REPLACING MAIN BROOM

PAGE 10

1.   TURN THE MACHINE OFF.  USE A 9/16 INCH
      WRENCH TO REMOVE THE 3/8-16 HCS SCREW
      AND REMOVE THE IDLER ARM.

(SEE FIGURE 11.)

2.   THE MAIN BROOM SHOULD SLIDE OUT THE SIDE
      OF THE MACHINE EASILY.

(SEE FIGURE 12.)

3.   SLIDE THE NEW BROOM IN.  WHEN YOU GET THE
      BRUSH ON THE DRIVER SPIN IT WITH YOUR HAND
      UNTIL YOU FEEL IT CATCH ON THE DRIVER AND THEN
      PRESS IN COMPLETELY ON.

(SEE FIGURE 13.)

4.   WHEN THE MAIN BROOM COMPLETLY INSTALLED
      REPLACE THE IDLER ARM AND THE FASTENERS.
      THE ARM SHOULD GO ON EASILY,  AND METAL
      TO METAL.  IF THERE IS ANY GAPS LEFT BEFORE
      TIGHTENING,  IT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED
      PROPERLY.

  (SEE FIGURE 14.)

NOTE:   SELECT THE BROOM  FIBER THAT BEST  MEETS  YOUR  CLEANING APPLICATION
             CONSULT YOUR LOCAL CEALER FOR ASSISTANCE.

(SEE BRUSH TYPES ON PAGE 4.)

WARNING:

IF THE BROOM IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED

                   WITH THE DRIVERS,  THE BRUSHES WILL
                    BE DAMAGED.  DO NOT FORCE THE
                    IDELER ARM BACK ON.  THIS USUALLY
                    INDICATES IMPROPER INSTALLATION
