MAINTENANCE
HOPPER LIP SKIRTS
The hopper lip skirts seal the area between the lip of
the hopper and the floor. They also help deflect
debris into the hopper. The lip skirts should be
inspected for wear or damage daily. The lip skirts do
not require adjustment. They should be replaced
when the lower edge is worn down to the "Perform
Alert™" wear indicator line.
REPLACING THE HOPPER LIP SKIRTS
1. Empty the debris hopper.
2. Park the machine on a smooth, level floor.
3. Raise the hopper and engage the hopper safety
arm.
Raised hopper may fall. Engage hopper safety
arm.
4. Turn off machine and set parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine,
stop on level surface, apply parking brake, turn off
machine and remove key.
5. Remove the retainer plate on the right side of
the hopper.
6. Loosen the four lip skirt retaining bolts.
7. Slide the four hopper lip skirts out of the retainer
plate.
8. Slide the new hopper lip skirts into place.
9. Tighten the retaining bolts and replace lip skirt
retainer.
HOPPER DOOR SEALS
The hopper door seals prevent debris from spilling
out of the hopper before dumping. There are two
hopper door side seals, one hopper door lower seal
and one hopper door upper seal. The upper seal
can only be replaced by removing the hopper door
from the hopper. The hopper door seals should be
inspected for wear or damage daily. They do not
require adjustment.
REPLACING DOOR SEALS
1. Empty the debris hopper.
2. Park the machine on a smooth, level floor.
3. Raise the hopper and engage the hopper safety
arm.
Raised hopper may fall. Engage hopper safety
arm.

HOPPER

The hopper holds debris swept by the main broom.
The hopper should be dumped after each day of
operation and cleaned every 200 hours of operation.
For efficient sweeping, the correct hopper floor
clearance must be maintained.
1. Empty the hopper.
2. Park the machine on a smooth, level floor.
3. Turn off machine and set parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine,
stop on level surface, apply parking brake, turn off
machine and remove key.
4. Check the distance from the lower rear edge of
the hopper to the floor. The correct clearance is
2 inches (51 mm). The clearance should be
equal from side to side. A good method for
checking this clearance is to slide a 2 inch
(51mm) high bar under the hopper.
5. If necessary, loosen the two rear hopper
attachment bolts, raise or lower the rear of the
hopper to obtain the correct floor clearance, and
tighten bolts.
