GENERAL INFORMATION
The main broom, the broom housing and the hopper are the main parts of the sweeping system. The main
broom lifts the dirt off of the floor and into the hopper. The broom housing and its skirts keep the litter and dust
from spreading beyond the sweeping path of the machine.

MAIN BROOM MAINTENANCE
The main broom should be serviced at regular intervals to maintain good sweeping performance. The follow-
ing maintenance steps should be completed every 30 hours of operation.
1
Raise the hopper and install the hopper safety support. Then remove any debris wrapped around the
broom, broom motor shaft or idler hub.
2
Open the door at the right end of the broom housing and inspect the broom bristles. Rotate the broom if
the bristles are curved. Replace the broom if the bristles are worn to a length of 2 inches (5 cm) or less.
3
Clean built-up dirt from the inside of the broom housing.
4
Check main broom height adjustment.
