MAIN BROOM
The main broom sweeps debris into the
debris hopper.
Check the main broom daily for damage
or wear. Remove any debris found
tangled on the main broom or main
broom hubs.
Check the main broom daily for proper
adjustment.
For maximum life, the main broom
should be turned end-for-end after
every 50 hours of use.
The main broom should be replaced
when the bristles are worn to 50mm
(1.50 in.) in length, or when the main
broom no longer sweeps effectively
in your application.
ADJUSTING THE MAIN BROOM
The sweeper must be mounted to the
forklift, on the ground, and leveled.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving the
forklift, stop on a level surface, set the
forklift parking brake, turn off the
forklift and remove the key.
1. Loosen the knob on the main broom
locking assembly. Note that the locking
assembly has two fingers that extend into
the main broom lever slot.
2. Slide the locking assembly to the bottom
of the slot.
3. Move the main broom lever from the
“broom up” top position and lower it
until the main broom contacts the floor.
4. Raise the locking assembly until the top
finger touches the main broom lever.
Tighten the knob on the locking assembly.
5. Position the main broom lever between
the two fingers of the locking assembly.
The main broom is now in the optimum
position for sweeping.
