SIDE BROOM (continued)
19
Side Broom Angle Adjustment
The side-to-side tilt of the side broom is adjustable. Once adjusted at the factory, re-adjustment is seldom
necessary. If adjustment is required, loosen the (2) “J” bolts (see Figure 5), tilt the broom to the desired angle
and re-tighten the bolts.
Check the adjustment with the side broom running. The broom should touch the floor from the “10 o’clock”
position to the “3 o’clock” position, as viewed from the operator’s seat.
