BRUSHES
SIDE BRUSHES
The side brushes sweep debris from the outer
edges of the machine into the path of the main
vacuum head.
Check the brushes daily for wear or damage.
Remove any string or wire found tangled on the
side brushes or side brush drive hubs.
Check the side brush pattern daily. The side brush
bristles should contact the floor in an 8 o’clock to
4 o’clock pattern when the brush is in motion.
Adjust the side to side position of the brushes
with the side brush bracket weldments in the front
of the side brush arms. A spacer can be added to
the top bolt of the right side mounting bracket, and
lower bolt on the left side mounting bracket, to
help give the brushes proper tilt.
Adjust the vertical tension of the brushes with the
tension spring bolt eyes. Turn the bolt eyes
counterclockwise to increase the brush contact
with the sweeping surface, and clockwise to
decrease the brush contact with the sweeping
surface.
