Page 56: Adjusting The Side Broom Height
MAINTENANCE Fig. 89 SIDE BROOM ADJUSTMENT KNOB Fig. 90 Fig. 91 1-56 SIDE BROOM The side broom (Fig. 89) sweeping angle is not adjustable. However, the height of the side broom can be adjusted to compensate as the broom becomes worn from use. Always check and adjust the sweep pattern after changing the side broom. - Page 57 Fig. 92 HOPPER The hopper (Fig. 92) houses the debris compartment, the dust control filter and the removable dust baffle. For maximum performance and service life, keep the hopper clean and inspect the seals and flaps daily. Clean the hopper prior to parking the sweeper at the end of the day. A clean hopper will make inspecting the flaps and seals much easier and will prevent premature deterioration of hopper components.
- Page 58 MAINTENANCE DUST FLAPS The dust flaps are very important to sweeping and dust control and are susceptible to damage and should be inspected daily and maintained in good condition. CHECKING THE DUST FLAPS The dust flaps are used on the wheel well, broom chamber and broom door. Inspect the flaps daily and replace any flap that shows signs of wear or deterioration.
