MAIN BROOM (Refer to the Main Broom Group
and Main Broom Lift Group in the Parts section)
FOR SAFETY: The main broom and the vacuum
impeller automatically begin to operate when the
main broom lever is positioned in the forward end of
its slot.
The main broom spans the width of the machine,
and sweeps debris into the hopper. Inspect the
main broom daily for wear or damage. Remove any
obstructions found in the main broom chamber, main
broom drive hub or idler hub.
The main broom should be replaced when the
remaining bristles measure 5/8 “ (16mm) or less in
length.
NOTE: All original equipment brooms are equipped
with “Perform Alert™”. This feature tells the
operator when it is time to replace the main broom.
“Perform Alert™” brooms have bright yellow tufts
located on each end of the broom. These tufts are
pre-trimmed to indicate the length of a worn out
broom. When the main body of the broom wears to
a length that matches the yellow tufts, the broom
should be replaced.
Always check the main broom pattern when
installing a new broom.
