 OPERATION

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The steering wheel controls the direction of

machine travel. The directional lever controls the
forward/reverse direction. The propelling pedal
controls machine speed. 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 surface onto the conveyer, which transfers the
debris into hopper. The vacuum system pulls dust
and air through the hopper and the hopper dust
filters.

The machine has a left side brush, a Vario 09540

Sweeping Brusht, and an auxiliary side brush

option. There is also a dust control water system.

When sweeping is finished, clean the hopper dust

filter and empty the hopper.

 OPERATION

SWEEPING AND BRUSH INFORMATION

The model 830 has a GVWR of 9072 kg

(20,000 lb) or 4536 kg (10,000 lb) per axle.
Operate only on surfaces capable of supporting
this weight.

Avoid bulky debris such as crates, boxes, tree

branches, and very heavy material. Avoid pieces
of straps, twine, rope, 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
as straight a path as possible. 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.

Use the wet dust control option in dusty

conditions.

For best results, use the correct brush type for

your sweeping application. The following are
recommendations for main and side brush
applications.

Polypropylene and Wire Side Brush --

Recommended for general purpose sweeping.
Best combination of sweeping and
aggressiveness.

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.

11. Stop sweeping if the conveyor overload

alarm sounds. This alarm means that either
a large object is jammed in the conveyor,
that there is too much heavy debris in the
conveyor, or that the hopper opening is
filled.

If a large object is jammed in the conveyor,

the alarm will sound constantly even after
the machine is stopped. To clear the
jammed object, stop sweeping, reduce the
engine speed, and place the debris lift
direction switch in the reverse position until
the debris is removed. Then place the switch
back in the forward position and continue
sweeping.

If there is too much heavy debris in the

conveyor, the alarm will sound constantly
until the machine has stopped. This means
that the debris must be swept at a slower
travel speed.

If the hopper opening is filled, the alarm will

chirp intermittently. The opening can be
cleared by redistributing the debris in the
hopper. To do this, stop sweeping, raise the
main brush and conveyor, and tilt the hopper
back. Return the hopper to the sweeping
position and continue to sweep.

HYDRAULICS

HYDRAULIC FLUID RESERVOIR

The reservoir is located on the right side of the
machine next to the engine.

Check the hydraulic fluid level at operating

temperature daily. Make sure the hopper is down
when checking hydraulic fluid level. The sight
gauge is marked with full, the black line, and add,
the red line, levels to indicate the level of hydraulic
fluid in the reservoir. Cold fluid level is mid-point of
add and full lines.

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.

Mounted on top of the reservoir is a filler cap with

a built-in breather. Replace the cap every
800 hours of operation.

Lubricate the filler cap gasket with a film of

hydraulic fluid before putting the cap back on the
reservoir.

The reservoir has a built-in filter, located next to

the filler cap, that filters hydraulic fluid as it returns
to the tank. Replace the filter element every 800
hours of operation, or if the gauge reads in the red
zone.

The hydraulic fluid filter is located on the side of

the hydraulic reservoir that filters hydraulic fluid
before it enters the system.

Replace the filter element every 800 hours of

operation.

thermostatically controlled.

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.

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.

70 830 MM332 (3--96)

 MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC HOSES
Check the hydraulic hoses every 200 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 00002

mechanic/supervisor.

PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC

CONVEYOR LIFT SYSTEM
When the machine has been used for some time,
air can get trapped in the hydraulic fluid and
cause the conveyor lift cylinder to slowly leak
down from the raised position. If a hydraulic
component in the lift system has been replaced,
air will get into the hydraulic fluid. This air must be
purged from the system. The conveyor lift
cylinders have a built-in feature called re-phasing
that allows the air trapped in the system to
escape. When the conveyor lift cylinders are at
the top of their stroke, tiny bleed holes in the
cylinder are exposed allowing the air to escape.

Purge air from the hydraulic system after every 50

hours of operation or after a hydraulic component
in the lift system has been changed. To purge air
from the hydraulic system, hold the main brush
and conveyor lever in the position. When the
conveyor up and main brush off light comes on,
hold in this position for about 5 minutes to force
air from the system.

 MAINTENANCE

ENGINE

COOLING SYSTEM
Check the radiator coolant level daily in the
overflow reservoir. Use clean water mixed with a
permanent-type, ethylene glycol antifreeze to a
--34_ C (--30_ F) rating. Add coolant to the
overflow reservoir.

FOR SAFETY: When Servicing Machine,

Avoid Contact With Hot Engine Coolant.

Check the radiator hoses and clamps every

200 hours of operation. Tighten the clamps if they
are loose. Replace the hoses and clamps if the
hoses are cracked, harden, or swollen.

Check the radiator core exterior and hydraulic

cooler fins for debris daily. The hydraulic cooler
blocker (if used) must be removed to clean the
hydraulic cooler fins. Blow or rinse all dust, which
may have collected on the radiator, in through the
grille and radiator fins, opposite the direction of
normal air flow. Be careful not to bend the cooling
fins when cleaning. Clean thoroughly to prevent
the fins becoming encrusted with dust. Clean the
radiator and cooler only after the radiator has
cooled to avoid cracking.

FOR SAFETY: When Servicing Machine,

Wear Eye And Ear Protection When
Using Pressurized Air Or Water.

Flush the radiator and the cooling system every

1600 hours of operation, using a dependable
cleaning compound.

The radiator and hydraulic cooler assembly pivots

forward for cleaning or for accessing the front of
the engine. To pivot forward, unscrew the bottom
two bolts, pull the assembly forward and engage
the locking latch.

72 830 MM332 (3--96)

 MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER INDICATOR
The air filter indicator shows when to clean or
replace the air filter element. Check the indicator
daily. The indicator’s red line will move as the air
filter element fills with dirt. Do not clean or replace
the air filter element until the red line reaches
5 kPa (20 in H2O) and the “SERVICE WHEN
RED” window is filled with red. The indicator’s red
line may return to a lower reading on the scale
when the engine shuts off. The red line will return
to a correct reading after the engine runs for a
while.

dry cartridge-type air filter element. Check the
dust cap every 100 hours of operation to make
sure it is expelling dust. Replace the dust cap if
the rubber is worn.

The air filter element must be replaced whenever

it is damaged or has been cleaned three times.
Inside the air filter element is a safety element.
Replace this element, do not clean it, after the
regular element has been damaged or cleaned
three times.

Service the air filter element only when the air

filter indicator shows restriction in the air intake
system. Do not remove the air filter element from
the housing unless it is restricting air flow.

To clean the filter element, remove it from the filter

housing. Carefully clean the end cap and the
interior of the housing with a damp cloth. Clean
the housing sealing surfaces.

system will prevent smooth engine operation.

Prime the fuel system after running out of fuel,

changing the fuel filter, disconnecting the low
pressure fuel lines, or any part of the low pressure
fuel system leaks during engine operation.

TO PRIME FUEL SYSTEM

1. Stop the engine and set the machine parking
brake.

FOR SAFETY: Before Leaving Or

Servicing Machine; Stop On Level
Surface, Set Parking Brake, And Turn
Off Machine. Keep Flames And Sparks
Away From Fuel System Service Area.
Keep Area Well Ventilated.

2. Fill the fuel tank.

3. Manually operate the priming pump until

fuel, free from air, comes from the filter vent
point.

4. Loosen the return connection of the fuel

injection pump.

5. Operate the priming pump until fuel, free

from air, comes from the injection pump vent
point.

6. Loosen all four of the high pressure fuel line

connections at the injectors.

ATTENTION! The engine may start

running spontaneously if all four of the
fuel line connections are not loosened.

7. Operate the starter motor until fuel, free

from air, comes from the line connections.

NOTE: Operating the throttle in the Fast position

will increase the fuel flow speedup the bleeding
process. After bleeding is finished, return the
throttle to Idle.

8. Tighten the high pressure fuel line

connections. The engine is now ready to
start.

NOTE: If the engine runs correctly for a short time

and then stops, or runs roughly, check for air in
the fuel system. If there is air in the system, there
is probably leakage in the low pressure system.

9. Turn the ignition switch off.
