Main Broom Replacement

NOTE: Broom should be replaced if bristles worn

to a length of 1 in (2,5 cm) or less.

1. Turn the engine off and lock the parking brake.

2. Push the main broom control lever to the

LOWER position

3. Open the left broom chamber door (the door

opposite the driver’s seat).

4. Using a ¾ in (19 mm) wrench, remove the hex

bolt on the main broom idler mount.

5. Pull the main broom idler mount straight out to

remove.

6. Grasp the main broom by the plastic drive hub,

pull the main broom straight out and clear of the

broom chamber.

7. Depending on broom condition, you can either

rotate the old broom end-to-end and re-install it

or you can install a new broom. Slide the main

broom into the broom chamber and align the

broom with the metal drive hub located at the far

side of the broom chamber.

If a worn broom is being replaced, install the new

broom by rst adjusting the broom arms up, to

better match the position of the drive hub with

the hub on the new broom.
