SIDE BRUSH
The side brush sweeps debris from curbs or
gutters into the path of the main brush. It should
be inspected daily for wear or damage. Remove
any string or wire found tangled on the side brush
or side brush drive hub.
The side brush pattern should be checked daily.
Between one-third and one-half of the side brush
bristles should contact the floor when the brush is
in motion. The side brush pattern adjustment is
made by removing the side brush attaching
hardware, repositioning the side brush assembly,
and replacing the hardware.
The side brush should be replaced when the
remaining brush bristle measures 2.5 in (65 mm)
in length.
