How to Drive an Electric Sweeper? Quick Operation Guide

Electric sweepers are widely used in parks, schools, pedestrian streets, and factories. Common types include three-wheel ride-on, four-wheel ride-on, and walk-behind models. While models vary, the basic driving steps are similar.

Pre-Operation Checklist:

  • Check the machine for any visible damage;

  • Ensure the dustbin hooks are secure, and bolts, brakes, and indicator lights are functioning properly;

  • Fill the water tank and make sure the battery voltage is above 42V—charge if needed;

  • Check that side brushes are clean and rotate freely;

  • Avoid bumps or obstacles—raise the main brush if needed to prevent damage.

 

Operating Steps:

  1. Turn the key switch clockwise to power on the machine;

  2. Set the gear to “Drive” and release the handbrake;

  3. Press the accelerator pedal to move forward;

  4. Once in the work area, activate the main brush, side brush, vacuum, and spray functions;

  5. If large debris is encountered, press the front squeegee lift pedal to pass over it;

  6. For high-pressure washing, connect the spray gun and turn on the pressure switch.

Waste Disposal:

  • After cleaning, stop the vehicle and turn off all functions;

  • Open the rear compartment and remove the inner trash bin;

  • Empty the bin into a designated waste area;

  • Keep people clear of the dumping area to avoid accidents.

Safety Tips:

  • Never aim the high-pressure water gun at people;

  • Avoid running the brushes over raised surfaces or obstacles;

  • Regularly check battery level and brush wear to extend machine lifespan.
