SIDE BRUSH
The side brush sweeps debris along edges into
the path of the main brush.
Check the brush daily for wear or damage.
Remove any string or wire found tangled on the
side brush or side brush drive hub.
Check the side brush pattern daily. One-half of the
side brush bristles should contact the floor when
the brush is in motion. Adjust the side brush
pattern by the side brush down pressure knob.
Turn the knob counter-clockwise to increase the
brush contact with the sweeping surface, and
clockwise to decrease the brush contact with the
sweeping surface.
The side brush should be replaced when it no
longer sweeps effectively for your application. A
guideline length is when the remaining bristles
measure 50 mm in length. You may change the
side brush sooner if you are sweeping light litter,
or wear the bristles shorter if you are sweeping
heavy debris.
TO REPLACE SIDE BRUSH
1. Dump the debris hopper.
2. Set the machine parking brake.
3. Stop the engine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or
servicing machine; stop on level

5. Remove the side brush retaining pin from
the side brush drive shaft by pulling the pin
keeper off over the end of the pin.
6. Slide the side brush off the side brush drive
shaft.
