by moving the handle up and down. Lowering the hopper 1) Turn the knob on the front of the hand pump slowly anti-clockwise. The hopper will now start lowering. 2) To stop the lowering turn the knob clockwise again. Disengaging the hand brake 1) Turn the ball valve against the driving direction (fig. 27). 2) Disengage the hand brake by pumping. Do this by moving the handle up and down.

DAILY MAINTENANCE AND CHECKLIST During daily maintenance the safety regulations and measures described in section 2.2, 2.5 and 2.7 must be taken into account and the following must be complied with: • Switch off the engine completely. • Engage the hand brake. • Lock the emergency stop in the cabin with the matching key, so that the vehicle is completely deactivated. • When tipping the hopper: o Tip the hopper completely, and o Secure the hopper with the safety pins. For other maintenance refer to the service manual supplied with the A60. 9.1. Checkpoints before sweeping A fixed number of points must be checked every day before the vehicle is used. This is done to ensure that risks are kept to a minimum once the vehicle is being operated. 1) Leaks Check that no oil, fuel and/or water is leaking from the vehicle. Take a tolerable margin into account. Contact a technician in the event of leaks. 2) Motor oil level Check the motor oil level with the dipstick. The stick is located on the side of the diesel engine. The oil level must be between the marks on the dipstick. Contact a technician if the motor oil level is incorrect. 3) Coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. The reservoir is mounted on the rear of the cabin. The level must be visible between the markings (fig. 29). Contact a technician if the coolant level is incorrect. 4) Diesel oil level On the fuel tank gauge on the information display (see section 3.7) check whether the fuel volume in the diesel tank is sufficient. Fill up if necessary. Figure 29: Coolant reservoir English - 58 - Home Find...

Settings For good sweeping results a correct setting of the following: • the suction mouth, • the brush angle, and • the brush pressure is essential 9.2.1. Adjusting the suction mouth The degree of suction power is influenced by the setting of the suction mouth. The distance between the suction mouth and the road surface is determined by the guide wheel attached to the suction mouth. When the guide wheel is on the ground, this distance should be approximately: - 35 mm at the front. - 15 mm at the back (see fig. 30). Adjustment bolts 15 mm Figure 30: Adjusting the suction mouth The rubbers must connect properly and must not be worn to maintain good suction power. Replace the rubbers when the opening to the road surface becomes too large. English - 60 - Home Find... Go To.. 1043504 rev 01 TENNANT A60 9.2.2. Adjusting the brush angle The brushes can be set at a forward and sideways angle in relation to the surface that has to be swept. The correct setting depends on several circumstances such as the condition of the litter, the surface or the brush wear. When the brushes are set at a forward angle, the rear of the brush does not touch the surface. This brings the rubbish in front of the suction mouth so that it does not revolve with the brush. The sideways angle is adjusted to the shape of the surface or the degree of brush wear. Some vehicle models are equipped with a hydraulic sideways adjustment that can be operated from the cabin. If the sideways angle is too large, it will create space between the brush and the suction mouth, leaving a line of rubbish behind. This effect increases with increased brush wear. Figure 31: 1) Unscrew the 2 nuts "A" of the brush suspension. 2) Set the forward angle: - Turn bolts ‘B’ to the right to increase the forward angle. - Turn bolts ‘B’ to the left to decrease the forward angle. 3) Set the sideways angle: - Tilt the brush by hand to adjust the sideways angle to the surface. 4) Once the correct setting has been obtained, tighten the 2 nuts ‘A’. 9.2.3. A B B A Adjusting the brush pressure Figure 31: Adjusting the brush angle The correct setting for the brush pressure among other things depends on the type of litter, the surface, the brush wear and the driving speed. Taking into account these circumstances an acceptable brush pressure must be selected. The brush pressure is regulated hydraulically. For this purpose operate the following two switches on the central cab switchboard (fig. 6): • Switch 11 : pressure adjustment left-hand brush • Switch 12 : pressure adjustment right-hand brush Excessive brush pressure results in increased brush wear English - 61 - Home Find...

For this maintenance work the high-pressure lance (optional) or a high-pressure cleaner can be used. Chapter 6 contains a detailed description of the use of the high-pressure lance (optional). • The handbrake must be engaged during cleaning of the vehicle. • The doors and windows of the cabin must be closed during cleaning of the vehicle with the high-pressure lance or high-pressure cleaner. • The engine compartment may only be cleaned when the engine is switched off. Therefore, the high-pressure lance cannot be used for this purpose. 1) Suction mouth and suction hose • Clean the suction mouth and suction hose. • Also clean the inside of the suction hose: o Carry out the "Starting the vehicle" procedure (section 4.2) (engine speed ±1400 revs/min.). o Temporarily switch on the suction fan and the water pump. o Clean the inside of the suction hose: Maintain a sufficiently safe distance from the vehicle while the diesel engine is switched on. 2) Sweeping unit Remove dirt from the sweeping unit with excess water. 3) Blow-off chamber and dirt hopper • Open the top door; respectively fully tip the dirt hopper. • Once the hopper is fully tipped, insert the safety pins. • Clean the blow-off chamber and dirt hopper with water. • Fully lower the dirt hopper. • Clean the ventilation grid via the inspection hatches. 4) Engine compartment and chassis Before cleaning the engine compartment: • Fully tip the dirt hopper and insert the safety pins. • Switch off the engine completely. Clean the entire engine compartment and chassis with water. Care should be taken when cleaning with high pressure. 5) Exterior of the vehicle Once the cabin is closed properly, clean the vehicle on the outside with water. 6) Cabin • The interior of the cabin may only be cleaned with a brush and a moist cloth.

This completes the temperature setting for the heater. Temperature setting airco system (airco system switched: lamp out 2 on) • Press “Set” once. • Go to 5P2 with the arrow keys. • When 5P2 appears in the display, press “Set”. • Adjust the temperature by pressing the up or down arrow keys. • After the adjustment, press “Set”. • Wait 15 seconds: the actual cabin temperature appears in the display. This completes the temperature setting for the airco. Attention! » The heater and airco system only function when the blower has been switched on (fig. 7, no. 27). » To prevent the heater from switching on during hot spells, the heater temperature must be set lower than the temperature for the airco system. » If the cabin has been heated too strongly, the best thing to do is to open the window for a little while to allow the hottest air to escape. However, the best cooling is achieved when the windows are subsequently closed entirely. » The optimum difference between the inside and outside temperature lies between 4 and 6 degrees. A larger temperature difference may cause colds. » The adjustable outflow mouths can best be aimed at the source of heat or the window and not directly at the people inside the cabin. » The heating and air conditioning can be used simultaneously for a large part of the year. The air is then first dehumidified by the airco system and subsequently brought up to an agreeable temperature by the heater. This results in a very quick demisting of the windows, even when the people inside are wearing damp clothes. The setting should then be as follows: set the airco system 2° lower and the heater 2° higher than the inside temperature. English - 64 - Home Find...

GENERAL INFORMATION MAINTENANCE This service manual deals with a number of technical aspects that are of importance to the A60 sweeper vehicle. The directions for use do not only apply to the operation of the vehicle, but also as the basis for maintenance. The technician should first read the operator's manual before reading this service manual. Therefore, the driver is best-qualified to inform the technician about any defects and/or breakdowns. This is an excellent form of communication for optimum technical maintenance. This service manual describes the maintenance work that is carried out most frequently and assumes reasonable technical skill on the part of the technician. The technician may independently carry out repairs that do not appear in this manual, but for which he is sufficiently trained and qualified. It is essential that he complies with all safety regulations and aspects that apply to other activities. He should also possess sufficient expertise to carry out such work independently and without risk. The specific supplier's documentation needed for such repairs is included, as are the electrical and hydraulic diagrams. In the event that further information is required, please contact Tennant N.V. All parts should be replaced with authentic Tennant N.V. parts or parts of similar quality. If repairs are carried out unprofessionally or incorrect parts are used, the CE designation lapses irrevocably. Tennant N.V. accepts no liability for any ensuing direct or indirect damage. 14.1.
