1. Do not store sweeper polypropylene brushes in direct sunlight!
Direct sunlight will cause the bristles to deteriorate, causing the bristles to become
brittle. If the broom is to be stored for any length of time, store it in the shade,
inside, or cover the brush with a tarp to protect it from the sun.
2. Do not stor the sweeper power broom with the weight on the bristles!
Storing the sweeper power broom with the weight on the bristles will permanently
deform the bristles, destroying the sweeping effectiveness of the brush. Block the
brush up off the ground.
WITH PROPER CARE, YOUR POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH WILL GIVE LONG HOURS
OF TROUBLE FREE SERVICE, WITH EXCEPTIONALLY LOW WEAR ON BRUSH.
3. How do you get longer brush life?
Three factors can be controlled to give longer brush life. Brush down pressure,
brush level (uneven brush wear), ground speed.
BRUSH DOWN PRESSURE: more down pressure does not give a better sweep.
A brush gets its sweeping action by the flicking action of the bristles. This is most
effectively done with the tips of the bristles.
When too much down pressure
is used the brush is working with
the sides of the bristles, not just
the tips. This mopping action not
only decreases the efficiency of
the brush but also causes 1/2” to
1 1/2” of bristle to be worn off at
once. Improper down pressure,
depending on the amount, can
decrease brush life 5% to 95%.
