MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
BROOM CONTACT ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment should be done with the rear drive axle in the 2-1/2 inch position. As the bristles
approach the wear limit, it will be necessary to adjust the rear drive axle to the 3-1/2 inch position.
1. Park the sweeper on a level surface.
2. Use the crank handle to fully lower the broom to the ground.
3. Adjust the support springs, via the eye bolts, to the same setting.
4. With the engine running just above idle speed, move the blade control lever ON to rotate the broom for
about 30 seconds, and then move the blade control lever OFF.
5. Use the lift crank to lift the broom and inspect the broom contact pattern. It should be approximately 2
to 4 inches wide.
6. If adjustment is necessary, loosen both jam nuts and turn each adjusting nut evenly. If wider than 4
inches, increase spring tension by tightening the adjusting nuts. If narrower than 2 inches, decrease
the spring tension by loosening the adjusting nuts.
7. After adjustment, tighten the jam nut against the adjusting nut on each eye bolt.
