BRUSHES
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on level surface, place drive
lever in neutral, set parking brake, turn off
machine, and remove key.
Check the brushes for wear daily. Remove tangled
debris from the brushes and brush drive motors.
REPLACING THE BRUSHES
Replace the brushes when the bristles are
approximately 76 mm (3 in) in length or when the
brushes no longer adequately sweep.
1. Remove the brush assembly cover.
2. Loosen the six allen screws with the provided
tool.
3. Remove the brush from the brush drive.
4. Install the new brush. Rotate the right brush
clockwise and the left brush counterclockwise
until all the allen screws slide into the slots.
Tighten the screws.
5. Reinstall the brush assembly cover.
6. Adjust the brush angle. See ADJUSTING
THE BRUSH ANGLE section of this manual.
ADJUSTING THE BRUSH ANGLE
Adjust the angle for each brush so debris is swept
toward the center of the machine. For best
sweeping performance the left brush bristles
should touch the surface between 2 o’clock and 8
o’clock and the right brush bristles should touch
the surface between 10 o’clock and 4 o’clock
when sweeping.
1. Remove the brush assembly cover.
