See Figure 1. If the strip is too narrow or too wide, open the lower access door on the left side of the
machine. Loosen the locknut and adjust turnbuckle “A”. This turnbuckle controls the working height of
the sweeping broom. Lower the broom if the strip is too narrow, raise the broom if the strip is too wide.
Then tighten the locknut.

BROOM LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The sweeping broom has a level adjustment to control the height of just the right end of the broom. This
allows the broom to be adjusted so that it runs parallel to the floor. The adjustment bolts are located at the
right end of the broom, inside the broom access door.
Once the level is set at the factory, further adjustment is seldom necessary. Adjust the broom level only if the
sweeping broom pattern (see
BROOM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
section) appears to be tapered after installing
a new broom, or if the broom diameter of a used broom is larger on one end than it is on the other.
To adjust the broom level . . .
1
Drive the machine to an area with a level, dry floor and apply the parking brake.
2
With the machine running, put the broom lever in the SWEEP position (middle notch). Do not move the
machine. Let the broom run for about 1 minute. This allows the broom to polish a “strip” on the floor.
