12. GUTTER BROOM
The following sections deal with adjustments and replacement of mechanical portions of the gutter broom. For
the gutter broom hydraulic system maintenance, follow the procedures outlined for the gutter broom in Section
‘Maintenance Schedules’ and in Section ‘Sweeper Fluid Maintenance.’
12.1 Gutter Broom Pattern Check
A broom pattern is the pattern of marks left on a
sweeping surface after the sweeper has passed
over it. You should check this pattern to verify the
following conditions:
• That the broom is reaching the sweeping
surface
• That the left-broom pattern is a 9-to-1 o’clock
contact
Inspection:
1. Move the sweeper to a flat asphalt or concrete sweeping surface and start the auxiliary engine.
2. On the cab console control panel, toggle the gutter broom switch to ON.
3. Allow the broom to run in contact with the sweeping surface for a minute or so.
4. On the cab console control panel, toggle the gutter broom switch to RETRACT.
5. Reverse the sweeper several feet to expose the surface just swept.
6. Turn off the truck engine and set the parking brake.
7. Get out of the cab and inspect the broom pattern (the worn area on the sweeping surface). If either pattern
is irregular, the corresponding gutter broom needs adjustment. Follow the procedures outlined in this
section to make corrections.
