Main Broom Pattern Check
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a flat, smooth
test surface. You may spread baby powder
on the test surface area to make the
broom pattern more visible.
1. Drive the machine onto the test surface.
2. Set the parking brake and put the brush switch in
the on position.
3. Push the broom control lever to the ON position to
activate the broom motor and open the throttle to
the “rabbit” or “tornado” position.
4. Depress Fwd/Rev pedal just enough to turn on
brush motor.
5. Allow about 45 seconds for the broom to operate,
then deactivate the broom motor and raise the
broom.
NOTE: Test time will vary according to the test
surface used.
6. Drive the machine clear of the test site.
7. Examine the polished pattern made by the broom
on the test area.
NOTE: A rectangular shape the length of the
main broom, 2” (5.08 cm) wide, indicates
the main broom is properly adjusted. A
pattern smaller then 2” (5.08 cm) indicates
need for lower adjustment. A pattern wider
than 2” (5.08 cm) indicates a need for
higher adjustment. If pattern is tapered
from end to end instead of rectangular,
see Taper Adjustment on the next page.
