MAIN BRUSH PRESSURE ON THE
GROUND CHECK
1.
Check that the main brush is at the correct height
from the ground, proceeding as follows:
– Drive the machine on a level ground;
– Keep the machine stationary and rotate the main
brush for a few seconds;
– Stop and lift the main brush, then move the
machine;
– Check that the side brush print is, in extension and
orientation, as shown in the figure (1, Fig. J) (the
figure shows the right brush, the left brush print is
symmetrical).
In case the print is not within specifications, it is
necessary to adjust the brush height, proceeding as
described in the following steps.
2.
Slacken the knob (12, Fig. B) and move the limit stop
(13), which is used to lower the main brush.
3.
Perform step 1 again to check the proper adjustment
of the main brush height from the ground.
4.
When the brush is too worn and can no longer be
adjusted, replace it according to the instructions in the
following paragraph.
NOTE
Top up using the same type of oil as the one
in the tank. For the types of oil to use, see
the Technical Data.
NOTE
Brushes with harder or softer bristles are
available. This procedure is applicable to all
types of brushes.
