Hopper Down Proximity Switch
The Pro Sweep 5200 uses a proximity switch as an inter-
lock device to prevent brush operation (rotation) when
the dump hopper is raised. This switch is normally open
and closes when the pitch frame moves the switch cam
near the target end of the switch (dump hopper low-
ered). The switch is mounted on the main sweeper
frame (Fig. 10).

When the switch cam is positioned away from the tar-
get end of the switch (dump hopper raised) (Fig. 11),
there should be no continuity across the switch termi-
nals.
IMPORTANT: Proper proximity switch operation re-
quires aluminum switch spacer that positions the
switch away from the sweeper frame. If switch is re-
moved from machine, make sure that switch spacer
is installed between switch and frame.
