MAIN BROOM
MAIN BROOM
To prevent the broom from setting in one direction and to provide the maximum life of the broom it is
recommended that the broom be turned end over end periodically.
ADJUSTING THE MAIN BROOM HEIGHT
The main broom adjustment knob for changing the sweep height to compensate for broom wear is located in
front of the machine as shown in figure 80. Turning the knob to the left (counterclockwise) will lower the main
broom. When changing the sweep height adjustment, it is recommended the knob be adjusted one turn at a
time. After adjusting, recheck the sweep pattern to determine if further adjustment is necessary.
TURN KNOB CLOCKWISE = INCREASE SWEEP PATTERN WIDTH
TURN KNOB COUTERCLOCKWISE = DECREASE SWEEP PATTERN WIDTH
