While sweeping light material like leaves, if the
sweeper starts pushing a pile of the material,
sweeping may be improved by raising the conveyor
slightly. To make this change, tap the MB / Conv
Height switch (50, Figure O-1).
SWEEPING PATTERNS
Broom sweeping patterns are a guideline of sweep-
ing performance. Patterns should be checked daily.
A pattern may be wrong because of incorrect broom
downpressure, incorrect broom angle, or excessive
broom wear.
A pattern narrower than that in Figure O-8 indi-
cates that there is too little downpressure, which
will result in poor sweeping performance. A pattern
wider than the diagram indicates excessive down-
pressure, which will cause the broom to wear too
fast.
If a side broom is set too flat, debris will be scat-
tered instead of being directed to the path of the
