MAIN BROOM

The main broom has been preset at the factory for maximum

sweeping efficiency. If adjustments are required for surfaces or

wear, this can be done by turning the adjustment knob. The height

indicator will show the position of the broom as you make your

adjustment. For best operating performance, the bristles of the

broom should just touch the floor. NOTE: If the main broom is set

too low, the sweeper will be hard to push.

SIDE BROOM

The side broom should be lowered and used when sweeping

along curbs or walls; it may also be used when sweeping

open areas. The side broom height should be adjusted to have

approximately 1/3 of the bristles touching the floor. To make an

adjustment, turn the adjustment knob.

OPERATING PUSH SWEEPER

Push sweeper forward at normal walking speed; it does not operate when pulled backwards.

1. To empty the dirt hopper, lift up on the handle located on the

front of the hopper, and empty contents into a proper container.

2. Replace dirt hopper back on sweeper by placing front edge of

hopper on sweeper frame.

3. Apply downward pressure until the hopper is in its proper

position.

4. The dirt hopper should be emptied after each use, or as

required. A full dirt hopper will affect the sweeping efficiency

of the push sweeper.

1. After each use, check for materials which may have become wrapped around brushes or wheels, and

remove immediately.

2. Do not lubricate gears, clutch or other internal parts.

3. Inspect rubber dust seals periodically for wear or damage; replace as required.

4. Inspect the main broom periodically for wear; replace when the bristles are worn to a length of 1½ inches

or less. The main broom can be easily replaced by removing three screws from each half. The same

screws can then be used to attach the replacement broom.

5. Side broom should be inspected periodically for wear; replace when (with the adjustment in the down

position) less than 1/3 of the bristles come in contact with the surface. The side broom can be easily

replaced by removing the screws from the brush holder and reassembling the replacement brush, using

the same hardware.
