MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The highest maintenance item
BATTERIES:
on your machine will be its storage battery.
Please read the "About Batteries" section of
this book.
Replace the main brooms
MAIN BROOMS:
when they stop sweeping to your standards.
We recommend you use our brooms. They
are made for your machine. Our brand of
broom has a precision plastic core that is
carefully balanced and has machined insert
points so the broom fits tightly on the
machine's hubs. Brooms made by "will fit"
companies to fit our machines are often
made with rough drain-pipe cores. They
often bounce even when new. Bouncing
brooms do not sweep.
A new main broom has two and a half inches
of fiber on it. Normally, a main broom with
one and a half inches or less of fiber will not
sweep as well as a new broom.
We recommend the "Vee" type filter pattern,
which is able to fit the hopper fuller than the
"Spiral" type filter pattern.
MAIN BROOM REPLACEMENT
Note that you do not need to reverse the
broom periodically - as on other brands -
because our broom suspension does not
bend and splay the outerfibers of the broom.
TO REPLACE MAIN BROOM:
1. Turn off machine and unplug battery
connector. Shake the filter.
2. Raise main broom off ground with broom
lever.
3. Remove dirt hopper and broom access
door (3 screws).
4. Unbolt broom as shown (Item 3 in photo).
5. Pull out old broom.
6. Push on new broom-being careful to line
up the slot on the broom with the
driver's slots. Push the broom all the
way in.
7. Make sure "Vee" of the Vee broom points
forward when viewed from the top.
MAIN BROOM
Vee-Broom. Preferred Style
sweep as well as Vee-Broom.

Remove (1) Hopper, (2) Access
Panel, (3) Idler Arm (1 Bolt), and then
remove (4) the old Broom.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Always "park" the main broom when
machine is not in use.
If you leave the main broom on the floor
for an extended period without turning
it, you will put a flat spot in its fiber.
This will cause "broom bounce" and
bad sweeping.
