if you pull on the broom lever at the same time;
this relieves pressure from the adjustment).

plastic mount included, so no need to unscrew
the old one).

If your machine's side broom mounting
shaft has more than one mounting hole for the
broom pin, always use the top hole.
6. Lower broom - with motor off - and turn
adjustment control until broom pattern shows
11 O'Clock to 5 O'Clock contact pattern. (see next

noises that show chain adjustment is needed.
A properly adjusted chain leaves about 1/4 to
1/2 inch of slack, as shown.
