MAIN BROOM LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The main broom level is factory set and should not need adjustment, if the level gets out of adjustment and
the broom bristle contact pattern is not an even 2" to 3" wide, the broom arm lift frame (page 96, part number
27) will have to be adjusted. The frame is supported by two flange bearings (part number 22). These
bearings are located inside the broom doors. The carriage bolts (part number 23) on the two end flanges will
have to be loosened. The frame can then be leveled and the bolts tightened.
