b. Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom.
c. Remove any material which has wrapped around brushes or ends of brush shaft.
• Inspect for worn or damaged parts, such as brushes and wheels, before each use. Replace as
necessary.
• (Figure 27) Lubricate the brush shaft bearing twice a year with a few drops of light weight oil.
• (Figure 28) Lubricate the wheel bearings each season. Remove the hub cap and apply a few drops
of light weight oil.
