the machine, sweeping debris into the debris
hopper. It should be inspected daily for wear or
damage. Remove any string or wire found tangled
on the main brush, main brush drive hub, or main
brush idler hub.
Rotate the main brush end-for-end after every 50
hours of operation for maximum brush life and
best sweeping performance.
