SWEEPING SYSTEM MAIN BROOM MAINTENANCE Since the Main Broom Motor always turns in the same direction, the bristles on the broom eventually become curved, reducing sweeping performance. Sweeping performance can be improved by removing the broom and turning it around (end-for-end). This procedure, known as “rotating” the main broom, should be done once every 30 hours of operation.
SWEEPING SYSTEM BROOM LEVER SWITCH S16 REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT Drain, unlatch and swing open the recovery tank to locate the switch access panel. Remove the (4) screws from the access panel near the location of the broom lever. Remove the two wire connectors from the broom switch (S16) and then remove the screw and nut that fasten it to the chassis. Install new switch but leave the mounting screws loose.
SWEEPING SYSTEM SIDE BROOM MAINTENANCE The side broom(s) move dirt and debris away from walls or curbs and into the path of the main broom. Adjust the side broom so that the bristles are contacting the floor from the 10 O’clock (R) to the 3 O’clock (S) area shown in Figure 3 when the broom is down and running. To adjust the Side Broom...
SWEEPING SYSTEM SIDE BROOM MOTOR REMOVAL Lower the side broom(s). Note: The main broom must be first lowered to allow the side brooms to be lowered. Raise hopper to a comfortable work position (eye level). Then remove the side broom and plastic broom guard. Mark and remove the hydraulic hoses to the motor that needs to be serviced (plug and cap).
SWEEPING SYSTEM SIDE BROOM LIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR REPLACEMENT Removal Place the side brooms in the lowered position if possible or blocking underneath the brooms to remove weight from the lift linkage. Open hopper cover, set cover prop rod, remove hopper filter, and latch filter rack. Then remove the hopper access panel held in-place by (11) Philips head screws.
SWEEPING SYSTEM SIDE BROOM LIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR ADJUSTMENT See Figure 6. This shows the jumper wiring needed to connect the machine’s battery to the actuator motor’s three-wire connector. Note: Reference the bill of material for building the two jumper wires. Important Service Note: The P.N. 56407502 power cord adapter normally used on all other two-wire actuator motors should not be used.

SWEEPING SYSTEM FIGURE 8 IMPELLER MOTOR REMOVAL WARNING! Remove key and disconnect battery before servicing impeller. Raise and support hopper cover. See Figure 8. Raise and support shaker assembly and remove Filter (AK). Remove 11 bolts from access cover and remove cover.
SWEEPING SYSTEM MAIN BROOM LIFT CABLE REPLACEMENT (CONTINUED) Start the engine and lower the scrub deck and then remove the rear engine panel to access the exhaust system. CAUTION! Allow a hot exhaust system to cool before disassembling. See Figure 10. Remove the (2) item (AW) Exhaust Flange Bolts and separate the exhaust pipe inlet tubing Connection (AX). Next remove the Muffler Clamp (AY) and separate the outlet exhaust Tube (AZ) from the muffler.
HOPPER SYSTEM SEALS AND SKIRTS IDENTIFICATION AND REPLACEMENT To access: Hopper should be empty. Raise and support the hopper, open the dump door. WARNING! Do not have engine running when working under hopper. Description Blade Hopper Boot Dust Shield Blade Dump Door Wiper Seal Horizontal Hopper Door Blade...
HOPPER SYSTEM FIGURE 2 FRONT DUMP DOOR CYLINDER REMOVAL To access: Raise Hopper Cover and engage hopper cover prop rod. See Figure 2. Raise and support Shaker Assembly (H). Remove filter assembly. Remove (11) Bolts (I) and remove Access Panel (J). To remove cylinder: Remove the two hoses from Door Cylinder (K).
HOPPER SYSTEM HOPPER LIFT CYLINDER REMOVAL Note: To remove the cylinder it is necessary for the hopper to be in the raised position. If the cylinder will not raise under its own power it will be necessary to press and hold the hopper raise switch with the key switch on and raise the hopper with an overhead hoist or some other alternate method.
SOLUTION SYSTEM SOLUTION TANK REMOVAL Drain both the solution and recovery tanks using the tanks’ drain hoses, then start machine and lower the scrub deck. Remove the A1 control board Access Panel (A) and disconnect the solution float wire harness connector. Swing open the recovery tank, separate the support strap, and disconnect tank full indicator wiring harness and lift tank off its hinge plate.

SCRUB SYSTEM SCRUB DECK ASSEMBLY REMOVAL Remove both scrub deck side skirt assemblies. Then lower the scrub deck and leave the scrub brushes on so that the deck can slide easily to remove. See Figure 1. Loosen the Hose Clamp (A) and pry the solution feed hose off from the solution manifold barbed Fitting (B). Important General Service Note: When removing hydraulic hoses cap and plug all open hoses and fittings.
RECOVERY SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If water flows around the ends of the squeegee tool, instead of being pulled into the tool, the vacuum system is not working properly. When a vacuum system performs poorly, it is usually because of one of the following problems: Vacuum Leak(s) –...
RECOVERY SYSTEM VACUUM FAN MOTOR REPLACEMENT Remove recovery tank; following the steps in Recovery Tank Removal manual section. See Figure 2. Remove the Top Plate (A) held in place by (4) item (B) hex HD screws. Remove the Vacuum Fan (C) secured by the Hex Nut (D). Note: Do not lose the Fan Spacer (E) and the Keyway (F). Remove the three hydraulic hoses #18, #20 &...
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE After each use, clean the squeegee tool and check the blades for damage. If the squeegee leaves water in the middle of its path or at both ends of its path, it probably needs to be adjusted. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn. To adjust the squeegee: Park the machine on a level floor, lower the squeegee and drive forward a short distance.
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM REMOVAL OF SQUEEGEE MOUNT ASSEMBLY Remove the squeegee tool assembly from the machine then start the engine and lower the squeegee mount. See Figure 3. Remove the (4) Parallel Arms (J) (two per side) from the squeegee mount Towers (K) as shown. This will allow movement of the Mount Assembly (L) and allow easy access to the lift cylinder rod Nut (M).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM A1 MAIN CONTROL BOARD REMOVAL WARNING! Disconnect the battery before servicing. Set the foot pedal activated parking brake (press it all the way forward). Remove the A1 board’s Access Panel (A) held in place by (4) screws. Remove the Relay Bracket Assembly (B) fastened by (2) screws from the control board compartment. Then lay the relay bracket to the side onto the floor plate.
