Adjusting the Brush Angles
You can adjust the brush angles so that any
accumulated material (e.g., sand, rubber, etc.)
collects on 1 side of the attachment. Drive in a circular
pattern to brush in the material.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface.
2.
Raise the brushes.
3.
Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key from the traction unit.
4.
Secure the attachment from movement.
5.
Loosen the nuts on the bearings for the brushes.
1. Nut (2 per bearing)
6.
Slide the brush to the desired position and
tighten the nuts. Torque to 202 to 248 N∙m (149
to 183 ft-lb).
Transporting the
Attachment
To begin transport operation, raise the brushes. To
avoid loss of control, traverse steep inclines slowly,
approach rough areas at reduced speed and cross
severe undulations carefully.
Important:
Do not exceed transport speeds of
15 km/h (9.3 mph).
