Service Operations

Important

In this section there are very important safety rules

that you must be aware of before operating any

Terramite product. When you see the symbol next

to a headline, it will indicate that the paragraph

contains important safety information.

For the Beginner

Regardless of whether you have purchased or rented a

Terramite Street Sweeper to perform a job that you wish

to complete as

quickly as pos-

sible, it is manda-

tory that you read

through the oper-

ating sections of

this manual before

operating the

machine. The few

minutes it will take

will not only give

you a solid basis for learning to operate the Terramite Street

Sweeper correctly, but you will have the assurance that

you are operating the machine in a safe manner. We have

made every effort to make the Terramite Street Sweeper

the safest machine of its kind in the industry, but that is as

far as we can go. The rest is up to you. Please help us by

carefully reading this handbook and complying with its

safety suggestions.

If You Must Use the Terramite

Street Sweeper Right Now

Without question it is to your advantage and safety that

you take the time to follow the operator training suggestions.

Only with some guidance can you expect to become a

master at the controls of a Terramite Street Sweeper in a

reasonably short period. However, if this is not possible,

first read the operating and safety rules section of the

handbook, then at least practice for about twenty minutes.

Just getting used to how the controls function will make

your first attempt at working with the machine far more

pleasurable, productive and, most important, safe.

Safety Guidelines

Suggested Training for the Beginner

We believe you will find the training procedures an

interesting and very rewarding experience. As you read

through the Operator’s Handbook, you will note that it is

as much a safety guide as it is an instruction manual.

Learning the various functions of the machine in a

programmed order is the most logical approach to becoming

a safe and skilled operator. It will take a little time but it

will undoubtedly be the best investment in time and money

you can make as a new Terramite Street Sweeper operator

and/or owner. Only when the operator has mastered the

controls of the machine and is in full command of its

capabilities will the owner fully realize the rewards of his

investment. Only after the operator has full knowledge of

the safety considerations of the Terramite Street Sweeper,

which are covered in this handbook, should he be allowed

to operator the machine.

Do I Need an Instructor?

At this point, it is only natural that there be some concern

as to whether or not you are taking on something that should

require an instructor. There is bound to be some question

in your mind as to whether you can possibly hurt the

machine or the machine can hurt you. The answer to both

questions is definitely YES, but not likely. As to the machine,

we have designed the Terramite Street Sweeper to protect

itself from exceeding its own limits. As to the operator,

we have made every effort to design and build the

Terramite Street Sweeper with your safety in mind. As to

the beginner, we have no record of anyone being seriously

injured while learning to use a Terramite Street Sweeper

and, to the best of our knowledge, the vast majority have

accomplished it pretty much on their own. However, we

feel the first step is to read the Operator’s Handbook. This

should give you some basis for determining whether you

may need personal instruction. If you feel you do, contact

your local dealer or call Terramite Corporation: 1-800-428-

3772.

We have your Safety in Mind.

Our experience would indicate that most beginners just

climb aboard and start pushing controls. Although it says

something about how easy it is to operate the Terramite

Street Sweeper, it completely ignores the safety aspects

of operating the machines. Even if you have someone

assisting you in learning to operate the Terramite Street

Service Operations

Sweeper, you will have no way of knowing to what degree

they have prepared you as to the safety considerations of

the machine. READ THE HANDBOOK! It may not

cover every situation, but it covers those we believe to be

most important.

An Excellent Safety Record

In our constant reference to safety, we are well aware that

we are creating a false impression that the Terramite Street

Sweeper is a dangerous machine to operate. Regardless,

our continuous emphasis on safety is intentional, in the hope

of making you a safety minded operator. The Terramite

Street Sweeper has an excellent safety record, but as with

a powerful automobile in the wrong hands, it can be very

dangerous. Like the automobile, it is mostly a matter of

knowledge, attitude and respect for your own safety and

the safety of others that determines the degree of risk.

Driving the Terramite Street Sweeper

Note: Throughout this publication the word “drive” will

mean to operate the Terramite Street Sweeper from one

place to another. “Operate” will refer to all other functions.

Pre-Operation Inspection

Before starting the engine, check the fuel as well as the

engine and hydraulic oil levels, then made a walk-around

inspection to determine that everything appears normal.

The most important single thing you can do to increase the

life of the Terramite Street Sweeper is to properly lubricate

the pivot pins. When new, the pivot pins should be lubricated

every fours hours the first 20 hours, and every eight hours

thereafter. If you are going to haul the Terramite Street

Sweeper to a job, it is usually a good idea to perform the

pre-operation inspection before leaving for the job site.

This should include starting the engine and testing each

control of the Terramite Street Sweeper as well as driving

the Terramite Street Sweeper forward and backward. Do

not operate the Terramite Street Sweeper if you believe

that there might be a problem. Some minor problems can

become major problems if not attended to.

Hydraulic Pressure Considerations

As this may be your first experience with a machine that

functions primarily through hydraulic pressure, it is

imperative that you be aware of the danger of putting your

hands close to any part of the hydraulic components of the

machine while the engine is running or within two minutes

after being shut down. Be aware that escaping fluid under

pressure can be sufficient force to penetrate the skin,

causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very

small hole can be almost invisible. Therefore, we

recommend that you wear heavy work clothes that will

fully cover your body, leather work gloves and safety eye

protection when placing your hands around or near hydraulic

lines or fittings while under pressure. If you suspect a

leak, it can be quickly detected using a piece of cardboard

or wood. If injured by escaping fluid, go to the Emergency

Room of the nearest hospital. Be certain to inform them

that this type of injury can cause serious infection or a

reaction such as gangrene. If there is no hospital in the

area, call a physician immediately.

Being Mentally Prepared

Now, before attempting to operate the machine, read

through the following paragraphs involving driving the

Terramite Street Sweeper and be sure you have a good

mental picture of just what you are about to do and how

you will do it. Please note that our only goal in this first

session is for you to become familiar with the feel of driving

a Terramite Street Sweeper and using its' controls.

The Hydraulic Transmission

The Terramite Street Sweeper is a very simple machine to

operate but somewhat different than driving a car or truck.

This is because everything on a Terramite Street Sweeper

is driven by hydraulic pumps. The movements of the

broom head, the power steering and even the drive wheels

are the result of hydraulic pressure developed by these

pumps. The pump is driven by the diesel engine. The

drive wheels are powered by a hydrostatic transmission.

This transmission is a fluid drive device that provides

variable flow at a constant RPM from the engine to develop

the range of driving speeds used in performing the

Terramite Street Sweeper’s tasks. Only when you wish

to bring the Terramite Street Sweeper up to its maximum

road speed or maximum sweeping power will you need to

increase the engine RPM. For most work, all we do is set

the throttle at about 3/4 power, or a little less, and leave it.

The ground speed and direction of the Terramite Street

Sweeper is controlled by the hydrostatic transmission and

Forward/Neutral/Reverse valve.

Just a Little Does It

By lightly depressing the foot pedal we develop maximum

torque, which develops power like the low gear of a manual

Service Operations

transmission in a truck. As we depress the foot pedal

further, the engine RPM remains about the same, but the

Terramite Street Sweeper picks up speed over the ground.

The big difference between driving the Terramite Street

Sweeper and a truck is that if you want power to start up

a hill, you need only depress the foot pedal about a third of

the way forward, not to the floor. If you want speed, you

start off with a small amount of pedal and keep increasing

as the speed builds up and the required torque decreases.

No Gear Shift

When the drive pedal is in neutral position, it’s like applying

a brake. Anytime the engine tends to slow, let up on the

pedal a little. You have to experience it to appreciate it.

Although somewhat different in its control, the hydrostatic

transmission is very easy to use and very forgiving. It

takes only minutes to get used to, and is simpler to use

than an automatic transmission in an automobile.

Some “Don’ts”

Excessive RPM can damage the engine and make the

controls overly responsive. Do not change the relief valve

settings. They are factory set for best machine

performance. Do not go from forward to reverse or reverse

to forward without pausing at neutral. It may damage the

drive train.

Getting Started

Now we are ready to get aboard. Make certain that there

is no oil on the steps, which might cause you to slip and

fall. Your seat may be adjusted to different positions by

pulling the lever located under the seat on the right. Before

starting the engine, be sure to fasten your seat belt.

Terramite Corporation believes that a seat belt should be

worn at all times.

Some Never, Never, Nevers

Never use the Terramite Street Sweeper for a job it wasn’t

intended to do. Never use any other part of the machine

as work platform or a personnel carrier. Never allow

anyone to be under, or even close to the broom or any part

of the sweeper. Never touch the hydraulic components

when, or right after, the machine has been working. They

reach temperatures in excess of 200 degrees and can give

you a severe burn.

Slow Down, Speed Kills

Be particularly alert when backing or working in crowded

areas. Always operate the Terramite Street Sweeper at a

safe speed, keeping in mind your safety and that of any

other people working in the area.

Not Too Much at One Time

As a beginner, this practice will require your total

concentration. Therefore, while learning to use the street

sweeper, we recommend that you do not put in over half

an hour of practice without a half-hour break. Confusion

and panic can be brought on from mental exhaustion, which

can occur very rapidly until the use of the controls becomes

a somewhat automatic reaction. Long sessions, requiring

extreme concentration, can be potentially dangerous.

Working on a Slope (Use Extreme

Caution)

Now we will cover one of the most important considerations

in operating the Terramite Street Sweeper. Naturally, you

will be working on some degree of ground slope much of

the time unless you live in very flat country. We feel it is

extremely important that we impress upon you just how

treacherous a slope can be when using this machine,

particularly under certain conditions. If you operate on a

hillside that is slippery and/or steep enough that there is

any question that the Terramite Street Sweeper will not be

able to maintain braking action, you will be taking your life

in your own hands. Unless you are absolutely sure that

you can accomplish the work without risk, do not attempt

it. A slick surface, such as dry leaves on even a slight

grade, may cause your rear tires to slide out of control

without any braking action whatsoever.

Emergency Procedures

Before working a hazardous area such as a hillside, take

time to consider every possible problem you might

encounter. Be sure you are mentally prepared for any

situation and know exactly what you might do in an

emergency. Remember, panic is your worst enemy, and

panic usually comes when you are caught completely off

guard and unprepared. Safety conscious operators run

through emergency procedures before operating under any

conditions that give them concern.

Service Operations

When Operating the Street Sweeper

First Aid and Fire. Keep a fire extinguisher and a first aid

kit nearby and know how to use them.

Loose Clothing. Never take chances by wearing loose

clothing, watches or rings. Keep clothing and hands away

from moving parts.

Only Room for One. When in operation, only the operator

should be permitted on the machine.

Mounting the Machine. Always mount your machine

from the side. Put one foot on the machine at a time. Never

mount from the rear or while the engine is running. Before

you start the engine, always fasten the seat belt. When in

operation, do not jump either on or off the machine. Never

mount or dismount a moving machine.

Starting the Terramite Street Sweeper. Do not attempt

to start or operate the Terramite Street Sweeper except

from the operator’s station. Never operate the controls from

the ground, as this could result in serious injury or even death.

Prevent Accidental Starting. Disconnect the negative

wire from the battery. Put a Lock Out Tag on the machine

while being serviced. Remove key.

Other Battery Considerations. Do not use the battery

charger as a booster to start the engine. Never disconnect

Hazards and Hazardous Areas

Approved Container. Always use an approved container

when handling and storing diesel fuel or solvents.

When Loading Fuel. Never fill the fuel tank while

smoking, when near an open flame or with the engine

running. Leave room for fuel expansion, 1-1/2 to 2 inches.

Replace fuel cap securely.

Cleaning Parts. Never use gasoline or diesel fuel for

cleaning parts. Always use a nonflammable solvent.

Overhead Wires. Watch for overhead wires and cables.

Never touch the wires with any part of the machine. If

you contact an electric line, stay on your machine until

help arrives, if you are not being shocked. If you have to

jump from the machine, make sure you are not touching

the machine as you hit the ground.

Two Men, if Possible. When working in hazardous areas,

be extremely alert. If possible, two men should work

together, one operating the machine and the other directing

him and watching for dangers. Develop a hand signal

system or use hand signals shown on page 1.4.

Unventilated Area. Never operate the Terramite Street

Sweeper in an unventilated area. Carbon monoxide and

methane gas are colorless and odorless.

Explosion. Sparks can come out of the muffler or the

electrical system. Do not operate the machine in areas

where there are flammable vapors or dusts that are of the

nature that would cause an explosion.

the battery when the engine is running. Never attempt to

charge a frozen battery. An explosion may occur.

Operating at Excessive Speed. Operating unit at

excessive speeds increases the danger of personal injury.

Do not change the governor setting or tamper with

components which may increase speed.

Excessive Hydraulic Pressure. Do not raise the hydraulic

pressure beyond 2200 PSI. Components may become

overloaded and break, causing serious injury. This also

shortens the life of your machine.

Excessive Tire Pressure. Never exceed maximum

recommended tire pressure, as serious injury or even death

may result.

Relief Valve Settings. Do not change the relief valve

settings. They are factory set for the best machine

performance and safety. If it becomes necessary to adjust

this setting, refer to the Terramite Street Sweeper Service

Manual for the proper procedure.

Parking Machine. Always park your machine on level

ground with parking brake engaged.

Prevent Fire. Be cautious of fire when operating in dry,

dead grass or brush.

Transporting the Street Sweeper with a Trailer

General Considerations

Proper Towing Equipment. It is important that you use

a truck that is capable of towing the trailer and the Terramite

Street Sweeper, and that it is equipped with the proper tie-

down equipment for securing it to the trailer. When on a

road or highway, at night or during the day, use accessory

lights and an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign for adequate

warning to other drivers. In this regard, check state and

local regulations.

Do Not Wrap Chains Around Cylinder Rods.

This may scar or bend them.

MAXIMUM TOWING SPEED WITH A

TRAILER IS 60 MPH

Trailer Size and Type

The trailer you select should have a load carrying capacity

of at least 7000 pounds with a tandem axle, and at least 14

feet long. You will need to check with State authorities as

to whether electric or hydraulic surge brakes are permitted.

Loading Can Be Tricky

After setting the truck’s emergency brake and blocking

the wheels of the truck and the trailer, drive the machine

slowly onto the trailer. Keep in mind that the weight of the

Terramite Street Sweeper going onto the trailer may raise

the rear of the truck off the ground, causing the truck,

trailer and Terramite Street Sweeper to roll forward.

Driving onto a tilt bed trailer can also be very tricky as the

trailer bed will likely slam down, tending to make you

overcompensate by going backwards, thus causing the

trailer to seesaw back and forth.

Securing the Terramite Street

Sweeper to a Trailer

Once the Terramite Street Sweeper is positioned on the trailer,

block each side of the front and rear tires. Using chains, bind

it to the trailer. There are binding rings welded onto the frame

under the engine and on the front. Always put the binders

toward the front and the rear, never straight out. The machine

may shift if the binders are placed at 90 degree angles.

Measure the height of the machine on the trailer so you will

know the minimum height under which you can pass.

CAUTION!

Always place the load binder handles on the right so you

can tighten them down without exposing yourself to oncoming

traffic. It is good practice to use a piece of tie wire to keep

the handle from flying up. Be careful if you use a cheater

bar to lock binders down. Fingers have been broken when

the binder flings over center. A ratchet binder is the best,

followed by over center binders. Come alongs are not very

safe due to their poor construction. Make sure all loose

items are secured. Be sure to check tightness after you

start, and periodically as you travel, as the load may shift.

Towing Considerations for the

Terramite Street Sweeper

At highway speeds, if there is too much weight on the

back of the trailer, it may suddenly and without notice start

whipping violently back and forth. This can be very

dangerous and is caused by not having enough weight on

the tongue. It can be corrected by properly positioning the

Terramite Street Sweeper on the trailer. Too far forward

may produce more weight than the hitch or even the truck

can handle; whereas, too far back can be dangerous, as

described above. It is a good idea to go to a weigh station,

and after determining the best position, mark where to park

the wheels. You must also be careful as to just where you

place any additional cargo you may take along. Most trailer

manufacturers recommend that 10% of the weight be on

the tongue.

CAUTION!

Test the braking capabilities of the truck and trailer

combination on the first clear stretch of road. Most brake

controllers can engage the trailer brakes independently of

the towing vehicle’s brakes. This feature can be used to

help straighten out a skid.

Safe Towing Practices

SAFETY FIRST! Always maintain extra distance from

the vehicles in front of you and allow extra room when

turning corners. Make lane changes slowly to keep the

load from shifting, and let other drivers, who may be in

your blind spot, get out of your way. Periodically check

your trailer and safety equipment. Remember, you are

towing the equivalent of a small pickup truck behind you.

CAUTION!

Safe Towing Practices

SAFETY FIRST! Always maintain extra distance from

the vehicles in front of you and allow extra room when

turning corners. Make lane changes slowly, and let other

drivers, who may be in your blind spot, get out of your

way. Periodically check your sweeper and safety

equipment. Remember, you are towing the equivalent of a

small pickup truck behind you.

Towing the Street Sweeper

General Considerations

Proper Towing Equipment. It is important that you use

a truck that is capable of towing the sweeper. When on a

road or highway, at night or during the day, use accessory

lights and an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign for adequate

warning to other drivers. In this regard, check state and

local regulations.

Do Not Wrap Chains Around Cylinder Rods.

This may scar or bend them.

MAXIMUM TOWING SPEED IS 60 MPH

Attaching Sweeper To Towing Truck

1. Park truck on level ground, turn off engine, and set

parking brake.

2. Drive sweeper near truck. Turn off sweeper engine,

set sweeper parking brake (See Figures 1 & 2).

3. Remove tow bar upper locking pin (See Figure 3)

and place tow bar in line with sweeper (See Figure

4). Re-attach tow bar upper locking pin, making

sure its secure

WARNING!

To prevent injury have someone assist in the removal of

the tow bar upper locking pin and lowering of the tow bar.
