9.4 Determining sweeping direction WR 870 Honda
|
PRO
The Radial Sweeper is equipped with a robust mechanism for reversing
the direction of rotation. The desired direction of rotation is set by me
-
ans of a hand lever, which can be easily reached from the normal working
position.
Pull the lever up to remove the retaining pin from the hole. Now swing
the lever into the desired position and then push the retaining pin into
the provided hole.
Since the power transmission from the engine to the brush element is via
a V-belt drive that requires some friction, you should press the direction
selector lever in the desired direction until there is a noticeable resis
-
tance (no force necessary) and then fix it in the hole. Depending on the
degree of wear of the belt, it may be necessary after a certain period of
use to fix the lever in the next additional hole.
Before changing the direction of rotation, you should
stop the brush by moving the lever to the neutral
position (see above in the middle) to avoid unneces-
sary belt wear. Then position the lever again so that
the brush element turns in the desired direction.
