Main Broom Adjustment
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a at, smooth
test surface.
1. Drive the machine onto the test surface with the
main broom in the RAISE position.
2. Set the parking brake and position the main
broom to the NORMAL position.
3. Push the broom control switch to the ON position
to activate the broom motor and open the throttle
to full RPM.
4. Allow about 45 seconds for the broom to
operate, then deactivate the broom motor and
raise the broom.
NOTE: Test time will vary according to the test
surface used.
5. Drive the machine clear of the test site.
6. Examine the polished pattern made by the
broom on the test area.
NOTE: A rectangular shape the length of the
main broom, 2 in (5,08 cm) wide, indicates
the main broom is properly adjusted.
A pattern smaller then 2 in (5,08 cm)
indicates need for lower adjustment. A
pattern wider than 2 in (5,08 cm) indicates
a need for higher adjustment. If pattern
is tapered from end to end instead of
rectangular, see Taper Adjustment on the
next page.
