2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT: This is a precision machine and the service obtained from it depends on the way it is operated

and maintained.

This SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL should be regarded as part of the machine. Suppliers of both new

and second-hand machines are advised to retain documentary evidence that this manual was provided with

the machine.

This machine is designed solely for use in customary sweeping operations. Use in any other way is

considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of

operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer, also constitute essential elements of the

intended use.

Before attempting to operate this machine, ALL operators MUST read through this manual and make

themselves thoroughly conversant with Safety Instructions, controls, lubrication and maintenance.

Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognized regulations on safety and occupational

medicine, and all road traffic regulations shall be observed at all times. Before operators are permitted to

use this machine, ensure that they meet the local motor vehicle drivers license regulations.

Any arbitrary modifications carried out on this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any

resulting damage or injury.

SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL

3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This safety symbol indicates important safety

messages in this manual. When you see this

symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury, carefully

read the message that follows, and inform other

operators.

3.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 Ensure that the instructions in this book

are read and fully understood.

 No person should be allowed to operate

this machine unless they are fully

acquainted with all the controls and the

safety procedures.

 Never allow children or people unfamiliar

with these instructions to use this

machine. Local regulations may restrict

the age of the operator.

3.2 SAFETY SIGNS

 It is essential all safety labels are kept

legible, if they are missing or illegible they

must be replaced. If any part of the

machine is replaced and it originally

carried a safety label, a new label must be

affixed to the replacement part. New

safety labels are obtainable from

Ransomes dealers.

3.3 STARTING THE ENGINE

 Before starting the engine check that the

brakes are applied, drives are in neutral,

guards are in position and intact, and

bystanders are clear of the machine.

 Do not run the engine in a building without

adequate ventilation.

3.4 DRIVING THE MACHINE

 Before moving the machine, check to

ensure that all parts are in good working

order, paying particular attention to

brakes, tyres, and the brushes.

 Replace faulty silencers, sweep only in

daylight or good artificial light

 Always observe the Highway Code both

on and off the roads. Keep alert and

aware at all times. Watch out for traffic

when crossing or near roadways.

 Stop the brushes rotating and lift them

before crossing surfaces other than the

area to be swept.

 Remember that some people are deaf

or blind and that children and animals

can be unpredictable.

 Keep travelling speeds low enough for

an emergency stop to be effective and

safe at all times, in any conditions.

 Remove or avoid obstructions in the

area to be swept, thus reducing the

possibility of injury to yourself and/or

bystanders.

 When reversing, take special care to

ensure that the area behind is clear of

obstructions and/or bystanders. DO

NOT carry passengers.

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards

occurring to other people or their

property.

 After striking a foreign object, inspect

the sweeper for damage and make

repairs before restarting and operating

the equipment.

 If the machine starts to vibrate

abnormally, check immediately.

3.5 TRANSPORTING

 Ensure that the brushes are securely

fastened in the transport position. Do

not transport with brushes rotating.

 Drive the machine with due

consideration of road and surface

conditions, inclines and local

undulations.

 Sudden acceleration can cause the

machine to become uncontrollable and

in effect be a safety hazard.

GB-5

RANSOMES PATHFINDER I.S.

SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL

3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.6 LEAVING THE DRIVING POSITION

 Park the machine on level ground.

 Before leaving the driving position, stop the

engine and make sure all moving parts are

stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all

drives. Remove the starter key.

3.7 SLOPES

TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON

SLOPES

 Local undulations and sinkage will change the

general slope. Avoid ground conditions which

can cause the machine to slide.

 Keep machine speeds low on slopes and

during tight turns.

 Sudden acceleration can cause the machine

to become uncontrollable and in effect be a

safety hazard. Remember there is no such

thing as a safe slope.

 Travel on slopes requires particular care.

DO NOT USE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 7°

3.8 BLOCKAGES IN SUCTION

 Stop the engine and make sure all moving

parts are stationary.

 Apply brakes and disengage all drives.

 Release blockages with care.

3.9 ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION AND

MAINTENANCE

 Stop the engine and make sure all moving

parts are stationary.

 Apply brakes and disengage all drives.

 Read all the appropriate servicing

instructions.

 Use only the replacement parts supplied by

the original manufacturer.

 To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer and battery compartments free of

paper, leaves or excessive grease.

 Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

 When working underneath lifted parts or

machines, make sure adequate support Is

provided.

 Do not dismantle the machine without

releasing or restraining forces which can

cause parts to move suddenly.

 Do not alter engine speed above maximum

quoted in Engine Specification. Do not

change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine. Operating the engine

at excessive speed may increase the hazard

of personal injury.

 When refuelling, STOP THE ENGINE, DO

NOT SMOKE. Add fuel before starting the

engine, never add fuel while the engine is

running.

 Use a funnel when pouring fuel from a can

into the tank.

 Do not fill the fuel tank beyond the bottom of

the filler neck.

 Replace all fuel tank and container caps

securely.

 Store fuel in containers specifically designed

for this purpose.

 Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while

refuelling.

 If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the

engine but move the machine away from the

area of spillage and avoid creating any source

of ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated.

 Allow the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

 Never store the equipment with fuel in the

tank inside a building where fumes may reach

an open flame or spark.

 If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should

be done outdoors.

 Do not spill fuel onto hot components.

 When servicing batteries, DO NOT SMOKE,

and keep naked lights away.

 Do not place any metal objects across the

terminals.
