Leveling Brush Head
The angle broom must be level for even brush wear
and efficient sweeping.
Figure 5. Measure Brush Frame Distance
1. Move the angle broom to a flat, level surface.
2. Position the brush head straight ahead and lower it
so the brush is two inches above the ground.
MAN0731 (9/19/2008)
3. Place a bubble level on the swing assembly and
level the brush front to back using the skid steer.
4. Set parking brake and shut off skid steer.
5. On each side, measure from the brush frame to the
ground. See Figure 5.
6. If adjustment is required: loosen hardware that
attaches the swing assembly to the brush head
assembly (Figure 6); lower the high side of the
brush head until both sides are equal distance from
the ground. Tighten hardware.
Figure 6. Swing Assembly Hardware
7. Angle the brush head to the right. Measure again
as shown in Figure 5. If measurements are equal,
no adjustment is required. If they are not equal,
check the level of the mounting assembly and
repeat the following steps, if necessary.
NOTE: The mounting assembly must be vertical.
Adjust the mounting chain to compensate.
8. After checking the mounting assemblies to see if
they are level, check the brush head assembly and
level as required.
Adjust Brush Pattern
A properly adjusted brush offers the best sweeping
performance. To check the brush pattern, move the
angle broom to a dusty, flat surface. Set the skid steer
parking brake and leave the engine running.
1. Start the broom at a low speed; then, lower it so the
bristle tips touch the ground. Run the broom in a
stationary position for ten seconds.
2. Raise the broom and back away. Switch off the
engine and remove the key.
3. The brush pattern left in the dust should be two to
three inches wide, running the length of the brush.
Compare the swept area with Figure 7.
