MAIN BROOM HEIGHT CHECK
NOTE:
Brooms with harder or softer bristles are
available. This procedure is applicable for all
types of brooms.
1.
Check the correct main broom height from the ground
(not carpet), proceeding as follows:
a.
With the machine on level ground, keep the
machine stationary and allow the main broom to
rotate for several seconds.
b.
Stop the main broom and move the machine.
c.
Check that the main broom pattern (1, Fig. D),
proper width, is from 2 to 4 cm(0.8-1.6 in) on the
type of surface where the machine will be used.
d.
If the pattern (1, Fig. D) is different, it is
necessary to adjust the broom height,
proceeding as described in step 2.
2.
With the machine on level ground, activate the brake
pedal (26, Fig. C) (if equipped), or block the wheels
3.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
4.
Loosen the knobs (1, Fig. E) on both side of the
machine.
5.
Using the knobs (1, fig. E) on both sides of the
machine, rotate the broom height adjuster indicator
(2) as necessary and then retighten the knobs (1).
NOTE:
The indicator (2) does not have to be at the
same position on both sides of the machine;
the maximum difference allowed is 2
notches to obtain a correct broom pattern (1,
Fig. D) from 2 to 4 cm (0.8 – 1.6 in) as
described in step 1.
6.
Perform step 1 again to check the proper adjustment
of the main broom height from ground.
7.
When the broom becomes too worn, adjustment is
no longer possible. Replace the broom following the
instructions in the following chapter.
CAUTION!
A main broom pattern in excess of 4 cm (1.6
in) compromise the normal function of the
machine and can overheat the electrical
components, drastically reducing their life.
Pay particular attention when checking the
main broom height (broom pattern) and
never operate the machine outside the
specifications listed above.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
MAIN BROOM REPLACEMENT
CAUTION!
It is advisable to use protective gloves when
replacing the main or side broom because
there can be potentially harmful debris
between the bristles.
NOTE:
Brooms with harder or softer bristles are
available. This procedure is applicable to
each type of broom.
1.
With the machine on level ground activate the brake
(26, Fig. C) (if equipped) or block the wheels.
2.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
3.
Loosen the knobs (1, Fig. E) on both sides of the
machine.
4.
Move the broom height adjuster indicators (2, Fig. E)
until the broom reaches the maximum distance from
the ground. Retighten the knobs (1).
5.
Open the cover (7, Fig. C).
6.
On the left side of the machine, remove the knob (3,
Fig. E).
7.
Remove the broom cover (1, Fig. F) by rotating the
top of the cover outward and lifting upward to
disengage the retainers (2).
8.
Remove the broom (1, Fig. G) by sliding it out slowly.
9.
Check that both broom hubs (4, Fig. R) are free of
dirt and foreign materials (cords, rope, etc.)
accidentally rolled up.
10. The new broom must be installed with the curve of
the bristle rows (1, Fig. H) as shown in figure (top
view).
11. Slide the new broom into the broom housing and
align the main broom hub (1, Fig. I) with the drive hub
(4, Fig. R).
12. Reinstall the broom cover (1, Fig. F) by engaging the
retainers (2) and aligning the plastic broom core with
the broom hub and pushing the top of the door
inward.
13. Retighten the knob (3, Fig. E).
14. Carry out the Main Broom Height Adjustment as
described in the previous paragraph.
