For heavy sand, dirt, or excessive scattered debris, travel slowly with machine to allow main broom to deliver
best results. Do not expect a completely clean surface on the fi rst pass under these conditions. Sometimes it
is necessary to have extra broom pressure where debris is excessively heavy. See “Main Broom Adjustment”
for information on adjusting broom to a “heavy” sweeping pattern. Material that adheres to the sweeping
surface: This type of wet or sticky material will require more broom pressure.
