Maintenance

To prevent excessive wear, periodically lubricate the brush shaft bushings, the wheel bushings, and grease the ratchet assemblies in each wheel unit.

To lubricate the bushings:

1.Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown in Figure 20.

Every two years, the ratchet assemblies in each wheel should be cleaned and greased.

Note: When performing this procedure, take notes on the position of all washers, spacers, and retaining rings. Work on one side at a time to avoid mixing directional components.

To grease the ratchet assemblies:

1.Remove the dust cover, wheel nut, and washer, as described in Step 2 of "To Lubricate the Bushings", then remove the wheel (Figure 23).
