DUST SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
The dust suppression system limits the amount of
dust in the air around the machine while operating and
aids in the sweeping process. The system has an air
compressor, water tank and spray nozzle as the main
components of the system. The water tank should
be lled before operating the system and checked
periodically during operation to make sure there is
water for the spray nozzle. The system is controlled
by the dust suppression system rocker switch. When
this switch is moved to the on position the compressor
will start and continue to run. There are two solenoids
with the system one for the water and one for the
compressed air. Both solenoids also turn on when
the rocker switch is pressed on, which allows the air
and water to come out of the spray nozzle in a ne
mist pattern in front of the side broom. The spray
nozzle is set at the factory so no adjustment should be
necessary.
