1 Highly Efficient Air Conveyance SystemEfficient air flow is the heart of the new Crosswind. How well a sweeperpicks up material is determined by its vacuum source and air routing path.• High volume air flow at high velocities results in exceptional one-pass

pickup and eliminates plugging that can occur in similar type sweepers.• Nine-vane closed face turbine fan is powered by an efficient turbo-

charged diesel auxiliary engine.• Centrifugal dust separator minimizes pressure loss and maximizes

sweep performance and fan life.

High Productivity Sweep SystemThe Crosswind’s wide sweep path picks up debris close to the curb andacross a wide expanse of road.• Large, hydraulically driven, 42 in. (1067 mm) side brooms result in an

extra-wide 12 ft. (3658 mm) sweep path. • Work with brooms fully extended for a wide sweeping path or fully

retracted for powerful scrubbing action in front of the pick-up head.• Optional center broom provides additional digging power in heavy

compact soil conditions.

Superior Water SystemProper use of water is essential for dust suppression, sweeping performanceand longevity of sweep components. • Two heavy-duty, easy-access water pumps–one dedicated exclusively to

the pickup head water system.• Durable polyethylene water tank is removable for service.• Ample water is provided with 16 high-quality, agricultural-grade water

nozzles, all in easy-to-access locations.• Pressure for better water automatization.• Hi-Lo selectable pump speeds.

Simple, Easy-Access MaintenanceThe Crosswind is designed so that systems are readily accessible and easy toservice. • Large fiberglass access doors allow quick inspection without tilting the

hopper. The engine oil can be checked, hydraulic filter changed, pneumatic pressure checked and the fan bearings greased.

• The hydraulic system, including O-ring connectors, are designed forlong life and leak-free operation.

• Waterproof, snap-together electrical connectors and color-coded wireshave stamped identification for quick location during troubleshooting.

How well a street sweeper picks up material is determined by its total cleaning system. The air conveyance, sweeping, water and maintenance systems must work together to achieve maximum sweeping performance. The Crosswind is engineered with superior components that work together as an integrated cleaning system.

extra-wide 12 ft. (3658 mm) sweep path. • Work with brooms fully extended for a wide sweeping path or fully

retracted for powerful scrubbing action in front of the pick-up head.• Optional center broom provides additional digging power in heavy

compact soil conditions.

Superior Water SystemProper use of water is essential for dust suppression, sweeping performanceand longevity of sweep components. • Two heavy-duty, easy-access water pumps–one dedicated exclusively to

the pickup head water system.• Durable polyethylene water tank is removable for service.• Ample water is provided with 16 high-quality, agricultural-grade water

nozzles, all in easy-to-access locations.• Pressure for better water automatization.• Hi-Lo selectable pump speeds.

Simple, Easy-Access MaintenanceThe Crosswind is designed so that systems are readily accessible and easy toservice. • Large fiberglass access doors allow quick inspection without tilting the

hopper. The engine oil can be checked, hydraulic filter changed, pneumatic pressure checked and the fan bearings greased.

• The hydraulic system, including O-ring connectors, are designed forlong life and leak-free operation.

• Waterproof, snap-together electrical connectors and color-coded wireshave stamped identification for quick location during troubleshooting.

1 Highly Efficient Air Conveyance SystemEfficient air flow is the heart of the new Crosswind. How well a sweeperpicks up material is determined by its vacuum source and air routing path.• High volume air flow at high velocities results in exceptional one-pass

pickup and eliminates plugging that can occur in similar type sweepers.• Nine-vane closed face turbine fan is powered by an efficient turbo-

charged diesel auxiliary engine.• Centrifugal dust separator minimizes pressure loss and maximizes

sweep performance and fan life.
