This handbook should be carefully studied. In it you will find instructions for the operation and
maintenance of your Johnston Sweeper.
It is vitally important that the operator and maintenance staff have a copy of this book. The life
of the machine will depend upon following these instructions in respect of regular maintenance
and correct operating methods.
It is important that only genuine Johnston spare parts are used when servicing and maintaining
the sweeper. This is especially important for consumables, filters etc, as the use of non-genuine
parts may cause premature failure and invalidation of warranty.
When carrying out maintenance or part replacement, additional explanatory illustrations may be
found in the Parts Manual, which shows and lists hardware, and availability of spares with the
orientation and positions of the various components.

Driving and Safety Precautions



The drive foot pedal (J3) with its inching feature, propels the vehicle when
depressed and enables braking when released. Extra care MUST be exercised with
this control on tight turning manoeuvres, during acceleration, when slowing down
and during transit mode.

The steering control provides for extreme manoeuvrability with a non-reactive

steering feel, therefore care MUST be exercised in transit mode to resist moving
the steering wheel with erratic movements.

ALWAYS reduce vehicle speed before making any sharp turns.

Exercise extra care when traversing inclines or ramps.

DO NOT drive the vehicle with the hopper in the raised position.

Ensure transmission column switch (H2a) is in neutral and the handbrake (F1a) is
on when the machine is left unattended with the engine running.

Ensure that the hopper safety props are used at ALL TIMES whilst the hopper is in
the raised position.

Essential Daily Check List

Before operating the vehicle for either sweeping or driving, ensure that the following list of
checks are carried out. These checks may be carried out by opening the rear door of the
machine.

Engine and Transmission

Ensure 1.

The engine is filled to the correct level with approved engine oil. Top up if necessary
with an SAE 10W/40 multigrade oil.

2.

There is sufficient diesel fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel should be to BS 2869 and can
contain up to 5% bio diesel.

3.

The cooling system is full and protected by antifreeze to the correct strength, 50%
concentration. Top up via the radiator header tank to the maximum level.

4.

Suction Nozzle Operation and Settings
Operation of the suction nozzle is in conjunction with the brushes when depressing G10 or G12.
If the fan and nozzle only is required, then this can be achieved with fan only switch in
conjunction with G1 to lower the nozzle. The nozzle is always lifted automatically when reverse
gear is selected or when the sweep selector switch is returned to the central position (pressing
Powathrust pedal (J1) holds nozzle on ground when reversing).
It is also possible to lift the nozzle using the nozzle hop control during the sweeping operation
for ingestion of bulky objects or when leaf sweeping. If leaf flap option is fitted this can also be
used to allow bulky objects or leaves to be ingested into the nozzle.
For effective operation and thorough cleansing, the setting of the nozzle gap to the road surface
is very important. The setting is the distance between the road surface and the suction head
slide. The air gap should be between 5 - 10 mm. Adjustment of this gap should be done with
the nozzle standing on a level surface and is made by raising or lowering the three wheels/skids
that the nozzle runs on.

Suction Nozzle Adjustment

The adjustment is carried out by lowering

the nozzle onto the 3 height setting anvils
provided, then releasing the adjusting bolts
and adjusting the nozzle to the desired
height.

A = Setting Anvil
B = Height Adjustment

Note: The rubber tongue in the suction

nozzle must also be in good condition,
along with the retaining strap which locates
at the rear edge of the tongue. If the tongue
is torn in anyway it may affect the suction
performance of the machine.

excess water using dump valve lever (F1b) whilst positioned over a drain. The CANview
screen will display a recirculation water level high icon.

Sweeping in Dry Conditions

1.

Prior to sweeping, ensure the recirculation water tank is full and the hopper is filled with 100
- 200 mm of water. This can be checked by looking through the hopper door. It will not be
necessary to use the dump valve lever (F1b) under these conditions.

2.

In dry conditions use the water sprays (E9) to prevent dust being generated by rotating
brushes.

Sweeping Bulky Materials/Leaves

1.

The nozzle hop control (G2) may be used to ingest bulky materials, cans and boxes or
during the leaf sweeping season to aid the pick up of leaves.

2.

When leaf sweeping, a slower brush speed should be used. Position brushes as desired,
some machines may have the adjustable leaf lifter flap option fitted.

3.

Once section is cleared, return nozzle to normal position by pressing (G1) and sweep over
area again. Use leaf flap* if fitted.

To Stop Sweeping
1.

Press sweep off switch (G11) to cancel fan, brushes, water sprays and to return sweep gear
to stowed position.

Blocked Nozzle or Nozzle Duct
1.

With the machine stationary and the nozzle and suction operating, open the adjustable leaf
flap nozzle (if fitted) to increase the airflow and see if the obstruction clears.

2.

If not, again with the nozzle and suction operating raise and lower the nozzle and see if
the blockage clears.

3.

If still blocked, switch off the engine, open the hopper door and check that the mesh
screens are clear of debris and that the hopper is not full.

4.

If the mesh screens are blocked, clean them and providing the hopper is not full return the
machine to service and check the nozzle performance.

5.

If the hopper is full the machine should be emptied at the nearest waste site.

6.

If the screens are clear, the hopper not full and debris is still not being picked up, it may
be that the nozzle trunking or inlet tube is blocked.

7.

With the vehicle parked on level ground, carefully raise the hopper and rest it on the
hopper prop position. Switch off the vehicle engine.

8.

Inspect the nozzle trunking and inlet tube. Using the two piece hoe if available or a suitable
size broom handle or rod, clear any debris. When the ducts are clear, restart engine, lower
the hopper and return the machine to service.

N.B. Adequate use of water from the brush mounted sprays and the recirculation water
system lubricates the hoses and ducts and helps reduce blockages

End Of Day Routine
Cleansing may be effected using a steam cleaning unit or the high pressure washer (option).
1.

Ensure all doors and windows are shut and the hydraulic oil and fuel filler caps are secure.

2.

Clean out hopper mesh screen, recirculating screens and sludge drainage channels.

3.

Remove recirculation water tank filter and open dump valve using cab control lever (F1b).
Clean tank thoroughly.

4.

Clean out internal bore of suction hose, suction nozzle and channel brushes.

5.

Generally clean down the exterior of the machine.

At the end of the cleaning operation close the tank dump valve and refill the tank ready for the
next day or shift. At this stage run the recirculation water pump for a few seconds to flush some
clean water through the pump and into the inlet duct to clean the system.

Rear Grille / Working Platform

The rear grille / working platform below the radiator hinges up and is secured by pushing in
towards the cab at a 45 degree angle. Lowering the grille will lock it into the working position.
Please note! Ensure that both pins are engaged correctly before accessing the platform. A
working platform is created by opening out the centre section of the grille to allow viewing of the
interior of the hopper. The platform may also aid removal of the rear mesh baskets, cleaning and
inspection tasks. To lower grille, stow the centre section then lift the grille at a 45 degree angle
and pull backwards to disengage the latch. Lower the grill until it is secured onto the magnetic
catches.

Sweeping in Cold Temperatures
Operating temperature 0C to +5C
For sweeping in cold conditions around freezing point e.g. early in the morning in frosty
conditions, it is possible to use the two water systems on the machine. It is preferable however
to either fill the tanks with warm water or fill them as normal and leave the machine in a heated
garage overnight.
The recirculation system will function as normal as the water to a certain extent will be heated
by the hydraulic oil cooler located within the tank. The water sprays to the brushes can also be
used as normal, provided there is no danger of icing from the water sprayed onto the road.

Operating temperature 0C to -5C

Do not use or fill the water spray system for the brushes. Dust suppression can still be effected
using the recirculation system. This should be filled with warm water or filled and left in a heated
garage overnight to warm the water.

Operating temperature -5C to -15C

It is possible to use the machine for short periods with both water tanks dry. However, some dust
will be exhausted from the machine and premature wear may be experienced on some
components.
Note: Do not operate the machine dry with an empty recirculation tank for extended periods as
this could lead to overheating of the hydraulic oil.

High Pressure Washer

Safety Precautions


Care MUST be taken not to damage sign written areas when cleaning.

ALWAYS keep pressure equipment in good condition and regularly maintained,

particularly at joints and unions.

The use of safety goggles is recommended in case of deflected spray/debris.

NEVER direct a high pressure nozzle at the skin as the fluid may penetrate the
underlying tissue etc. and cause serious injury.

The high pressure washer may be used to clean down the vehicle at the end of a shift or days
work. The unit is operated using the dash mounted rocker switch, ensuring the sweep controls
are in the neutral position and the machine is in work mode.
The handlance and reel are mounted between the rear of the cab and the hopper. Two jets are
provided in the nozzle, a fan spray jet and a pencil jet. To change between the jets, the trigger
should be released and the gun rotated through 180, this will automatically select the alternative
jet.

Frost Precautions
In cold weather, with the possibility of freezing temperatures, the water system should be drained
to prevent freezing up when leaving the machine outside overnight. The recirculation tank can
be drained by operating the dump valve by way of the cab controlled lever. This action will drain
all water from the system including the pump and hose. The lost water spray system can be
drained using each of the drain valves located at the front of each tank.
When empty, the clean water pump and hoses should be drained by operating the pump for a
short period of time, If the optional high pressure washer pump is fitted, it is essential to drain
the pump hose reel and gun, again by operating the pump for a short period of time until the
system is purged of water.
Note : DO NOT run the high pressure pump dry for excessive periods.

J-Plex - The Johnston Sweeper Control System
J-Plex is an electronic road sweeper control system which uses multiplex technology to enable
multiple control signals to be combined into one common signal which can then be transmitted
and received down a pair of wires (serial communication). This eliminates a substantial number
of wires and connections from the vehicle's electrical system, which in turn reduces the size of
wiring harnesses and increases reliability. Wiring from Input/Output (I/O) devices such as
switches or hydraulic valves is via a local I/O collecting module called a node. On the C200
range of sweepers, the J-Plex control system consists of a CANview screen and 4 remote I/O
nodes mounted around the sweeper. The CANview acts as the master control unit and
communicates between each external node via the two-wire control network. Each external
node requires only a power supply to achieve the required functionality.
CANview provides:-

The operator interface with the powerful diagnostic features provided by J-Plex.
The ability to check the status of Inputs and Outputs.
Information about the vehicle - speed, fuel tank contents, etc.
Sweeper performance data - hours sweeping, distance travelled, etc.

J-Plex is in constant communication with MegaJET, the transmission controller. MegaJET

receives signals from the accelerator pedal and sensors within the truck and adjusts
engine/hydrostatic transmission settings accordingly. J-Plex diagnostic capability extends to
MegaJET.

Safety Precautions

Safety Notice
DO NOT


Work on or around the engine whilst it is running except to adjust idle settings.

Remove coolant bottle cap when the engine is hot without first covering the cap with
a cloth. Release the cap slowly, otherwise there is a risk of being scalded by
escaping coolant.

Touch any part of the engine exhaust system without first allowing it to cool
sufficiently.

Drain engine oil until it has cooled, to avoid scalding.

Work under a vehicle supported by a jack before lowering the vehicle onto sturdy
axle stands or similar.

Disconnect hydraulic or water pipes whilst the engine is running.

Approach fan inlet whilst the fan is running.

ALWAYS


Ensure the machine is standing on firm, level ground and there are no obstructions
above or to the rear before raising the hopper.

Ensure that the hopper is resting on the hopper prop, or extended maintenance
prop, before working underneath the raised hopper - See Maintenance Section of the
Technical Manual.

Keep hands, loose clothing, hair etc. well clear of moving parts.

Use approved safety platforms/gantries when working above ground level. Get a
second person to check periodically when only one person is working on access
equipment or inside the body.

Disconnect the vehicle battery and all the CANbus nodes when working on the
electrical system or when carrying out any welding on the vehicle. Failure to
observe this can cause damage to the nodes.

Remove ignition key when working on the vehicle. Ensure all personnel are clear of
the vehicle before restarting engine.

Ensure all guards and covers are refitted after servicing.

Hydraulic Reservoir
Oil level checking - the correct method for checking the oil in the hydraulic reservoir is with the
hopper lowered. The oil level should fill the centre window of the tank level gauge and just be
visible in the top window.

Air Cleaner
The air cleaner should only be serviced between maintenance schedules if the CANview display
shows the filter requires servicing, if this occurs dust must be cleaned out of the body (G).
Open rear door of machine to access air
cleaner.
Release for retaining clips and remove
cover.
Withdraw the main element from the air
cleaner body.
It will be noted that the smaller secondary
element (safety element) housed within the
body is not usually removed during
periodical servicing, it ensures that dust
cannot enter the engine in the event of main
filter damage.

C2OG. 044

The safety element should be changed every third time the main element is serviced. Inspect
the clean element for damage by placing a bright light inside and looking through the element.
Any thin spots, pin holes or other damage will render the element unfit for further use.
Clean the inside of the filter body, do not use petrol.
Inspect all joints and hoses for leaks, renew where necessary.
Reassemble the cleaner ensuring all joints are leakproof.
