Unique Trailing Arm Side BroomsGreaseless trailing arms provide special4-way action to closely follow roadcontours, while providing inward motion

safety for obstacles. Digging pressure isadjustable in cab. Brooms can be extendedoutward for maximum sweep path, orfully retracted for scrubbing action infront of the pick-up head. Spray nozzlesattach directly to broom.

Compact DesignMounts on short wheelbases ofconventional or cab-over chassis. Enablesextremely tight turning radius, for betterreach in cul-de-sac sweeping, and greatermaneuverability around tight corners.

High Capacity/Efficient LoadingLarge 240 gallon (908 L) water tank and8 cu. yard (6 m3) hopper capacities forextended sweeping time and maximumproductivity. Abrasion-resistant steel inletdeflector directs debris flow to center ofhopper, ensuring even, efficient materialloading for maximum capacity.

Powerful BlowerHigh velocity turbine fan produces20,000 C F M (567 m3/min.) for unsurpassedsweeping performance. Abrasion-resistantsteel blower and housing for extradurability. Rubber lined housing forextended life. Secure multiple V-groovepower belt adjusts automatically withoutrepositioning engine.

Easy Access Service DoorsAuxiliary engine, water system, hydraulicsystem and pneumatic system componentscan be easily accessed behind two full-service doors, without tilting the hopper.

Comprehensive Water SystemControls dust during sweeping andlubricates system to protect from abrasivematerials. Removable polyethylene tanksupplies system with 240 gallons (908 L)of clean water. 16 spray nozzles locatedat the side brooms, pick-up head andintake tube provides maximumlubrication and dust control. Side bro o mwater pumps can be selectively contro l l e df rom the cab to adjust to sweeping conditions.Includes in-cab water level gauge.

High Performance Sweeper EngineHeavy-duty John Deere 4045 TF115 HP diesel with exceptional power,increased fuel efficiency and extendedservice life. Standard equipmentincludes auto shut-down protectionfor high temp/low oil conditions and a115 H P John De e re engine for maximumperformance at higher elevations.

Operator-Friendly ControlsCentral-mounted console with rockerswitches, for total control of all sweepand spray water functions. Completegauges (aux. engine coolant temperature,engine diagnostics gauge, oil pressure,

charging voltage, fuel level, hour meterand engine speed) for quick review ofsystem conditions. Side broom downpressure controls and manual resetcircuit breakers further enhance easeof operation.

High Productivity Sweep System90 in. (2286 mm) wide pick-up head anddual 42 in. (1067 mm) side brooms createextra wide sweep path for maximumproductivity. 123/4 in. (324 mm) suctionhose readily accepts large debris. Quickdisconnect allows operator to inspect andclean hose/intake tube without raisinghopper. In-cab controlled vacuumenhancer/leaf bleeder facilitates sweepingunder light and bulky debris conditions.Hopper screens are easy to clean.

If you need top performance for airport applications, the Elgin FSX regenerative air sweeper is the machine for you.No other airport sweeper offers the versatile sweeping speeds that you get with the FSX. At 15 mph (24 kph) the FSX can sweep 950,000 sq. ft. (88,255 sq. m) of runway per hour, and sweeps tarmac, gate areas and access roadways at slower speeds.

• Nine-vane, closed face turbine fan creates 20,000 CFM (567 m3/min.) of air movement across pick-up head. • Achieves 100% pickup of stones, pea gravel and solid steel cylinders at 15 mph in certified airport tests.• Choice of conventional or cab-over chassis, plus options shown below.

Wandering HoseVersatile hydraulic-assisted hose gets intohard-to-reach corners and is extremelyeffective in catch basin cleaning.

Side Air BlastPowerful nozzles move material away from protruding guidance lights withoutdamaging them. Nozzles are raised andlowered hydraulically via in-cab controls.

Pick-up Head CastersSet of four wheels supports pick-up headover rough surfaces, reduces wear on dragshoes and eliminates sparks or scratches on runways.

1 Highly Efficient Air Conveyance SystemEfficient air flow is the heart of the new Crosswind. How well a sweeper

picks 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 anextra-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 performance

and 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 easyto service.

• Large fiberglass access doors allow quick inspection without tilting thehopper. 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 wires

have 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.
