Broom Door Flap Inspection
NOTE: Perform this inspection when the
machine is parked on a level surface.
1. Turn the machine off and lock the parking
brake.
2. Inspect broom door flaps for wear and
damage. Flap clearance should be ⅛” (3.18
mm) above the floor.
3. Worn and damaged flaps should be replaced
immediately to maintain proper dust control.
Broom Door Flap Replacement and Adjustment
The flaps are attached to the broom doors by a
retainer bar, hex bolts and nuts. To remove the
flaps, remove the nuts, bolts and retainer bar. To
adjust the flaps, loosen the nuts and bolts, slide
the flap up or down as needed. Retighten the nuts
and bolts.
Main Broom Adjustment
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a flat, smooth
test surface.
1. Drive the machine onto the test surface with
the main broom in the RAISE position.
2. Set the parking brake and position the main
broom to the NORMAL position.
3. Push the broom control switch to the ON
position to activate the broom motor and open
the throttle to full RPM.
4. Allow about 45 seconds for the broom to
operate, then deactivate the broom motor and
raise the broom.
NOTE: Test time will vary according to the test
surface used.
5. Drive the machine clear of the test site.
6. Examine the polished pattern made by the
broom on the test area.
NOTE: A rectangular shape the length of the
main broom, 2” (5.08 cm) wide, indicates
the main broom is properly adjusted.
A pattern smaller then 2” (5.08 cm)
indicates need for lower adjustment. A
pattern wider than 2” (5.08 cm) indicates
a need for higher adjustment. If pattern
is tapered from end to end instead of
rectangular, see Taper Adjustment on the
next page.
Main Broom Height Adjustment
1. Turn the machine off and lock the parking
brake.
2. Position the main broom lever in the LOWER
position.
NOTE: The adjustment knob is located in the
engine compartment on the broom
control handle pivot.
3. Turn the broom adjusting knob clockwise one-
eighth turn to free the wing nut.
4. Turn the wing nut counter-clockwise to allow
space for adjustment.
5. Make a lower or higher adjustment with the
knob as required.
6. Retighten the wing nut.
7. Repeat the main broom adjustment test to
see that the broom is properly adjusted.
