Broce Manufacturing Road Construction Sweeper RCT350

Is the element coated with oil or soot?

If the element is coated with oil or soot, follow the steps below:

Wash in a solution of warm water and filter element cleaner (equal to R36571 Filter Element Cleaner).

Let the element soak at least 15 minutes, then agitate gently to flush out dirt.

Rinse the element thoroughly from the inside with clean water. Use an element cleaning gun or a free running hose. Keep the pressure under 40 PSI to avoid damage to the element.

Allow the element to dry completely before using. This usually takes from one to three days. DO NOT oven-dry or use drying agents. Protect element from freezing until dry.

If the element is damaged, discard it. If not, proceed to the next step.

A well maintained A/C system would save on downtime and premature component failures.

Weekly inspections or every 2 days in severe environments should include:

Inspect compressor clutch drive belts (tightness, wear)

Inspect compressor-mounting brackets (bolts, alignment)

Inspect mounting hardware on evaporator unit and condensers

Inspect air intake filter. Clean or replace filter

Inspect evaporator and condenser coils. Clean using air pressure. (DO NOT USE WATER OR PRESSURE WASHER)

Inspect hose and wire harness for proper routing. Leaks and wear

Warning: Do not operate the machine with faulty brakes. This will put the operation in extreme danger and could cause bodily injury and property damage.

If the pedal feels 'spongy', there may be air in one or more of the brake lines and must be serviced prior to operating this machine.

Check the fluid level in the master cylinder.

Inspect brake lines for leaks and/or damage.

Replace front and rear brake hoses.

Inspect mechanical parking brake linkage for proper adjustment, routing and/or damage.

Warning: The air cleaner is one of the most important components of this machine. Due to the extremely dusty conditions in which this machine operates, the air cleaner must be maintained constantly. If the air cleaner is not serviced properly, the machine’s engine life will be reduced.

This machine is equipped with a dry type air cleaner, bowl type pre-cleaner, and a restriction type service indicator as standard equipment.

Under normal conditions, the air cleaner will need to be serviced every three to four hours. When the clear ring on the Service Indicator turns red, the air cleaner must be serviced immediately.

If the machine is equipped with a dual element air cleaner, DO NOT remove the safety element until you are ready to replace it!

DO NOT attempt to clean the safety element! It is strictly a disposable type element.

Caution: When using compressed air, clear the area of bystanders, guard against flying debris, and wear personal protection equipment including eye protection.

Caution: Do not attempt to clean the radiator or heat exchanger while the engine is running. If hands or equipment come in contact with spinning fan blades, serious injury will result. Engine must be completely stopped.

Due to the dusty conditions in which this machine operates, the heat exchanger and radiator must be cleaned every 4 to 8 hours of service, depending upon sweeping conditions. If either one becomes clogged with dirt, it will overload the cooling capacity of the other, causing both the engine and hydraulic system to operate at higher than acceptable temperatures. Use water or compressed air directed from the engine side of the radiator to remove dirt build up.
