SWEEPING SYSTEM SERVICE

MAIN BROOM

To prevent the broom from “setting” in one direction and to provide the maximum life of the broom it is recom- mended that the broom be turned end over end periodically.

CHECKING THE MAIN BROOM SWEEP PATTERN

Check the main broom sweep pattern after changing the broom or when poor sweeping performance is encoun- tered while sweeping.

1.While the machine is not moving, lower the main broom to the “SWEEP” position and let machine sweep in one spot for a short period of time.

2.Before moving the machine, raise main broom lever to the “UP” position and move the sweeper forward enough to see the pattern left by the main broom bristles on the floor.

3.Check the width of the pattern on the floor to determine if the main broom requires adjustment.

-A normal sweep pattern left on the floor will be between 1 and 2 inches wide.

-A pattern that is more than 2 inches wide indicates the broom linkage needs to be adjusted “UP.” -A pattern that is less than 1 inch wide indicates the broom linkage needs to be adjusted “DOWN.”

ADJUSTING THE MAIN BROOM HEIGHT

When changing the sweep height adjustment it is recommended that the bolt be adjusted 1 turn at a time. After adjustment, recheck the sweep pattern to determine if further adjustment is necessary.

-Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to INCREASE the sweep pattern width. -Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to DECREASE the sweep pattern width.

REPLACING THE MAIN BROOM

MAIN BROOM LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The main broom level is factory set and should not need adjustment. If the level becomes out of adjustment and the broom bristle contact pattern is not an even 1" to 2" wide, the broom arm lift frame will need to be adjusted. The frame is supported by two plates located inside the broom doors. The carriage bolts that secure the plates to the frame will need to be loosened. The frame can then be leveled and the bolts re-tightened.
