The steering wheel controls the direction ofmachine travel. The directional pedal controls thespeed and forward/reverse direction. The brakepedal slows and stops the machine.

The side brush sweeps debris into the path of themain sweeping brush. The main brush sweepsdebris from the floor into the hopper. The largedebris trap pedal opens and closes the largedebris trap, kicking large debris into the hopper.The vacuum system pulls dust and air into thehopper through the Instant Access filter.

When sweeping is finished, clean the dust filterand empty the hopper.
