GENERAL MACHINE MAINTENANCE
HOW TO ADJUST MAIN BROOM WEAR PATTERN
When the bristles of the broom begin to wear out the following adjustments may be made to keep a 2 inch (5 cm) broom pattern.
1.
Loosen the wing nut located in the engine compartment.
2.
Set the broom lever to the "Sweep" position and adjust the torque knob to obtain a 2 inch (5 cm) broom pattern. The torque knob will move
the linkage rod that adjusts the sweeping pattern of the broom for wear.
3.
Tighten the wing nut against the torque knob.
SIDE BROOM LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
As the side broom wears, simply loosen the two wear adjusting bolts and slide the broom-motor assembly into a position so that the broom
contacts the fl oor at a 3 degree angle when lowered.
SIDE BROOM REPLACEMENT
Put the side broom lift control in the "UP" position. Remove the retaining screw in the bottom middle of the side broom. Remove the side broom.
Transfer the side broom fl ange, spacer, screws, washers, and nuts to the replacement side broom. Put the replacement side broom on the shaft.
Put the retaining screw and washer in position and tighten.
BROOM FLAPS
The Urethane Flaps are susceptible to damage and should be inspected regularly and maintained in good condition. The side and hopper fl aps
(A) are adjustable and should be maintained even with the fl oor. The rear fl ap must be maintained 1/16" (1.6 mm.) above the fl oor. All fl aps should
be replaced when worn or damaged to such an extent that they cannot perform their normal function.
