OPERATION
OM 0361BR-AC 18
The rotary broom's suspension design keeps
the ground pressure of the brush constant and
within a pressure range that makes the brush
sweep with the tips of the bristles for a longer
brush life. Improper downward pressure can decrease
brush life up to 95%. The broom must sweep
with the bristle tips. When too much down
pressure is applied, the broom no longer uses
the tips; the broom cleans with the sides of the
bristles. This limits the flicking action of the
bristles and limits its sweeping effectiveness.
General Sweeping
1. Minimize dust by reducing brush speed
and by sweeping on days with high
moisture.
2. For light material, angle broom 12.5
°
right
or left rather than fully angled to obtain a
wider sweeping path.
3. For heavier material, reduce ground speed
and angle the brush fully to the left or right
to expel the accumulated debris from the
sweeping path as quickly as possible thus
preventing build up.
4. Prevent damage to the broom by removing
large foreign objects.
Sweep with the tips!
